國內大學部人因工程課程之實施現況與建議

本研究主要透過網路問卷方式，調查國內人因工程課程在大學部的實施現況，並提出具體改進與規劃建議。問卷共蒐集34位最近開設人因工程相關課程的大學部教師(不含研究所)，其中具博士、碩士學位比例約為2:1，平均年資6.5年，分析結果發現：(1)人因工程雖為應用性課程，但課程實施方式以理論講授為主(51.1%)，實務講授比例明顯偏低(4.1%)；(2)現階段課程實施的困難點以「範圍廣泛教學不易」最被認同(47.1%)，其次是可講授的個案太少(41.1%)；(3)高達97.1%的受訪者同意大學部人因工程課程目標在於「推廣並建立學生人性化的知識與技能」；(4)國內有關產品設計、人機系統、安全與衛生領域的師資比例約佔全部師資64.7%。基於此，本研究建議，國內人因工程課程應開發實務性教材與人因個案、發展通識化的人因工程課程、設計以合授為基礎之整合性課程，同時因應未來產業趨勢與科技的持續蓬勃，鼓勵相關人因工程議題(如人類訊息處理、服務業人因工程等)之開發與師資培育，期使國內人因工程教育更具未來性與前瞻性。
The purpose of this investigation was to understand the current ergonomics courses implemented in undergraduate in Taiwan. Thirty-four subject,with an averaged experience in teaching of 6.5 years, were internetly questionnaired and they were member of E.S.T as well as the related teachers in colleges. The results showed that 64.7% of the specialists in ergonomics in Taiwan were focused in product design, human-machine system, and industrial safety and health. Very little practical content was invoved in current ergonomics courses(4.1%). All subjects responded that "too diverse in topics to teach" was the most difficult and that "knowlege and skill in humanization" was main subjective in teaching. The study suggested that efforts have to be made in improving ergonomics course, including adding materials and case studies, and stuies, and developing general and integated courses. Some field (e.g., human information processing and applied ergonomics in service industry) would be expanded in both teachers and related topics in the future.
