研究限制與未來展望

壹、研究限制

上文中提及 Model-Data Fit 不如預期可能是樣本數過小所引起，研究者認 為這一點為本研究之限制之一。為了解決這個問題，研究者認為只需要控制好 抽樣，採取適切的抽樣方法與抽樣數量即可克服這樣的問題。

其次，目前任何一種測量方法與分析方法皆會有其限制與誤差，這是不可 避免的，即使試題反應理論是為了克服古典測驗理論的缺點而發展，但是其複 雜的統計模式與運算增添了分析的難度，即使目前的估算法已發展行之有年，

相對應的電腦套裝軟體也如雨後春筍般冒出，但是估計值與其誤差的考量亦是 相關研究人員所需關注的重點。因此在解釋上更是不得不慎。

貳、未來展望

大學生想像力測驗的發展到這邊已經有一定的雛型了，但是測驗的編製分 析與發展並不應止於此。未來的發展有下列各點：

首先，應該增加抽樣的樣本來源除了增加樣本數之外，更應該增加樣本的 代表性，不但可以使分析的結果更精準，分析完成後所得的結果亦更可以推估 至母群。

其次是在進行評分者效果的探討的時候，本研究只使用兩位評分者，然而 在真正的社會環境中，只有兩位的評分者是較無說服力的，因此除了增加樣本 的來源之外，增加數位相關領域之評分者亦為重要的方向。

第三，本研究評分者間差異較少的情況是否是評分者之間的同質性較高?

抑或是因為已經給予評分標準所影響?這也許是在探討評分者效果時可以討論

27

的重點之一。

最後，設計類科大學生想像力測驗評分的指標雖然固定，但是皆由評分者 進行評分，亦即評分者主觀意識可能影響結果。在本研究中雖然成功的控制了 此變項，但是如果能夠將評分方法標準化，往後皆交由電腦進行評分，不但可 以排除評分者的主觀意識，亦可大幅降低人事成本，此為大學生想像力測驗往 前發展的一大步。
