碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 91 === Under the rapid development of technology, the flow of information and stuff is accelerated more quickly than that people expect so that everyone can get diversified information more easily than before, and further thereby gradually changes our learning mechanism until now. To the growth of distance education, there were many prototypes produced for the need of learning in early period, but there were also some faults on them, hampering the learning effect comparing to traditional learning, and they had been attributed to an auxiliary and informal learning approach. Recently, with the popularity of Internet where any sort of media could go through and aggressive push from government, the distance education will be a new platform of learning. According the literature review in the effect of distance education, there are lots of researches to discuss this issue pro and con. Due to the lack of discussion from each field, this study will differentiate the approach from before their subjects were always from school, and elevate the Generalizability in order to delicate the different findings for the reference of learning approach in the near future. In the field experiment, different learning environments and learning motivations substantially influenced the subjects on learning process so as to produce distinctive learning performance or effectiveness including achievement, self-efficacy, and satisfaction. Subjects with various learning styles also interacted diversely with learning environment and reflected different performance during the different learning approaches. These findings could suggest that each individual owns himself or herself traits to fit learning environment and gets better performance, and trainer could create a unique learning approach for individuals who own these characteristics. Furthermore, the experiment had held the some factors in order to keep the homogeneity between control group and experimental group so that the study could gain more the precise insight into the difference between two learning environments.
