| Summary: | 碩士 === 佛光人文社會學院 === 教育資訊學研究所 === 93 === The main purpose of this research is to compare the effects of the two methods﹘GSP computer-assisted instructional method and the traditional narrative teaching method﹘when teaching geometry to 8th grade students who first undergo the nine-year curriculum. Students’ learning results and attitudes are analyzed as a reference for developing GSP computer-assisted instruction in junior high schools in the future.
A Quasi-experimental approach is adopted in this research, using pretest-posttest equivalent-groups design. Experimental samples are two eighth-grade classes, 58 students in total, taken from one junior high school in Ilan county. One class is utilized as the experimental group, while the other one as the control group. The GSP computer-assisted instructional method is used in the former group while the traditional narrative teaching method is utilized in the latter group. The experiment is conducted for 5 weeks, and the teaching content is geometry, (the congruity of two triangles and the properties of parallelograms.) After the five weeks’ experiment, a comparison of learning achievements and learning attitudes is made between the two groups. In addition, an investigation of the experimental group’s learning attitude computer-assisted instructional method is made.
There are three conclusions after statistical analysis of the data. First, in the learning achievement, neither of the two groups has statistically significant change. As for the immediate learning result, besides the middle-level students in the control group, who perform better than those in the experimental group, students in the experimental group perform better than those in the control group. Second, in learning attitude, neither of the two groups have significant change. Moreover, students of both groups have negative growth in their learning attitude, while only the low-level students in the experimental group have positive growth. Third, students of the experimental group, especially those high-level students, have positive attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction method.
