碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業教育學系 === 93 === In order to apply Problem Based Learning to enhance Industrial Education quality, this study selected “computer troubleshooting” as experimental instruction course to test its effectiveness. Twenty sophomore students in Industrial Education Department of NTNU were selected to participate in this study. The effectiveness was evaluated through student homework, problem-based learning checking table, portfolio of studying and satisfaction survey. Further, six participants were selected for an in-depth interview. The following conclusions were drawn through statistic analysis: 1. Students can effectively develop logical thoughts for solving problems with “System Analysis” method in PBL. 2. The strategies of PBL can maintain learning motivation and assist to resolve the problems in life. 3. The participation attitude is in correlation to the depth of problem solving discussion. 4. The more the data collected for PBL influence the depth of PBL discussion directly. 5. Several aspects impact the student learning achievement such as tutor’s scoring method, their ability to guide, team leader’s leadership, the teammate cooperation and the individual’s attitude. 6. Students need to discuss one problem for several times to gain a solution and achieve the consensus. 7. Several impact factors to the portfolio are : 1) Learning situation description 2) Learning guidance 3) New information supply 4) Supplement material supply. 8. Factors affects learning progression are as: 1) Prior knowledge and personal experience 2) Individual assignments 3) Method of data collection 4) Tutor’s involvement with guidance 5) Team leader’s leadership 6) Discussion participation 7) Length of learning period 8) Evaluation method Keywords: Problem-Based Learning, Computer Troubleshooting, portfolio
