This study was a case study conducted at a junior high school in Taitung City. The researcher developed the pretest and posttest materials and semi-structured questionnaire. An expert review was conducted to establish the content validity. Then a pilot study was administered by distributing the pretest and posttest materials and semi-structured questionnaire to a total of 210 junior high school students in order to establish the reliability through SPSS statistical analyses.
