Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 數學教育學系教學碩士班 === 98 === The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the application of the concept mapping Instructional design on the improvement of students’ learning abilities, students’ interests toward math learning, and their satisfaction toward learning .The subjects in this study were two fifth graders, fifty-eight students, in an elementary school in Kaohsiung City. The students were divided into cooperative concept mapping group and traditional teaching group. This study was conducted for six weeks. This study applied quasi-experimental designs. The instruments employed in this study were Math Learning Achievement Assessment, The Rating Scale of Learning Interests toward Math, and The Rating Scale of satisfaction toward Math Learning. The data collected in this study was examined in two ways: by quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis. The major findings of this study were summarized as follows: 1. In light of learning achievement, the cooperative concept mapping Instructional design group have better performance than the traditional learning group. Besides, there were no significant differences in male and female students in the cooperative concept mapping Instructional design group. 2. In terms of student’s learning interests, there were no significant differences between the two groups. There were no overt differences between the male and female students in the cooperative concept mapping group. There are no significant differences between the students with different mathematical abilities in the cooperative concept mapping group. 3. Regarding the satisfaction of the cooperative concept mapping instructional design, most of the students of the experimental group had positive feedback toward the learning method. Finally, based on the results, several suggestions could be made toward concept mapping studies and math teaching.
