Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 數位學習設計與管理學系研究所 === 99 === This study aimed to incorporate scientific writing approach with blog in wireless sensor environment to support weather inquiry-based activities. The Taipei Weather Learning Network (TWIN), the real inquiry environment of the study, facilitated elementary and junior high students’ study of weather science. A few previous studies had been applied on the TWIN platform. The studies indicated the students could perform well in the questioning phase, the planning phase and the analyzing phase but not as well in the interpreting phase. For enhancing the interpreting phase of the weather-science inquires, a science writing approach was applied. In order to explore the effects of science writing approach, two science classes were used as control group and the experimental group both engaged weather-science inquires. The control group reviewed weather knowledge and experimental group used Science Writing Heuristic approach with blog before the inquiry-based activities. The results indicated science writing with blog could promote students’ quantity of writing. However, there was no significant difference between inquiry achievements of two groups. The analysis indicated students might not have sufficient inquiry ability and they didn’t have enough time to focus on science writing actives.
