| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 自然科學教育學系碩士班 === 99 === The purposes of this study was to develop an problem solving based educational game with cooperative learning model and to evaluate its effectiveness on elementary students’ cooperative learning ability and learning achievement.
The study used a pre-, posttest quasi-experimental research design. The research methods in this study included quantitative research as well as qualitative research. Ninety-four students in the fifth grade participated in this study. The experimental group was taught through the problem solving based educational game with cooperative learning model. The control group received the problem solving based educational game without cooperative learning model. Two groups learned with the computer educational game for four weeks, in a total of eight classes. The instruments used in this study were "the cooperative learning ability scale” and “the test of learning achievement.”
Quantitative data collected were analyzed with factor analysis, covariance (ANCOVA) and Pearson correlation. Qualitative data were also collected by semi-structured interview to understand factors which influenced the students’ cooperative learning ability and learning achievement. The results of this study included:
1. Students in the experimental group, taught through the problem solving based educational game with cooperative learning model, show significant higher cooperative learning ability improvement than that in control group.
2. Students in the experimental group, taught through the problem solving based educational game with cooperative learning model, show significant higher learning achievement than that in control group..
3. There was no significant correlation between students’ cooperative learning ability and learning achievement.
