碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 藝術與設計學系 === 100 === Thanks to the rapid development of information technology, the educational environment displays an multiple innovation. Nevertheless, innovation derives heavy work pressure for information technology teachers in elementary schools which would in turn of affect teaching. For example, in addition to class teaching, everything relating to internet management, computer seminar activities, update, maintenance of software, hardware and webpage construction are part of the information technology teachers’ heavy workload. In view of this, in order to reduce work load in management and maintenance of computer classroom for teachers, this study plans and establishes diskless system to manage the equipments in PC classroom in Ming Yih Primary School, Hualien County. Moreover, observation and interview are applied and used as reference to modify relative issues to meet the teacher’s demands in terms of computer teaching. After statistically analyzing the data obtained from the questionnaire, it is found that (1) In terms of the questions under “Perceived ease of use,” most informational teachers of Ming Yih Primary School recognize the operational interface of the VHD diskless system as easy to learn and use and is satisfactory of humanized operation. (2) In terms of the questions under “Perceived usefulness,” most of the teachers agree that simplifying the computer equipment in PC classroom to diskless environment and through booting to reverting the issues of virus infection and informational security at client will be solved. (3) In terms of the questions under “Attitude toward Using,” teachers are satisfied with using diskless system in the management of PC classroom. (4) Diskless system used for managing PC equipments in PC classroom has significantly positive effect on “usage satisfaction” of informational teachers and relative personnel with different “professional background” in Ming Yih Primary School. (5) Diskless system used for managing PC equipments in PC classroom has significantly positive effect on “usage satisfaction” (only for the aspect of perceived usefulness) of informational teachers and relative personnel with differential “experience as informational teachers” in Ming Yih Primary School. It is hoped that the research results can be effectively solve the barriers and difficulties encountered by information technology teachers in the elementary schools in Hualien County and that their workload could be reduced and enhance the stability and security of the PC classroom system can be improved.
