| Summary: | 碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 資訊管理系碩士班 === 101 === In recent years, the application of information technology has become an important
part of life, especially the application in education has become an inevitable trend.
Teachers have to possess adequate information technology abilities to conform to the
modern teaching needs. And the network multimedia and digital platform which
combine texts, images, audio, video, animation, and sounds make the dissemination of
information easier and faster. This gradually makes the traditional paper-books invert into
digital multimedia files, and makes the ways of learning and leaning experiences more
diversified. Teachers enhance students’ learning motivations and interests and develop
students’ high-level thinking skills through network multimedia teaching. Moreover,
network multimedia teaching enhances students’ learning effectiveness.
The main purposes of this study are to understand the influence of the WebQuest
thematic teaching upon school children’s high-level thinking skills, learning effectiveness,
and learning behaviors. In order to reach the study purpose, this
study adopted the experimental design. The study objects include 53 sixth graders,
Wei-Sin Elementary School, Kaohsiung City. The teaching website was designed by the

The results showed that WebQuest thematic teaching could effectively promote
high-ability students’ learning motivations and satisfaction.
2. High-level thinking skills and learning effectiveness：

learning satisfaction and grades, their levels of thinking skills weren’t promoted.
WebQuest thematic teaching could efficiently promote high learning motivational
students’ leaning effect, but it couldn’t make their thinking levels higher.
