| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 技術及職業教育研究所 === 101 === The aim of this action research was to explore the implementation of the PhET interactive simulation into junior high school life technology course teaching series connection and parallel circuit, and to investigate the problems and resolutions of implementation, as well as its effects on students’ learning achievement. The PhET stimulation module was developed and the teaching activities were introduced via by topics while students learn in groups. The findings are as follows:
First, in terms of principles of curriculum design, the curriculum may be implemented involving the following steps: 1) provide students with a 3-5 minutes video to download and review assigned topics. 2) Students then observe the teacher’s demonstration of PhET interactive simulation for 10 minutes. 3) Students practice with hands-on activities using PhET interactive simulation software for 25 minutes. Second, concerning problems encountered teaching PhET, the difficulty of implementing PhET was curriculum design, computer hardware, and classroom management issues. Third, in terms of its effects on students’ learning achievements, through this action research, students’ motivation and familiarity with the serial and parallel circuits were enhanced.
