| Summary: | 博士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 科學教育研究所 === 102 === This study aimed to investigate the effect of teaching with multi graphic organizers and concept maps on the conceptual understanding, thinking skill, metacognition in science learning, and natural science learning attitude of fifth grade students. This was a quasi-experimental study involving fifth grade elementary students who were divided into three classes: multi graphic organizing, concept mapping, and traditional teaching, respectively. The three classes were taught by the same teacher over 15 periods. Research instruments included a conceptual understanding questionnaire, thinking skill questionnaire, metacognition in science learning scale, natural science learning attitude scale, and learning experience questionnaire.
Results showed significant differences between the conceptual understanding of the multi graphic organizing group, concept mapping group, and traditional teaching group which approached a high effect size. Comparison revealed the conceptual understanding of the multi graphic organizing group was better than that of the traditional teaching group. Significant differences were found between the thinking skill of the three groups with high effect sizes. Comparison also indicated that thinking skill for the multi graphic organizing group was higher than that for the concept mapping and traditional teaching groups. The metacognition in science learning of the three groups reached significant differences with medium effect sizes. Comparison showed that the metacognition in science learning of the multi graphic organizing group was better than that of the traditional learning group. Significant differences were found between the natural science learning attitude of the three groups approached a high effect size. Comparison showed that the natural science learning attitude of the multi graphic organizing group was better than that of the traditional learning group. The multi graphic organizing group of students and the concept mapping group of students feel about learning experiences to feel good
Lastly, this study used the research results and findings to provide suggestions for multi graphic organizing in education and future research.
