| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北護理健康大學 === 運動保健研究所 === 103 === Objective: This study was to explore the effect of orientation-survival experience courses on the national defense cognition of the senior-high school students. Methods: The orientation-survival experience courses were designed based on a “situational learning teaching model” and the “attribution theory” (Weiner, 1982). The national defense cognition questionnaire was also developed. One hundred and twenty senior high school first-grade students participated in the current study. They were randomly and evenly divided into the experimental group (with the orientation-survival experience courses) and the control group (without the courses). The researcher-designed questionnaire was develop based on five aspects, including national identity, national defense education effectiveness, military weapons knowledge, national defense capability, and service-in-army inclination. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were successfully tested by the Cronbach's α and the exploratory factory analysis (EFA), respectively. While the dependent sample t-test was used to test the difference between the pre- and post-measurements, the independent sample t-test was used to investigate the effect of orientation-survival experience courses on the national defense cognition. Results: 1) In the experimental group, the post measures of the national defense cognition and its five aspects were significantly higher than the pre measures; the improvement for the control group was only found in the aspects of national defense education effectiveness and military weapons knowledge. 2) The national defense cognition of the experimental group was positively correlated with its five aspects. And 3) the positive correlations were also found in the control group except for the non-significant relationship shown among the national identity to the military weapons knowledge and service-in-army inclination, and between the military weapons knowledge and national defense capability. Conclusion: The orientation-survival experience courses can enhance the national defense cognition, in which the results could benefit the national defense education in the future.
