The study investigates the effects of insect playing table games designed on the basis of the Analysis-Design- Development- Implementation-Evaluation (ADDIE) model. It also explores the relationship among playfulness, flow experience, and science process skills while insect playing table games have been applied to elementary school students. With the mixed research methods of qualitative and quantitative research, this study took place in 26 elementary school service teachers who majored in Entomology curriculum of the Science Department, National Taipei University of Education and also 84 elementary students who are in fifth grade that have already learned about insect concepts and recognition from three schools in Taipei city by sampling. Insect Conception of Science Teachers Questionnaire was given to elementary service teachers as the pretest. The researcher conducted curriculum observation, took pictures of service teachers’ learning conditions on Entomology curriculum. The posttest was given to the same group of elementary service teachers to analyze their learning of insects concepts and recognition. In addition, the study evaluates the effects of the insects playing table games designed on the (ADDIE) model. Finally, the elementary service teachers reviewed the insects concepts and recognition and taught insect playing table games to target students to analyze the relationship among playfulness, flow experience, and science process skill. The conclusions of the research are summarized as follows: 1. Elementary service teachers obtained higher average scores from Insect Conception of Science Teachers Questionnaire as in the closed questions teachers fully supported the idea prior involvement in the curriculum helped them to achieve better teaching results. 2. Among the 7 different table games that were developed, 6 groups of games obtained AAA evaluation levels and only 1 group received AA evaluation level, showing insect playing table games can be used as a teaching aid of teaching insects to elementary students. Also, elementary service teachers have abilities of designing insect playing table games by following the ADDIE model. 3. After conducting the data from pretest and posttest data, the results of t-test shows significant difference among playfulness, flow experience, and science process skill after 7 groups of insect playing table games have applied to elementary school students. 4. After conducting the data of posttest from elementary school students experiencing 7 groups of insect playing table games, the result of Pearson’s correlation coefficient r=.705 (.60＜r＜.80), P=.000 (<.05) shows playfulness and flow experience have the strong relationship. In addition, the result from Multiple Regression Analysis (F=81.018, p=.000 <.01) indicates playfulness influences flow experience. When elementary school students have higher playfulness, their feeling toward flow experience is stronger. This study suggests elementary service teachers to attend the advanced course of Entomology to enhance their teaching knowledge of insects concepts and recognition. Learning the ADDIE model builds up elementary service teachers’ abilities of designing insect playing table games to enhance learning and understanding. For fourth grade elementary school students, they can try to apply insect playing table games after they have learned the unit of insects to increase the playfulness, flow experience and science process skill.
