Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 教育資料科學學系 === 82 === This study intends to explore the effects of computer simulations on business education. Two modes of computerized lessons are developed for this purpose. One is a simulation; the other is a textbook-form lesson. The effects of these two lessons are compared in terms of the learner''s performance in decision making and knowledge retrival. This study has the following findings: 1.There is no significant difference between the experiment group and the control group in terms of their decision- making skills performance. 2.There is no significant difference between the experiment group and the control group in terms of their knowledge retrival performance. 3.The experiment group think that the computer simulation is highly challenging and motivating. Based on the above findings, recommendations are provided regarding the designs and operations of computer simulations, the instruments used to evaluate the learning effects, and some issues that need to be addressed in further research.
