The purpose of this study was to explore both the effects
of learning WWW and the computer attitudes for elementary
school students. Both pretest and posttest were conducted
in this study. 153 subjects were selected from fifth and
sixth grade in Sir-Ko elementary school at Taichung County.
The Computer Attitude Scale(CAS) was a pretest that
administered before the WWW instruction, then the same CAS
posttest was administered after the WWW instruction. The
author served as a teacher and continuously conducted a WWW
instruction for 8 weeks. A WWW Learning Achievement Scale
(LAS) was used to assess the students'''' learning achievement
after the WWW instruction.
Eleven results of this study were in the following:
1. Students had good performance on both operating browser
and searching data.
2. Students had bad performance on both gathering data and
arranging data.
3. Sixth grade students had higher achievement of learning
WWW than fifth grade students.
4. No significant difference found:(1)between boys and girls,
and (2) between high computer attitude and low computer
attitude regarding the achievement of learning WWW.
5. Students who had high computer attitude demonstrated more
favorable computer attitudes before the WWW instruction
than those had low computer attitude.
6. No significant difference found:(1)between fifth grade
and sixth grade, and (2)between boys and girls regarding
the computer attitudes before the WWW instruction.
7. Female students demonstrated more favorable computer
attitudes after the WWW instruction than male students.
8. No significant difference found:(1)between fifth grade
and sixth grade, and (2)between high computer attitude
and low computer attitude regarding the computer attitudes
after the WWW instruction.
9. No significant effect found among all students, fifth and
sixth grade students, and male students.
10.Female students and students of low computer attitude
demonstrated more favorable computer attitudes after the
WWW instruction.
11.Students of high computer attitude demonstrated less
favorable computer attitudes after the WWW instruction.
Recommendations for this study were to consider students''''
differences among gender, grade, and computer attitudes on
learning WWW. Recommendations for the future research were
to replicate the study with a different population, and clarify
relationships between students'''' achievement of learning WWW and
other related variables.
