碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業教育研究所 === 88 === The society of the new age is the age that computer technology is very popular. Computer technology application has a close relationship with our life, work, learning and so on. The internet is the important tool of information media in the society of the future. All information which is transferred by used media, including words, pictures, sounds, and videos, can be transferred by internet in case of being put on the computer. And the emergence of worldwide internet even enriches the teaching media, and enlarges the variety and possibility of media application. Because there are a lot of technology resources on internet, with the characteristic of being living, immediate, photographic and multi-media, under the support of the national policy and economy, the internet should be applied in teaching more widely and will be more elastic and various in function. New teaching technology must correspond to the new teaching methods. Technology is a subject which emphasized practice. This research will exert living internet resources into technology teaching, and make an initial study in the ways in which internet resources can be applied in technology teaching in junior high school as well as the possibility, and the learning achievements of students. This research is planned to understand the contents of the activities between the technology curriculum and internet-corporative learning, as well as to discuss the learning theories and teaching methods about internet resources applied in technology teaching in junior high school. Furthermore, taking the unit of “Transportation System”, “Transportation and Life’, and “the Progress of Transportation Technology” in Book Three of the technology textbook for example, this research collects the internet resources, and divided the applied ways into two parts: the collection of teaching materials and the design of teaching activities, with giving some examples of how to practice them in the teaching of technology in junior high school so as to make the homepages of technology teaching materials afterwards. In this way, internet resources can be fully applied in the contents of the made homepages as a basis on practicing the experiments of technology homepage teaching. For the teaching experiments, the experimental objects are five classes of the third-grade students in Syn-Yuh Junior High School in Taichung City, and the methods of nonequivalent group pretest 一posttest experimental studies are used. The results are as follows: 1. About the learning progress if students：the results of former tests reveal that there is no obvious difference between the two groups, meaning that the basic abilities are the same between the students of the two groups. By the common-variable analysis of later tests, after the teaching experiments, different teaching ways一traditional speaking teaching and homepage teaching 一make students of two groups different obviously. Accordingly, homepage applied teaching does improve the learning achievements of students and carries out the teaching goals furthermore. Especially for some students of low achievements, internet resources can provide various access to get knowledge for them. As for the technology teaching in junior high school, applying the internet resources and homepages is a new way to teach and there should be more development and improvement in the future. 2. About the analysis of tests: The analysis mainly compares the experimental group with the controlled group in the answering results of the test difficulty index, the discrimination index and the choice analysis. On the whole, there is little difference in the answering results of the two groups. The students from the experimental group does better in thinking questions, and it shows that internet resources may help students understand the contents of curriculum better. Most students affirm the advantages of applying internet resources technology teaching in junior high school. They think this teaching way is helpful for their learning, and is able to increase their interest in learning technology. For students, the internet resources are not only novel and attractive, but also convenient to look for information; they not only expands the ways students get information by, but also the methods students obtain knowledge by . Besides, applying the internet resources in technology teaching should be able to increase the learning achievements of students, improve the teaching effects, and reach the teaching goals.
