Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 資訊教育研究所 === 88 === This study investigated the effect of cognitive style and knowledge map learning activity on learners’ performance in a web-based learning environment. One hundred and forty-four high school students participated in this study and learned computer network knowledge through knowledge map construction and browsing activities. A factorial quiz-experimental research design was employed to investigate the relationships between the dependent variable and independent variables. The statistical procedure of two-way ANCOVA was used to analyze the collected data. In addition, questionnaires were conducted after the learning activity to collect information regarding participants’ feelings and attitudes toward the knowledge map learning activity in the web-based learning. The results showed that (1) knowledge map construction learning activities were effective both in facilitating the learning of factual and combination declarative knowledge of computer network; (2) cognitive styles influenced the learning of combination knowledge; (3) future study were suggested to investigate the interaction between cognitive style and type of learning activity in more detail; (4) learners were not just highly satisfied with knowledge construction and browsing activities, but also benefited from them. Furthermore, knowledge construction activity outperformed browsing activity in facilitating learning.
