碩士 === 淡江大學 === 教育科技學系 === 88 === The purpose of this study was to develop a web-based courseware for third grade sciences curriculum. This software was created according to the new interdisciplinary curriculum guide. With the idea of story game design, it incorporated theory of motivation, problem-solving, and situated learning for high level of learner involvement. Development processes were also discussed in detail. The development process of this study was based on Instructional System Design stages that included analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The finish product of this study is a web-based multimedia science courseware with thirteen learning units. The results of this study revealed that the web-based courseware is motivating for the third grader teacher and students. Most students enjoyed exercising in the game environment but had problem with the structure of the courseware and user interface design. Specific suggestions for content expert, programmer, and art designer for web-based sciences courseware were also included.
