碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 網路學習科技研究所 === 93 === Fraction learning is a challenging learning task for elementary students. Among mathematical course units, fraction unit is often considered the most complex numbers in elementary school mathematics. There is a great deal of agreement that learning fractions remains a serious obstacle in the mathematical development of children. In this study we try to design and construct a classwide computer supported Reciprocal Peer Tutoring （csRPT） learning environment for fraction learning. The csRPT system is building on 1To1 digital classroom environment and provides synchronous interaction and instant feedback functions for students and teachers. And also csRPT like the traditional ClassWide Peer Tutoring, which is a collaborative learning strategy. csRPT supports a dyad to perform a form of collaborative learning, called reciprocal tutoring. Enhances student motivation through game-like format, role-play and role-change. csRPT also supports teachers to monitor students’ learning states and reduce time for the teachers to do tedious logistic work.
