| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 93 === This study aims to combine the benefits of math path and mobile learning. We try to make learners understand abstract mathematical concepts via math path learning. By using interactive problem solving discussion system in mobile learning environment, learners would be able to solve math problems in a group. Each student would use a tablet PC to take the advantage of mobile learning. They would build up meaningful foundation knowledge using situated, on-line interactivity and scaffolding aided learning environments. Through real time learning and discussion, learners clarify and refresh their thought by teaching each other. The purpose of this study is to build up the mobile math path system and evaluate the effects of students’ mathematics achievement by using the system.
In order to achieve the objective of this study, the research adopts relevant literatures, consults with systematic development approaches, and the quasi-experiment research results. First, relevant research papers on the topic of math path are reviewed in conjunction with the development in mobile learning, and then developments in the mathematics path teaching activities and teaching materials are considered and experimented. After the experiment, statistical methods are used for further analysis, which draws the following conclusions:
1. “The mobile math path problem solving discussion system” clearly improves the learning achievement for students of all levels of proficiencies in mathematics.
2. “Mobile math path problem solving discussion system” obviously improves students’ attitudes towards learning mathematics. Students use “Mobile math path problem solving discussion system” have more positive attitudes and dedicated engagements towards mathematical subjects than students taught by the outdoor and indoor math path courses.
3. “Mobile math path problem solving discussion system” deeply improves the top and the bottom thirds of students’ math link-ability to solve problems.
4. “Mobile math path problem solving discussion system” consistently demonstrates visible benefits to the students in improving their conceptual developments about math, the techniques of math transformation, the ability of problem solving, and the skills to evaluate and analyze mathematical ideas.
