碩士 === 大葉大學 === 資訊管理學系碩士在職專班 === 94 === The research is in collaboration with Ministry of Economics Affairs to focus on the plan---Digital Taichung Wireless broadband network city of “Wireless broadband network for demonstrative application scheme” to guide elementary school students to search and to record material learning by applying mobile learning auxiliary –PDA; and to set up an -ST-Moblog (Science and Technology Mobile Blog) for students to record learning experiences at any time. And also to proceed simultaneous interaction of ecological knowledge recording,sharing and accumulation by learning of natural ecological exploration with collaborative network learning and action learning. Thus,the purposes of this research are: (1) Discussion for teaching progress by adopting ST-Moblog, (2) Discussion for the encountered difficulties and the way out during teaching progress, (3) Discussion for students’ learning performances by applying ST-Moblog. (4) Understanding of the affect to students upon using ST-Moblog . This research runs teaching experiment for two months, mainly concentrating on purpose of research, and assisting by quantification analysis. Using qualitative research tools such as ST-Moblog and teaching activity designed for magical mealworms,and to collect diverse data during experimental teaching process. For example:retrospective journals and records from teacher’s blog,diaries and records from students’ blog,questionnaires,interview records,live recording of observation data…etc. so as to proceed multi-verification of the data,through cross comparison,generalization and analysis. Quantification tools are Tenebrio molitor (mealworms) knowledge questionnaire,mealworms recognition questionnaire and mobile technology capability checklist. Put the above-mentioned elements to the test about its outcome and to undertake the quantification analysis. The outcome of this research provides the following four conclusions: a. The application of ST-Moblog teaching design conforms to perspective of collaborative network which enables teachers to manage teaching website and to provoke students to learn more enthusiastically and positively. b. Teacher who adopts ST-Moblog to apply collaborative action learning can build up effective teaching strategy and to overcome difficulties of teaching. c. Students who use ST-Moblog to learn magical mealworms are inclined to enhance learning about mealworms’ knowledge and capability of mobile technology learning. d. Moblog’s visual design is apt to be used for PDA browsing. Students can also utilize ST-Moblog to carry out theme probe,and which is also helpful for building up the action learning pattern.
