Abstract
With the fast-growing development of the information technology, this research aims to build websites, make discs , and manipulate long-distance visual materials to assist students in senior high schools to select and fill in their priority departments of the university. Simultaneously, all these are integrated with internet interactive tools, such as bulletin board, discussion area, e-mail, cyber calls, and other cyber visual aids, which enables the researcher to help students in the process of choosing their priority departments. This research adopts action research and the subjects are 12th graders who participated the college entrance examination in July at the researcher’s school. To explore the research more deeply (achieve the validity), this research utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods. Also, the sampling data are collected widely so as to present the complete and true contexts of selecting and filling in priority departments and to investigate the real effects of these websites. Other research methods are used, such as observation, interviews, questionnaires, and teaching diaries to achieve higher validity of this research.
The research is operated on the system of Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and IIS5.0 Web Server. Meanwhile, ASP and Java Script are adopted to widen the system functions. FrontPage 2002 is the main software for website and program code and the framework of the data base is built by using Access 2000. By offering these assistant websites, this research finds out firstly that providing faster and more convenient access to the information for students when they select and fill in their priority departments not only upgrades students’ interests to learn, but enhances the interaction between teachers and students; secondly due to the better efficiency, teachers have more time to talk to their students individually if compared with the utilization of the traditional ways. In addition, this research attempts firstly to find the operation models to seek appropriate teachers to help students select and fill in their priority departments through building and managing their own network consultation websites and secondly to provide students with a totally different way when selecting and filling in their priority departments so as to enhance the effects of their consultation. At last, with the increasing expansion of the relevant consultation websites, the researcher not only gets more career profession, but also by sharing information provides other consultants with more reference resources to help students when selecting and filling in their preference departments.
