碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 94 === The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that could influence the performance of technical skills through the computer simulation constructed by this study. The result of this study can be used as a reference for providing proper skill training in vocational schools. A literature review was conducted to help the researcher identifying the processes of constructing the computer simulation system. Two classes of 79 industrial vocational high school students, from 16 to 17 years old, were invited to participate this study. Group Embedded Figures Test, Spatial ability test, Williams’ Creativity Assessment Packet test, and computer literacy test were given to those students before they get to learn in the computer simulation programs. The tests scores were used to analyze student’s congenital abilities that influence the performance of skill simulation and hands-on activities. After the data collection and analysis, the results of this study include: 1.The performance of computer simulation was influenced directly by students’ computer literacy. 2.Students’ cognitive style and spatial ability can indirectly influence their skill performance through computer simulation. 3.Students’ skill performance was directly influenced by their spatial abilities and computer simulation. 4.Skill performance can be influenced indirectly by student’s computer literacy through the computer simulation. 5.Skill performance was influenced by students’ cognitive style through spatial ability. 6.It was found that students’ creativity would not influence their performance in computer simulation and hands-on skill.
