Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a set of ‘mind map teaching program’ and to explore the effectiveness of the ‘mind map teaching program’ on science and living technology studies attitude and achievement for sixth grade students. An experiment with nonequivalent groups pretest-posttest design was conducted. There are 92 sixth grade students that are divided into experimental and controlled groups. The experimental group received ‘mind map teaching program’ and controlled group received general teaching program.
The collected data were analyzed by the one-way ANCOVA, and use group as the independent variable, the score of ‘Reading Comprehension Test on Science Text Form B’ and the posttest score of ‘Attitude Toward Science Inventory’ as the dependent variables, the score of ‘Reading Comprehension Test on Science Text Form A’ and the pretest score of ‘Attitude Toward Science Inventory’ as covariate.
The results of the study were as followings:
1. On the attitude toward science, the ‘mind map teaching program’ raises students’ beliefs, but doesn’t raise students’ interest and confidence.
2. On the science achievement, the ‘mind map teaching program’ enhances both students’ performance on memory and comprehension problems.
3. More than 80% of students in experimental group think oneself has already learned five among the most important six skills in the mind mapping.
The result of the research referred to that mind map teaching program improves students’ learning on science and living technology studies. Finally, some suggestions were made to the teaching and research in the future.
Key Words: mind map, attitude toward science and living technology studies, achievement of science and living technology studies
