| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺南大學 === 教育經營與管理研究所 === 95 === The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of problem-based learning on natural science for elementary school students.
An experiment with pretest-postest nonequivalent-control-group design was conducted. The subject were 70 third grade students in 2 class drawn from an elementary school in Tainan. Thirty-five students in one class were assigned to the experimental group, and 35 students in the other class were to the control group. The experimental group received problem-based learning, while the control group received traditional teaching.
The main findings of this study were as follows:
1. There were no significant differences in achievement of natural science between the experimental group and the control group.
2. There were significant differences in motivation of learning to natural science between the experimental group and the control group.
3. There were significant differences in problem-solving test scores between the experimental group and the control group.
4. There were significant differences in performance test scores on natural science between the experimental group and the control group.
5. The experimental group students used a variety of strategies in problem-based learning process
6. Most of the experimental group students possessed a positive attitude toward problem-based learning.
