Description
Summary:碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 科學教育研究所 === 95 === The main purpose of the study was to investigate the learning effect, learning attitude and the metacognition performance by using the CBCM (Computer Based Concept Mapping) Software for science and technology learning in primary school. This study adopted the quasi-experimental design , ”nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design ”, employed samples from four sixth grade classes in a elementary school in Taipei who were divided into experiment group(n=47)and control group(n=47). The research instruments included: the science learning achievement test, the science attitudinal scale, the metacognition scale and the CBCM software evaluation inventory. The collected data were analyzed by using the following statistical methods:descriptive statistic and analysis of covariance(ANCOVA). The results of the research are shown as follows: 1. The experiment group gets higher scores than the control group in the science learning achievement test (i.e. the subjects of ecological conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development.), and there is statistically significant difference between these two groups. Besides, there is no significant difference between different gender. 2. The experiment group gets higher grades than the control group in the science attitudinal scale (i.e. the subjects of the learning interest about science and the value belief about science), and there is statistical significant difference between these two groups. Besides, there is no statistical significant difference between different gender. 3. The experiment group gets higher grades than the control group in the metacognition scale (i.e. the subjects of monitoring activities and regulation activities), and there is statistical significant difference between two groups and different gender, and the boys gets higher grades than the girls. 4. Most of the students take positive attitude for leaning by using CBCM software.
