Summary: | 碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 教育研究所 === 97 === The objective of this study was aimed at integrating Information Technology into the fifth-grader elementary school curriculum to raise students’ environment literacy.
43 fifth grade students of the Taichung County were engaged in a Quasi-Experimental Design. These students were divided evenly into two groups; while the experimental group (n=22) adopted the situated instruction; the control group (n=21) was educated under the traditional instruction. This will be examined through the span of 16 classes. The methods of this study included measuring students’ environment literacy, achievement test of environmental issues, and survey of students’ attitudes towards learning environment. A pre-test involving the first two methods were carried out before the third method. After two months of experimental procedures, the results are as follows:
1. There was no any significant difference in their improvement of environment literacy between experiential group and control group.
2. Students of the experimental group made more significant improvement in learning effectiveness of environment issues than those of the control group.
3. As for students’ attitudes towards learning environment, in comparison with control group, students of the experimental group had better scores in TS, IN, TV, CO, E , RR, SMK, KSU and AS subscales.
