| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 工業教育與技術學系 === 98 === The purpose of the research was to investigate the effects of cooperative learning approach on vocational high school students’ learning achievement and learning interest in learning programming language. The research was an unequal teams of pre-and-post measuring experiment design. The experimental targets were students from electronics department in one of the vocational high schools in Taichung County in the Spring semester of 2008. The control group and experimental group were given conventional lecture approach and cooperative learning approach respectively. The experiment lasted for eight weeks.
The instruments of research included "achievement pretest in programming language", "achievement posttest in programming language", "achievement posttest of hands-on skills in programming language", " learning interest questionnaire". The analysis was based on independent sample t-test, homogeneity of variance test, K-S test (Kolmogorov- Smirnov Test), and One-way ANCOVA.
The major findings of the research were as follows:
1. There was no significant differences in posttest overall "performance of knowledge in programming language" between the experimental group and the control group.
2. There was no significant differences in posttest overall "performance of hands-on skills in programming language" between the experimental group and the control group.
3. There was no significant differences in posttest overall "learning interest in programming language" between the experimental group and the control group.
