碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 工業教育學系 === 98 === Project-Oriented and Problem-Based Learning is an innovative teaching method in some industrialized countries, but it does not have any research related to this project in Taiwan. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and satisfaction of “Wheeled Robot Design and Communication” with Project Oriented and Problem Based Learning (POPBL) strategy. The experiment was implemented using single-group experimental designs with twenty five students divided into nine small groups for POPBL instruction. Among the whole 15 weeks of experimental instruction, six weeks were used for studying robot system and circuit, the pretest and posttest were used to every student in each class time. One week was allotted for engineer demonstration. Then four weeks were used for robot design and three weeks for competition. Finally, the satisfaction questionnaire survey was conducted. The effectiveness of POPBL instruction was found as the following after statistic analysis: 1. POPBL instruction for robot learning can enhance students’ achievement. 2. Learners are highly satisfied with POPBL robot teaching. 3. The competition method of technological instruction can strengthen student motivation of learning and skill level.
