The reports of PIRLS 2006,which is administered by the International Educational Assessment (IEA) show that Taiwanese students perform better in making straightforward inferences than in interpreting and integrating ideas and information. It suggests that students are only capable of literal reading but not cohesive reading. This study investigates the effect of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) on reading comprehension in junior high school students. 598 students in 8th grade participated the experiment proposed by this thesis. The students were divided into an experiment group and a control group. Both groups read 24 articles in liberal arts during the summer break, followed by a reading comprehension test. The experiment group then participated in CSCL via the Group Scribble package whereas the control group read another 6 articles. A second reading comprehension test was then administered for both groups to compare the results of the two learning approaches. The test results were converted into T-scores for comparison. The results show that the experiment group shows a significant difference in the two test results, which suggests that collaborative learning with the GS package enhances students’ reading comprehension. According to the curriculum questionnaires, students in the experiment group are satisfied with such an approach, of which 93.94% are willing to learn other subjects with the same approach. Such results show that students are receptive to the computed-supported instruction strategy.
