Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 自然科學教育學系碩士班 === 100 === As the information technology is booming, computer network has changed the learning mode of human, and digital learning has become a new trend. The digital archive resources developed by National Science Council encourage teachers to integrate them into teaching. Therefore, this study aimed at discussing the effectiveness of integrating digital archives into insect teaching in grade fourth. It was hoped that through integrating digital archive resources into pedagogy, the teacher’s teaching process could be improved, and the science cognition and science attitudes of students can also be fostered.
The research adapted the quasi-experimental research, and the participants were six classes of students from grade 4 in an elementary school of Xin-Yi District, Taipei. Three classes designed as experimental group are implemented by insect digital archive resources integrating into insect teaching, and another three classes are comparative groups implemented by ordinary teaching . Both of the groups are completed 18 classes of teaching activities. The research tools included Insect Cognition Test and Insect Science Attitudes Test”. The results were analyzed through Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) , to understand the influence of students’ cognition and science attitudes through the insect digital archive resources integrating into insect teaching.
There is a significant difference in the Insect Cognition Test , and three items which are observing animals, characterizing insect body, and eating habits of insect in the Test constitute the significance. But there is no significant difference in the Insect Science Attitudes Test.
Therefore, digital archive resources are suitable to be integrated into insect teaching and to promote students science cognition in their science learning.
