碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 自然科學教育學系碩士班 === 100 === Nowadays, since variety resources can be circulated speedily in teaching, the researcher integrate credible digital resources into the “Unit of Insects” teaching in the field of science and technology in order to solve bottlenecks encountered in the science teaching. This research intends to find which teaching method is more constructive on students’ learning and attitude. This study is conducted by quasi-experimental research and designing targets were the fourth graders of four classes one in elementary school in Taipei. Two classes were designed to use digital archives teaching materials and the other two classes were designed to use general standard teaching materials. The whole teaching process lasted 14 sections in 5 weeks. After the completion of the course, the students were given Achievement Test on Learning Insects and Measurement of Interest and Attitude on Learning Insects as research tools. ANCOVA is used to analyze the data from the two groups. The results indicated that the two groups had a significant difference in Achievement Test on Learning Insects. But, the was no significant difference in the Measurement of Interest and Attitude on Learning Insect. That is, digital archives teaching materials can be used to improve students science cognition through text and pictures in the science teaching. Moreover, digital archives teaching can promote teacher’s teaching capabilities. Therefore, the study suggests that digital archives offer useful teaching information to guide students to have meaningful learning activities.
