The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of students' mathematics performances and learning satisfactions with the application of STAD. The study was based on a quasi-experimental design. Two eighth-grade classes from the same junior high school in Taichung city were selected as the experimental group(34 students) and the control group(32 students). The students from the experimental group were taught by STAD and those from the control group by didactic instruction method. The time period lasted for seven weeks. The research instrument was included the students' three scores for the first semester and their satisfaction survey on mathematics learning. The collected data were analyzed by using Independent Samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, one-way ANCOVA and Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient.
The summary of this study were list as follow:
1. Different teaching methods made no difference in students' mathematics learning performances.
2. Students' different backgrounds made no difference in their mathematics performances.
3. Students from the experimental group tended to be satisfied with their mathematics learning performances.
4. Students' different backgrounds made no difference in their learning satisfaction.
5. There was no correlation found between students' mathematics learning performances and their learning satisfactions.
Finally, based on the results, several suggestions could be made for mathematics teachers in terms of applying STAD to their teaching and related study.
