Summary:碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 教育經營與管理研究所碩士班 === 101 === With the great advances in information communication technology (ICT), mobile communication devices such as smart phones, wireless local area networks (WLAN), and other wireless communication systems have become increasingly popular around the world. Based on this ICT progress, the majority of Taiwan schools at all levels have developed wireless networks around campuses and have created a ubiquitous learning (U-Learning) environment.Using information and communication technology to support and enhance students’ learning experience has been common practice in the classroom. By the using of mobile carriers and wireless communication devices on the marine education, we breaking the space limit, learning resources of marine knowledge can be accessed and acquired more efficiently through various contexts in the form of words, sound and images in order to stimulate students'' interest and to enhance the effectiveness in learning. Students can be totally immersed in the learning process and therefore to improve their enviornment literacy. In this study, a mobile learning system with the embedding of information technology into environmental education is designed, and the U-Learning technology is expected to facilitate students’ learning in the diversified environment education domain. Also the Q-R Code information system and Living Map are linked together to give the advantage of action learning for environment education. To evaluate the value of this pioneer system, TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) is exercised to discover the factors that influence teachers’ desires when using the system. The research results are as follows: 1.The higher grade students’ capabilities of using the information systems is determined by their backgrounds, including computer at home or not, networks at home or not, the experience of using the Tablet PC and the time of using the Tablet PC. 2.The higher grade students’ perceptions of the system’s usability and usefulness are affected by three variables: including computer at home or not, networks at home or not and the time of using the Tablet PC. 3.TAM analysis indicated that correlations of all one-on-one analyses on the variables are relatively significant. First, the correlation coefficient between the usability of Q-R Code information system and the usefulness of the system is up to 0.77, indicating when students highly perceive the usability of the system, they tend to have more positive views on the usefulness of the system. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient between the usefulness of Q-R Code information system and the desire of using the system is up to 0.68, indicating when students highly perceive the usefulness of the Q-R Code information system, they tend to have more positive desires on using the system. In summary, students with great satisfactions on the use of Q-R Code information system will increase their use of the system, indicating the practicality of Q-R Code Living Map Information System on environmental education is significant.
