Summary:碩士 === 臺北市立教育大學 === 數位學習碩士學位學程 === 101 === This study aims to explore the influence and feasible method of applying digital learning to assist future citizen making rational decision on open issues. Forty-six sophomores in high school were chosen to take part in the one group single-factor pretest-posttest design about Nuclear Controversies. The research tool designed with 3 elements:(1)WebQuest Framework to explore information on internet. (2)A simulation game is to relieve the seriousness of the controversy. (3) Rational logic analysis to test the final decision. The quasi-experiment employed a webapp embedded into the social website for convenient communication and interactive feedback. The quantity of information cited and final decision made by students was recorded as experimental data. The results in this study are shown below: (1) Eighty-four percentage of the subjects without stand made a clear decision after quasi-experiment. (2) Nuclear power stand is significantly related to the shift of stand. (3) The final decision is significantly related to the cited information, but independent of nuclear power stand. (4) Seventy-six percentage of the subjects' final decision met rational logic. (5) Fifty-four percentage of the subjects agreed that game element design in this study is helpful to consider Nuclear controversy.
