| Summary: | 博士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 102 === In this dissertation, on the basis of Mayer’s (2001) cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML), the author develops a multimedia assisted learning environment in the classroom. This environment, integrated with interactive whiteboard (IWB), includes two systems. First is a multimodal presentation system to present multimedia instruction¬¬¬¬al materials and manage interactive learning activities. Second is a multi-touch interactive jigsaw puzzle to assist students in the learning of geographical concepts. Experimental studies are conducted to verify the practical validity of the multimedia assisted learning environment, that is, stimulating student learning performance, satisfaction and motivation in the classroom setting.
There are 3 research issues in this dissertation and the participants are primary school and college students. The first study explores the effectiveness of IWB multimodal presentation system in English vocabulary learning through storytelling and PowerPoint presentation teaching method. The second study explores the effectiveness of a multi-touch interactive jigsaw puzzle in the learning of geographical concepts. Both studies reveal statistically significant differences between the two groups on measures of learning performance and satisfaction. The third study explores the effectiveness of multimodal presentation system in English learning. The results reveal that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups on measures of 4 constructs (intrinsic goal orientation, task value, self-efficacy for learning and performance, test anxiety) of learning motivation.
This dissertation collects both quantitative and qualitative data to verify the practical validity of the multimedia assisted learning environment and make recommendations. It is hoped that the designed frameworks and research questions of the study will provide a basic guide for future researches on technology-mediated learning.
