碩士 === 明道大學 === 課程與教學研究所 === 102 === The purpose of this research was to analyze the different academic achievements in Chinese learning of the 9th grade students among different genders and different learning abilities when integrating multimedia into instruction. Quasi experimental design and nonequivalent pretest-posttest design had been adopted in this study. The students were divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. Multimedia was integrated into instruction in the experimental group. PowerPoint was the primary media in the curriculum, and characters, pictures, videos, and animations were integrated in Chinese instruction. In the control group, it remained the traditional lecture. The research had been conducted in 42 classes for 7 weeks. Before the instruction, the scores of final-exam in the first semester were implemented as a pretest; after the instruction, the scores of the first-test in the second semester were implemented as a posttest. For analysis, the variable, instruction, was the single factor in one-way ANCOVA to see if there was difference between two groups. A two-way ANCOVA had been performed based on two variables: instruction and student learning abilities by using students’ test scores as the outcome variable to analyze. Finally, a one-way ANCOVA had been performed to determine if there were differences between genders. The conclusions of this study are: 1. Integrating multimedia into instruction has no significant influence to students’ Chinese learning achievement. 2. There is significant difference of integrating multimedia into instruction between students with different learning abilities. 3. There is no significant difference between genders when integrating multimedia into instruction. Together, this research provides insight of integrating multimedia into Chinese instruction and can be applied to future research.
