| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 理學院科技與數位學習學程 === 102 === The purposes of this study were to explore if there were significant influences on the 8th grade students’ learning attitudes and learning achievement when teachers used the cooperative learning method. It also explored if there were different influences on students' different achievements and genders.
This study adopted a quasi-experiment study and chose the 8th grade students in Taoyuan County as our researching samples. The researcher chose two classes from his teaching classes. One of them was the experimental group, and the other was the control group. The experimental group, 15 boys and 15 girls, adopted the cooperative learning method; the control group, 14 boys and 14 girls,adopted the traditional one.
It took 5 weeks to do this experiment. After the experiment, I analyzed and compared the experimental data. The main conclusions of this study were as follow:
1. Aspects of learning attitudes in math
(1)For the whole group and medium achievers adopting cooperative learning method, their learning attitudes were obviously better than those adopting the traditional one. But there were no influences for high achivers.
(2)Students’ learning attitudes in the cooperative learning method became better, especially for the medium achievers.
2. Aspects of learning achievement in math
(1)High, low achievers and girl students in the experimental group performed better than those in the control group, but there were no significant differences.
(2)High, low achievers and boy students in the experimental group had better achievement retention than those in the control group, but there were no significant differences.
(3)All students in the experimental group performed better in the delay test than in the posttest, and there were significant differences.
Based on the conclusions, some suggestions were offered for teaching and the further researching directions.
