碩士 === 萬能科技大學 === 資訊管理研究所在職專班 === 102 === This study aims to investigate the feasible strategy on vocabulary practicing as well as the learning effects on "Mandarin character", "Phonetic", "Radical", "Phrase-making" for underachieved second graders by employing computer-assisted learning。 This study is executed by way of action research and targets on the underachieved graders from the class of which the investigator is in charge. The underachieved graders are those whose midterm and final exam scores are under average. A learning project for a period of eight weeks is designed and carried out during every Tuesday and Friday morning study hall time. Before and after the introduction of computer-assisted learning, tests are conducted to evaluate the result. Data collection in this study is conducted through observing, interviewing, and document gathering, etc. Triangulation approach is used to analyze the collected data. Conclusions are summarized below: 1. Prior to the implementation of computer-assisted learning for second graders, it is desirable to guide the students with elementary computer courses, in conjunction with multi-sensory stimulation as well as appropriate interaction and feedback, to facilitate the effects of learning. 2. Computer-assisted learning does improve the learning effects about "Mandarin character", "Phonetic", "Radical" and "Phrase-making" for underachieved graders, in which the greatest progress is obtained on "Mandarin character" learning. 3. Computer-assisted learning does improve the learning concentration of underachieved students, whose interest in learning is also enhanced. Based on the above conclusions, related opinions are provided as a reference for future practitioners.
