碩士 === 中原大學 === 教育研究所 === 103 === Abstract The study combined both cooperative learning and cognitive apprenticeship as a teaching program in math teaching. The study aimed to solve the problems that the researcher faced in practical teaching context to understand how these two teaching approaches affected students’ learning. The study adopted the action research approach. About 30 students participated in this study. The researcher designed the math lessons by using both cooperative learning and cognitive apprenticeship and executed the teaching program for a whole year. The researchers collected the datum by asking students to keep math learning diaries, observing students’ performances in class, reflecting teaching procedures, recording the teaching process during the class. Through the results of the study, the researcher knew how to combined cooperative learning and cognitive apprenticeship effectively and knew how to promote students’ learning effects by using this teaching program. Also, it helped to enhance teachers’ professional growths. Finally, based on the research findings, the researcher proposed some suggestions for the future studies of using cooperative learning and cognitive apprenticeship teaching program in math teaching.
