碩士 === 國立高雄師範大學 === 工業科技教育學系 === 104 === This research is aimed to discuss the implementation effectiveness for the integration of PBL project-based learning into STEM activity and analyze the learning effectiveness and performance during learning process in this activity for students in higher vocational school. With the activity of “wind power generation” and “contest of maglev vehicle” as research tool and students in one higher vocational school in Kaohsiung as research subjects, the 8-week creative design was conducted. With STEM activity as principal axis in activity design, project-based learning was integrated as strategy, and the researcher assisted and monitored learning schedule as the role of teaching assistant. This research mainly adopted content analysis method to analyze students’ work and performance and applied questionnaire survey and interview to deeply understand learning feeling. In the end, this research drew the following conclusions: (1) STEM project learning for students in higher vocational school can integrate science, technology, engineering and mathematics; (2) hands-on practice is the important decision-making factor for the design of STEM; (3) the self-expression of STEM is significantly affected by the attitude towards STEM; (4) the course activity of STEM has a significant effect on the effectiveness of energy education.
