| Summary: | 碩士 === 高苑科技大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 107 === This study applies the Plickers ,which is one of Interactive Response System(IRS), to mathematics learning of sixth graders in public elementary school to explore the impact of this system on the learning achievement, learning anxiety and learning attitude of the students in mathematics learning.
This study adopts the quasi-experimental research method to two classes of sixth graders in Kaohsiung City, with a total of 56 students. The cylindrical volume is used as the experimental course. The research method is mainly based on quantitative research, supplemented by qualitative interviews. One class with a total of 28 students was selected as the experimental group. The experimental group was tested with Plickers at the end of the course,meanwhile the control group was tested with a traditional paper and pencil test. In the end of teaching all data were collected and processed using Independent t test and Paired-Samples t Test in SPSS 22 to conduct quantitative analysis,and compare the experimental group with the control group. Before the experiment the learning achievements, learning anxiety and learning attitude to mathematics learning were analyzed by the interview with the experimental group students, researchers and the instructor, the reflection of the teaching in the middle and after the course. The qualitative research was used to explore the changes in the learning process and learning experience after using the Plickers.
The findings are as follows:
(1)The implementation of interactive Plickers integrated into mathematics teaching can improve the learning achievement of the elementary school students to solve the cylindrical volume problem.
(2)The implementation of interactive Plickers integrated into mathematics teaching on the elementary school students to solve the cylindrical volume problems in the learning attitude, can significantly improve students usefulness in mathematics and mathematics learning motivation.
(3)The implementation of interactive Plickers integrated into mathematics teaching for the the elementary school students to solve the cylindrical volume problems in the mathematics learning anxiety is slightly decreased.
(4)The interactive Plickers integrated into mathematics teaching helps the elementary school students learn.
The above conclusions can serve as a reference for teachers performing the mathematics teaching activities in the future.
