| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 應用數學系碩士在職專班 === 107 === This study mainly was to investigated the impact of integrating GSP software into fifth graders’ area concepts and how it influences students’ learning achievement and motivation. The study was chiefly focused on quantitative design and supplemented by qualitative interview. Two classes of fifth graders in two different primary schools at rural areas in Tainan, one has 10 students as experimental group and the other has 19 students as control group, were chosen as research objects. The area concepts of the ninth volume math textbook published by Kang Shuan was used as teaching materials. The research lasted for eight classes and the GSP software was integrated into the experimental group while the conventional teaching approach was applied to the control group. After the experimental instruction, learners of the two groups finished area achievement tests and the experimental group finished the scale of math learning motivation. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0.
The results were in the following:
1. The analysis of area achievement tests of the two groups after learning 5th graders’ area concepts showed that their best performance is on basic formula application and painting height and their weakest one is on area height or bottom.
2. There was no significant difference between students’ performance in the GSP software integrated class and those in the conventional teaching class.
3. There was no significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the experimental group’s learning motivation scale.
4. The experimental group holds highly positive affirmation toward integrating GSP software into learning area concepts, which arose their interests and understanding.
