| Summary: | 碩士 === 環球科技大學 === 觀光與生態旅遊系環境資源管理碩士班 === 107 === Education system in Taiwan is moving towards autonomous learning mode. Many schools have begun to value and develop informal courses that were once deliberately neglected. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of 69 teachers and 702 students on this subject at Mailiao High School, located in the rural area of Yunlin County. We aimed to explore students’ learning effectiveness through statistical methods and the importance-performance analysis. The results showed that female students performed significantly better than their male counterparts in the three aspects: "enhancing self-understanding and confidence", "strengthening motivation and ability of self-directed learning" and "establishment of social identity"; students with more pocket money gained significantly higher score in “establishment of social identity”; and the top five differences between teachers’ expectations and students’ performance were “featured courses improves self-confidence”, “featured courses enhances action”, "featured courses cultivates creativity", " I can complete team tasks when participating in featured courses", and "featured courses encourages self-learning." We suggested that urban schools could be included in further studies for comparative analysis, and the awaited results should be served as a reference for curriculum revision.
