Abstract

Taiwan is going to start 12-year compulsory education in 2014, so education strategies once again become an important issue for research and discussion. The current study used the web-based cooperative learning with Windows Live as a teaching strategy to teach Mathematics course in a junior high school in Taiwan. The subjects, 3 classes of first-year students, were divided into experimental group and control group based on the average scores of their previous tests. For 12 weeks, the experimental group received experimental instruction with Windows Live, while the control group was taught with traditional teaching method. Pre-test and post-test of learning achievement were conducted on both groups, and an additional questionnaire was answered by the experimental group. The data from this study, analyzed by ANCOVA, showed that the group receiving Windows Live web-based cooperative learning obtained significantly higher achievement than the group learning with traditional teaching method. The research result thus indicates that Windows Live web-based cooperative learning is an effective teaching strategy in enhancing students' achievement.

社交网络在初中生数学课程中的应用效果

台湾将于2014年开始实施12年义务教育，因此教育策略再次成为研究和讨论的重要问题。本研究在台湾某初中数学教学中，采用基于网络的合作学习模式。实验对象为3个年级的一年级学生，根据他们以往考试的平均成绩分为实验组和对照组。12周后，实验组采用Windows Live进行实验教学，对照组采用传统教学方法进行教学。两组分别进行学习成绩的前测和后测，实验组额外填写一份问卷。本研究的数据经ANCOVA分析表明，使用Windows Live网络合作学习的小组比使用传统教学方法的小组取得了显著更高的学习成绩。研究结果表明，Windows Live网络合作学习是提高学生学习成绩的有效教学策略。
