國小六年級藝術與人文學習領域合作學習教學法之實驗研究

Abstract

本研究的主要目的在探討「合作學習」教學法對國小六年級兒童在藝術與人文學習領域之學習動機、班級氣氛及學習成就的影響。本研究的研究對象取自台北市西門國小六年級兒童，受試者有178人，以班級為單位，隨機分派為實驗組與控制組，其中實驗組採取合作學習教學法，控制組則維持原來講授、示範、練習的教學方式，兩組受試者同時接受每週一次，每次三節(120分鐘)，為期六週之實驗教學單元。 本研究採前、後測實驗控制不相等組實驗設計，以「藝術與人文學習狀況調查問卷」及「藝術與人文學習成就測驗」為評量工具，對所有受試者進行前測與後測的評量，以前測為比較基準，組別(實驗組採「合作學習」教學法，控制組維持原來的教學方式)為自變項，而以後測為依變項，進行單因子共變數分析，以驗證研究假設。 本研究的主要發現如下： 一、 合作學習教學法能更有效增強國小六年級兒童在藝術與人文學習領域之學習動機。 二、 合作學習教學法能更有效促進國小六年級兒童在藝術與人文學習領域之班級氣氛融洽。 三、 合作學習教學法能更有效提高國小六年級兒童在藝術與人文學習領域之學習成就。 研究者根據研究結果加以討論，並且進一步提出合作學習教學法在應用上及未來研究方面的建議。

The major purpose of this study was to assess the effects of the cooperative learning method intervention on motivation to learning, class atmosphere and academic achievement among sixth grade students of an elementary school at arts and humanities area. Six classes, which consist of 178 sixth grade students of an elementary school in Taipei, randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group. The treatment group received the method of cooperative learning and the control group did the existing teaching method. All subjects took the pretest and the posttest with Learning Condition Questionnaire and Academic Achievement Test at Arts and Humanities area. One-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test three hypothesis. The findings in this study were as follows: 1. The cooperative learning group had a stronger motivation to learning than did the control group at arts and humanities area. 2. The cooperative learning group gained more in class atmosphere than did the control group at arts and humanities area. 3. The cooperative learning group had higher academic achieve- ment than did the control group at arts and humanities area. The results and application of the cooperative learning method were discussed, and suggestions for future research were proposed at the final.
