心智圖是一種可將書面上的知識轉化成視覺化學習的模式,協助學習者對概念加以理解與記憶,進而達到有效學習的目的。本研究旨在探討運用數位心智圖融入教學對國小學童自然科學習成效之影響。研究採用準實驗研究法(quasi-experiment research),以台中市某國小兩班六年級學童為研究對象,包含實驗組28人,控制組28人,實驗組學童接受數位心智圖融入自然科教學,控制組學童接受傳統教學。以國小六年級自然與生活科技領域第八冊「簡單機械」單元為教材,進行為期六週(18節課)之教學。教學前後進行學習成效測驗,比較兩組學童在自然科學習成效之差異。研究發現運用數位心智圖融入教學有助提升國小學童在自然科的學習成效。
Mind mapping is a visualized learning method, it can help learners to realize and memorize the concepts they learn from books, thus can achieve the purpose of effective learning. The study aimed to know the learning efficiency on the sixth grade students by incorporating digital mind maps into science courses. By employing quasi-experiment research, two classes of the sixth grade students were selected from one of the Elementary School in Taichung city used as samples, which included an experimental group and a control group of 28 students each. The experimental group had six weeks, eighteen lessons by incorporating digital mind maps into the chapter of “Simple Mechanism”. After six weeks instructional methodology given, we compare with these two groups students between the learning efficiency of science and technology curriculums. The study find that digital mind maps can be used to teach sixth graders’ science courses and have reached the significant effect in students' abilities of science courses.
