摘要

本研究以電腦爲「心智工具」觀點，發展促進國小學童思考推理的學習工具。其發展焦點在於(1)以模擬工具作爲學習者主動探索、思考的心智工具(2)發展Excel作爲資訊融入教學的學生學習輔具。針對工具效益評估，選取國小六年級103位學生爲研究樣本，針對系統操作、教材內容、學習態度、合作學習四個向度進行問卷調查。結果顯示試算表與模擬工具的使用以促進學童學習活動的探索，是一個正向的嘗試。學童對教材設計、教學方式與學習態度皆持肯定的評價。在未來研究的發展上，將進一步提供適切的電腦心智工具，以提升資訊融入教學的效能。

This study focuses on developing and evaluating a computer aided learning environment that will enhance students' ability in cogitation, hypothesizing, verification, and problem solving. The design of such computer aided learning system is based on the combination of Jonassen's (1996) Mindtools concept, Ausubel's subsumption theory and Network multimedia peculiarity in order to construct a curriculum-orientated computer visual simulated learning environment. Such simulated environment provides advanced organizers for students to associate existing knowledge to new coming concepts. This computer aided learning system employs spreadsheets and visualized tools as Mindtools for active exploration, cognition, and problem solving of learners. In addition, it organizes reference models for teachers and students in order to perform meaningful learning.
To estimate benefit of this visual simulated learning environment, the study adopts Quasi-experiment. 105 students of 6th-grade elementary school classes were surveyed. The development of this visual simulated learning environment is to pursue an applicable teaching method with the students as the main body and the computer as Mindtools. It helps the learner to develop the concepts of probability through the steps of experiencing, realizing and understanding.
