The Effects of Incorporating Web-Assisted Learning with Team Teaching in Seventh-Grade Science Classes
Jang, Syh-Jong
International Journal of Science Education, v28 n6-12 p615-632 May 2006
Due to the implementation of a 9-year integrated curriculum scheme in Taiwan, research on team teaching and web-based technology appears to be urgent. The purpose of this study was incorporated web-assisted learning with team teaching in seventh-grade science classes. The specific research question concerned student performance and attitudes about the teaching method. Two certified science teachers and four classes of the seventh graders participated in this study. It used a mixed methods design, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The main data included students' scores, questionnaires, teachers' self-reflections, and the researcher's interviews with teachers. The results showed that the average final examination scores of students experiencing the experimental teaching method were higher than that of those receiving traditional teaching. The two teaching methods showed significant difference in respect of students' achievement. The research had limitations because of students abilities of data collection, computer use, and discussion, but more than one-half of the students preferred the experimental method to traditional teaching. However, team teachers would encounter the problems of technology ability, time constraints, and entrance examination pressure. (Contains 3 tables.)
