Action Research of Keller Plan on Improving Students¡¦ Information Literacy

Tu, Ching-hsiang 19 July 2007 (has links)
In terms of the importance of information literacy for future education; the efficacy of information learning is hardly assessed; therefore, the main purposes of this research were ¡]1¡^to assess the efficacy of information literacy education at case school;¡]2¡^to know what influences information literacy of students at case school;¡]3¡^to implement remedial courses based on Keller Plan ;¡]4¡^to assess whether Keller Plan is effective in improving information literacy educa- tion. In order to achieve this goal, information indicators of case school were used as a tool to assess the efficacy of information literacy education at case school and Keller Plan was adopted to improve students¡¦ information literacy. Finally, the production of graduation CD would be used to reassess teaching efficacy after the introduction of Keller Plan. Conclusions of this research were made as follows: ¢°¡B In the pretest, the efficacy of students¡¦ information learning did not corre- spond to information literacy indicators established by case school. ¢±¡B Gender, father¡¦s educational level, information equipment and habits of use did not make a significant impact on students¡¦ information literacy at case school. ¢²¡B Programmed Project based on Keller plan could improve general and inferior students¡¦ information literacy at case school. ¢³¡B Modified version of Keller Plan can be used to elevate students¡¦ information literacy. Suggestions of this research were listed below: ¢°¡B For school administration¡G ¡]a¡^ To establish certification mechanism for information literacy. ¡]b¡^ To adopt spiral curriculum for information literacy education. ¡]c¡^ To open information literacy courses for parents. ¢±¡B For teachers¡¦ teaching¡G ¡]a¡^ To adopt project-based teaching. ¡]b¡^ To integrate cooperative learning into information literacy education. ¡]c¡^ To teach skills before related concepts. ¢²¡B For students¡¦ learning¡G ¡]a¡^ To learn how to screen useful information. ¡]b¡^ To do extracurricular learning. ¢³¡B For future research¡G ¡]a¡^ To expand sampling locally or nationally. ¡]b¡^ To establish national certification system. Key words: information literacy, Keller Plan, action research

A comparison between the effects of Keller Plan and traditional teaching methods on structure of learning outcomes among tertiary mathematics students.

Freislich, Mary R. January 1997 (has links)
The goal of the present project was to evaluate a mastery learning teaching method in mathematics for engineering undergraduates. Many mathematics teachers are very dissatisfied with the level of understanding displayed by students who pass traditional examinations. The Keller Plan requires mastery demonstrated by almost perfect performance on a sequence of tests which students repeat until they reach the high standard required.The study compared students in the same mathematics subject in the year before a change to Keller Plan teaching, and in the year of the change. Achievement scores, defined in terms of the completeness and consistency of solutions to test problems on the whole of the syllabus, were higher for the Keller Plan group. Measures of attitudes and approaches to study, which were positively related to achievement, indicated that the Keller Plan group had stronger intrinsic motivation, and more diligent study methods. Their confidence tended to be lower than that of the traditionally taught group, but was not low in absolute, and appreciation of the greater challenge of the Keller Plan appeared to be worked out via diligence. Students felt that individual work in the Keller Plan was a better use of time than attending traditional lectures.
