The Action Research of Integrating Information Technology into Project-Based Science Learning of Elementary School

Abstract
The prupose of theis study is to prove into the teaching model of integrating information technology into Project-based Science Learning designed by the researcher. We will discuss how information technology assists teachers and students to ¡§teach¡¨ and ¡§learn¡¨ through developing curriculum module and teaching activities. Teacher analyze that how students decided team¡¦s research topic, and the problems they met and solution to them by learning journal, observation reports, teacher¡¦s journal, self-checking list and surveys. Then, to criticism the possibility of carrying out Project-based Learning through teachers¡¦ reflection, students¡¦ feeling, and parents¡¦ reaction.The final conclusions are as follows:
1.The Project-based Science Learning model of this research is suitable for 5th and 6th graders.
2.Promoting Project-based Science Learning can develop students¡¦ interests toward science research, open students¡¦ spirits of thinking automatically and solving problems through cooperation, and make students apply their experience in their lives.
3.Third, the practice of Project-based Science curriculum can make students easier to understand the preparations, process, and its final results, to reverse students¡¦ the vary first thoughts about ¡§doing research is difficult¡¨, to stimulate their abilities of creative thinking, and to apply students more concrete postmortem index and strategies while choosing topics.
4.In the curriculum, information technology is mainly applied into three parts, including collecting research topics and information, discussing research process, and sharing and showing research results. Applying class website message board can make up the disadvantage of arranging meeting time, and be the bridge for teachers and students to provide sources of information, transmit messages, discuss problems and solutions, exhibit the result of experiment, and write research papers and so on. It is the most useful information technology application for students.
5.Teachers, students, and parents all agree project-based science learning with highly support.
