A Study of Learning Cycle Teaching Practice on Biological Conceptions at Junior High School / 國中生物運輸單元試行學習環教學之研究

碩士 / 國立彰化師範大學 / 科學教育研究所 / 82 / This study aimed to investigate the cognitive structures,
concering "transport in living bodies"unit,of students taught
this unit through learning cycle teaching and those taught the
same unit through expository teaching,and to survey the
attitude of the teacher and students toward learning cycle
teaching. Dealing with "transport in living bodies "unit, the
teacher employed learning cycle teaching in one class and
expository teaching in the other. Then each student was asked
to take a paper-pen test,to fill out a questionaire, concering
their attitudes toward the learning cycle teaching,and to have
an interview with the researcher,in the meantime,the teacher
was also interviewed and required to have self-reflection
questionaires. All the results obtained from the above activies
were collected as the data in the study. The results of this
study, comparing the learning effects of the students who had
been taught through learning cycle teaching and that of those
who had been taught through expository teaching, indicated that
the former had better realization of the concepts of antibody,
transport of blood, vascular bundle, annual ring, and transport
direction of nutrition of plants than latter, while little
difference was found between these two groups of students with
respect to the concepts of blood circulation path,transpiration
of water within leaves,and nutrition functionof roots and
stems. As to their attitudes toward learning cycle teaching,
the teacher was convinced that this teaching method could
facilitate students''learning about scientific concepts,and the
students considered it an effective teaching method,which could
not only help them grasp the main points in the textbooks but
also train them to active research habit. These results lead us
to believe that learning cycle can improve scientific process,
acquiring biological concepts,and raise the motivation of
learning,so that it is worth being applied further to other
units or subjects.
