| Popis: | 98 Along with the development of information technology and world-wide-web, “e-learning” has become a new trend of learning. In the General Guidelines of Grade 1-9 Curriculum of Elementary and Junior High School Education enacted by the Ministry of Education, ‘information learning” has been an important subject of debate. In this study, an online tutoring system was used to help 4 fourth-grade and 6 fifth-grade students for their math learning, and its effects on the student’s learning effectiveness, attitude toward math, and learning satisfaction was observed and discussed. The online tutoring experiment was lasted for a whole semester. Data of attitude toward math was collected with a questionnaire both in the beginning and at the end of the experiment. Math learning satisfaction both in the traditional classroom and in the online tutoring environment were also measured by questionnaires. The learning effectiveness was referring to student’s scores of three written exams administered in the semester. In addition, several personal interviews to students, teachers and tutors were conducted to provide a more thorough understanding of the online tutoring facilitation. Research results showed that: (1) it was hard to tell whether online tutors did facilitate student’s learning effectiveness of math from only a semester experiment. However, it was found student’s calculation skills of math were enhanced. (2) A positive effect on student’s attitude toward math was found after the online tutoring experiment. (3) Students were highly satisfied with the online tutoring system. |
