| Popis: | 98 The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of group investigation (GI) on the third graders’ social studies achievement. Using a quasi-experimental design, two classes of third graders from kuai-le elementary school (anonymous) in Kauhsiung County were selected. One class was randomly assigned to the experimental group that received 12 weeks of group investigation (GI) in their social studies class, while the other class was assigned as the control group that received traditional lecture. Before and after the experiment, both groups of students complete a social studies achievement test. The results indicated that : 1. The students who received GI scored significantly higher than the control group in their social studies achievement. 2. Seventy percent of the experimental students were satisfied with the group investigation learning results. 3. Seventy-six percent of the experimental students were positive toward group investigation. Based upon the results, implications of the study were suggested. |
