The main purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of information technology integrated cooperative learning on junior high school students’ learning achievement and attitude of science study. This study employed quasi-experimental approach. Two nonequivalent groups were estimated by their pretest and posttest. The subjects were sixty-four students, from two classes at the third grade in a junior high school. One of the classes, as the experimental group, received the instruction of information technology integrated cooperative learning, whereas the other, as the control group, received conventional teaching method. The data of the pretest were based on the students’ scores on the learning attitude questionnaire and the achievement tests of Science Study in the 1st semester of academic year 2009, while the data of the posttest were later examined after the instruction. The results of this research are as follows:The first, after the instruction of information technology integrated cooperative learning, learning achievement of the experimental group students was not significantly superior to that of the control group students. Second, after the instruction of information technology integrated cooperative learning, learning attitude of the experimental group students was significantly superior to that of the control group students. The results of this quantitative experiment revealed information technology integrated cooperative learning maked the student increase their confidence in learning; besides, inter-team and intra-team learning improved the students’ positive attitude, created an environment with better atmosphere and frequent interactions between students and teachers. Moreover, a digitalized environment can help a teacher to carry out an information technology integrated cooperative learning; the uses of dynamic information materials and the team responsibility can inspire students’ motivations, enhance their cooperation and raise their learning achievement.
