從個別差異性探討使用繪本電子書整合歸納式學習與演繹式學習之影響(2/2)

Both Inductive Learning and Deductive Learning have been widely applied to support English grammar learning. In the former, students are give English articles or sentences and then actively generalize some grammatical rules. In the latter, students are passively instructed in grammatical rules, with which they sort out problems related to English learning. Inductive Learning can make students have the sense of participation but it needs to take much time. Deductive Learning is relatively efficient but students may easily forget what they have learnt. In other words, these two approaches have different advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, there is a need to integrate these two approaches. To this end, an Environment that Integrates Inductive Learning and Deductive Learning (EIILDL) will be developed in this proposed project. On the other hand, individual differences existed among learners so an empirical study will be conducted to investigate how individual differences affect learners’ reactions to the EIILDLIn brief, this project consists of five work packages. During the first year, we have completed the first work package (To build the English grammar pictorial e-book) and the second work package (to integrate Inductive Learning and Deductive Learning). In the second year, we will conduct empirical investigation and then conduct comprehensive data analysis. More specifically, the independent variable is individual difference, including gender differences, prior knowledge and cognitive styles. On the other hand, dependent variables will include learning behavior, learning performance and learning perception. Data analysis methods will include Lag Sequential Analysis and Traditional Statistics.
