This method is different from Traditional Teaching Method (TTM).
The purpose of this study is to probe into the effect on the stepping in of Cooperative Learning to 7th graders’ recorder education. The effects include the flow experience and the learning satisfaction gained from class. The study adopt Quasi-Experiment Designs, sampling on two classes of 7th grade students from Shalu Junior High School of Taichung City. The object of study, including the 59 students in total, are separate into experimental group of 30 persons(Cooperative Learning) and control group of 29 persons (TTM).Teaching experiment carry on 4 weeks.(totally 8 classes, each week 2 classes, every single class 45 minutes) Then conducted tests with flow experience and learning satisfactin during a week of the back and forth of the experiment. Below is the result of the research.
1. Cooperative learning groups " flow experience " the scales of "unity of knowledge", "balance of challenges and skills," "self into the experience," "a sense of timing shift", "concentrate", and overall flow experience significantly progress.
2.Cooperative learning groups "learning satisfaction" subscale of "Music courses" in "teaching", "human relationships", "Environmental Equipment", "academic performance", and overall satisfaction with significant learning progress.
3.Traditional teaching group " flow experience " the scales of "unity of knowledge", "Challenges and balance skills," "self into the experience," "a sense of timing shift", "concentrate", and overall flow experience insignificant progress.
4.Traditional teaching groups "learning satisfaction" sub-scales of the "Music courses" in "teaching", "human relationships", "Environmental Equipment", "academic performance", and the overall learning satisfaction insignificant progress. |
