本研究的目的在瞭解學生合作學習在電腦實驗教學中對學生學習成效的影響.研究以準時驗研究法進行, 以華江高中與新店高中各兩班一年級學生共171人為研究樣本. 實驗設計的自變項為學習方法(合作學習與個別學習)與學生學業性向的高低,依變項為電腦工作原理成究測驗之得分, 並以學生前一學期計算機概論成績為變異數分析的共變量. 本研究並以問卷及觀察的方式收集學生合作學習的情況. 研究結果發現:(1) 合作學習確實比個別學習較能提高學生的學習成就. (2) 學生對合作學習多持正面看法. (3) 合作學習中觀察與討論是電腦實驗教學最常出現的行為. (4) 學生學業性向與合作學習的關係在二校結果並不一致, 其關係仍有待進一步探討.

The purpose of this research is to investigate if cooperative lear.effective in improving computer science lab-based teaching. Two classes of freshman of Hua-Chiang Senior High School and Hsin-Tien Senior High Schoolware randomly selected for experimenting with lab-based material. One of theclasses in each senior high school was assigned the control group (individual learning group), the other class was assigned to the experiment group (cooperative learning group). A postest was administrated to compare students'performance data. A questionnaire was conducted to collect students' comments about the lab-based activities. The research revealed that:1. Cooperative lab-based learning was effective in improving students' achievement.2. Student welcomed the idea of cooperative lab-based learning.3. Observation and discussion ware the most frequent behaviors during the cooperative lab-based activities.4. The correlation between student' aptitude scores and cooperative lab-based learning remained unclear and required further study.
