本研究旨在探討執行功能訓練融入國語課程對國小學童執行功能、創造性思考及國語學習表現之效果。本研究以準實驗法對國小三年級學童進行六週的執行功能訓練融入國語課程實驗，執行功能訓練融入國語課程實驗組28人，一般國語教學對照組46人。研究工具為參考「德里斯—克普蘭執行功能系統（D-KEFS）」編製的「設計流暢性平板電腦作業」、「新編創造思考測驗」與「學習成就測驗」。本研究以單因子共變數分析檢驗研究假設，研究結果如下：
一、「執行功能訓練融入國語教學課程」對執行功能中「認知靈活性」有顯著提升效果，對「抑制控制」的能力無顯著提升效果。
二、「執行功能訓練融入國語教學課程」對「創造思考能力」有顯著提升的效果。
三、「執行功能訓練融入國語教學課程」對「國語學習表現」有顯著提升的效果。
最後，研究者根據研究結果加以討論，提出未來進行執行功能訓練的實務建議，做為相關研究與教學的參考。

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the integration of executive function training into Mandarin courses on executive function, creative thinking, and performance of Mandarin learning in elementary and middle school children. In this study, the quasi-experiment method was used to perform executive function training for third grades of elementary school students for Six weeks into the Mandarin course experiment. Executive function training is integrated into the national language course experimental group of 28 people, and the general national language teaching control group of 46 people. The research tools are the tablet test compiled with reference to the "D-KEFS Design Fluency Test", the "New Creative Thinking Test" and the "Learning Achievement Test". Dependent one-way analysis of covariance is used to analyze the obtained data. The results are as follows:
1. "Executive function training integrated into Mandarin teaching curriculum" has a significant effect on "cognitive flexibility" in executive functions, but has no significant effect on "inhibition control" ability.
2. "Executive function training integrated into Mandarin teaching curriculum" has a significant effect on the ability of creative thinking.
3."Executive function training integrated into Mandarin teaching curriculum" has a significant effect on improving Mandarin learning performance.
Finally, the researchers discussed based on the research results, and put forward practical recommendations for future executive function training as a reference for related research.
