摘要
The Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) is a new educational technology recently introduced in Taiwan. It revolutionizes not only the traditional classroom teaching environment but also the history of the whiteboard. This research tries to understand how IWB influences student learning effectiveness in health and physical education curriculum and student perceptions towards the learning environment. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. A total of 113 elementary school sixth graders participated in this research. All students were divided into two groups, IWB group (n = 59) and T group (n = 54). Students in the IWB group learned in the environment integrating IWB into teaching. However, students in the T group learned in the environment using traditional information communication technology (ICT) in teaching (Microsoft PowerPoint slides used with a projector and a projection screen, not having any of the interactive functions of the Interactive Whiteboard). The results indicate that students in the IWB group learn more effectively than those in the T group. Further, students of the IWB group also have significantly more positive perceptions towards the learning environment than those in the T group.
