Development of a Spreadsheet-based Mindtool for Conducting E-Learning Activities in Geographic Courses

摘要：

In this study, a spreadsheet approach is proposed to developing Mindtools to engage students in higher order thinking in Geographic courses.To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, an experiment has been conducted in the phenomena of climate on earth unit of an elementary school Geographic course.Two classes of sixth graders were assigned to an experimental group that learned with the proposed approach and a control group that learned with traditional technology-enhanced learning.The experimental result showed that the spreadsheet approach significantly benefited the students in improving their learning achievement, implying the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
