A Study of Investigating the Learning Effectiveness of Applying the MOODLE E-Learning in Taiwan's Elementary School

Abstract

This study is proposed to investigate the learning effectiveness of applying the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) e-learning in the field of social studies for Taiwan's elementary school students. The quasi-experimental method is introduced in order to examine the differences of the learning effectiveness between the MOODLE e-learning and the traditional teaching method. Through the computer-based statistical analysis, the result of this study shows that the integration of the MOODLE e-learning into elementary school's curriculum indeed help improve students' performance, as well as students with the MOODLE e-learning are more confident in self-studying and better understanding of the course contents.
