Abstract

This study aims to discuss the effects of Web-based Instruction and Learning Behavior on Learning Effectiveness. Web-based Instruction contains the dimensions of Active Learning, Simulation-based Learning, Interactive Learning, and Accumulative Learning; and, Learning Behavior covers Learning Approach, Learning Habit, and Learning Attitude. The directors of Web-based Instruction Centers and the students in ten universities in Taiwan and China are selected as the research subjects for on-site questionnaire distribution and collection. Within the 500 copies distributed, total 382 valid ones are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 76%. The research findings show the partially significant correlations between Web-based Instruction and Learning Behavior, between Learning Behavior and Learning Effectiveness, and between Web-based Instruction and Learning Effectiveness. At the end, several suggestions are proposed for the practice of Web-based Instruction.

Highlights

The ubiquitous network has broken the teaching and learning model in traditional education and created a different educational model in the information era
This study presents the great differences from the past research that Web-Based Instruction changes the learning behaviors, largely promotes the learning effectiveness, and enhances the learning intention and attitudes of learners
According to the research outcomes, remarkable correlations appear between Web-based Instruction and Learning Behavior, between Learning Behavior and Learning Effectiveness, and between Web-based Instruction and Learning Effectiveness

Summary

Introduction

The ubiquitous network has broken the teaching and learning model in traditional education and created a different educational model in the information era. In such a Web-based Instruction era, the roles of teachers have been largely changed that the learning attitudes and behaviors of students need adjustment. Web-based Instruction has broken through the restriction on people, time, and places in traditional instruction that anyone intending to learning receives equal opportunities being instructed. It is wondered whether the effectiveness of Webbased Instruction would be automatically generated because of the adoption of computer network, or both instructors and learners should present favorable instructional strategies and learning behaviors.
