The Application of Instructional Media and IRS in Environmental Education - Focus on the Rocky Terrain in Northern Coast of Taiwan

Abstract

Based on the rock and mineral in environmental education, this paper designs instructional media, with the aim to let the users realize the beautiful sceneries on the coast around Taiwan and learn about the rocky terrain at the same time. Using the IRS system, the author tries to make the computer classes for interaction between individual and personal computer, including the lecture-listen teaching model, as well as interaction between teacher and student which could provide a different teaching style. This research shows that this instructional media enables six grade students in primary school learning the relative knowledge about the rocky terrain in northern coast of Taiwan happily and effectively, while the employment of IRS could enable students concentrate more attention to their study and promote their learning interest as well.
