Development and Application of the Learning System of Basic Subjects of Information Technology Implementing the Scaffolding Teaching Strategy

Abstract

This study aims to improve academic achievement and learning satisfaction by applying the learning system that employs the scaffolding teaching strategy in the courses for ‘basic of information technology’ of the technical high school students. To this end, first a web-based scaffolding teaching-learning model was designed, and a teaching-learning lesson plan was devised to form a basis to develop a learning system. This learning system was applied technical high school freshman students. As a result, the experimental group taught by the scaffolding teaching strategy had more positive changes in academic achievement and learning satisfaction than the control group. In addition, a high correlation between academic achievement and learning satisfaction was observed; and therefore, it was concluded that the group with higher academic achievement is more satisfied with what they have learned.
