This study applied mobile devices to cross-disciplinary courses, and designed a project for the sixth grade of a primary school under the theme of “little healthy master” with the aim of guiding students’ health concepts and implementing specific health actions. Adopting a quasi-experimental study design and taking two classes of the sixth grade in Qingqing Elementary School (pseudonym) as the research subjects, this study randomly selected one class as an experimental group (n=24) and the other class as the control group (n=23). The experimental group used mobile devices to conduct cross-disciplinary project while the control group adopted traditional teaching methods. In the experiment, 20 lessons courses were implemented for 10 weeks, including health lessons, comprehensive activities and nature classes. Researchers compared the Health scores of the two classes before the course implementation and the tests of the cognition on the concept of health for the classes after the course implementation, through analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)to evaluatethe learning effectiveness of students’ cognition on the concept of health. The difference in body mass index (BMI) values before and after the course implementation was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of healthy. The study also collected qualitative data such as students’ learning experience interview record, observation in the teaching process of teachers and feedback from parents to understand the implementation process and effectiveness of mobile devices applied toelementary school cross-disciplinary healthy posture project-based courses. The research results show that compared with traditional teaching methods, the application of mobile devices to “little healthy master” thematic courses really improves the students’ cognition on the concept of health and facilitates the improvement of students’ healthy posture; applying the mobile devices to the special course of “little healthy master” can effectively guide students to internalize knowledge into concrete actions to solve problems in life situations. The results of this study can be an important reference for elementary school teachers in the process of integrating emerging technologies into teaching to conduct the literacyoriented teaching design. |
