Measurement and units play an important role in our daily lives and are closely related to our everyday activities. During elementary school education, students at different grade levels undertake varied learning tasks related to measurement, ranging from basic recognition and unit conversions to advanced calculations. The Metric and Measurement Mobile Teaching Toolbox, developed by the National Science and Technology Museum, can serve as an interdisciplinary learning tool for mathematics and science in upper elementary grades. With its hands-on design, it is expected to enhance students' interest in learning. This study utilized the Mobile Teaching Toolbox in a Children's Day challenge activity held at an elementary school in Kaohsiung. The Generic Learning Outcomes (GLOs) framework with its five dimensions was adopted to explore the learning outcomes of 252 upper elementary students who participated in the activity. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six sixth-grade students who served as station leaders to understand their learning processes and experiences during the event. Through t-tests and one-way ANOVA, the researchers analyzed the learning outcomes of students with different background variables after participating in the activity. The results revealed that students' overall knowledge comprehension was moderate, while their performance in attitudes and values, as well as enjoyment, inspiration, and creativity, were relatively better, both scoring above 4.1. Among background variables, no significant gender differences were found, but upper-grade students performed better than middle-grade students. Furthermore, students who self-reported a better understanding of measurement concepts showed significantly higher learning performance after the challenge compared to those with less understanding. Serving as station leaders not only enhanced students' communication and expression skills but also provided them with positive experiences and attitudes. |
