In response to the era of the knowledge-based economy, there is a growing need to cultivate competitive students, which requires good teacher education in turn. This study aims to help pre-service teachers advance their abilities through the development of insect board games’ aids (IBGA) and two accompanying tests, by means of "Entomology" teacher education courses. Thirty-five pre-service teachers participated in this study. First, in regards to IBGA, the teacher educators taught insect subject knowledge, using the ADDIE model to develop IBGA and to design "Insect Science Process Test, ISPT" and "Thinking Intelligence Test, TIT". Second, after playing "Insects Playing Board Games", the pre-service teachers were divided into 7 groups to design IBGA, ISPT, and TIT. Finally, the qualities of IBGA, ISPT, and TIT developed by the pre-service teachers were evaluated using the Evaluation of Board Games Design (EBGD), Science Process Test Evaluation (SPTE), and Thinking Intelligence Test Evaluation (TITE). The results are as follows. 1. Pre-service teachers were able to use the insect subject knowledge and the ADDIE model to develop IBGA. 2. For the development of IBGA, the performances of the 7 groups of pre-service teachers were rated at AA to AAA levels, achieving a status of good to excellent. 3. The 7 groups of pre-service teachers exhibited performances in the development of ISPT that were rated as fair to excellent. 4. The 7 groups of pre-service teachers had performances in the development of TIT that were also rated as varying from fair to excellent. |
