Improving students' web-based problem-solving ability has been recognized as an important and challenging issue before they enter job market. This study aims to explore the problem-solving effectiveness and learning attitude of college students toward applying a web-based learning system (Meta-Analyzer) within an inquiry learning activity. Fifty three first-year college students of Business Administration Department participated in the study to experience the intervention of the system. However, it is unsure whether such a learning mechanism is suitable to every learner. Thus, this study examines the effects of human factors on problem-solving effectiveness within the webbased inquiry learning context. Among various human factors, this study focuses on cognitive styles, especially Witken's Field Dependence. The results indicate that Field Independent learners can get great benefits from the learning mechanism. Discussions on how to accommodate the needs of different cognitive styles groups are provided based on the results. |
