This study was to examine how modular teaching aids influenced different learners’ engineering concepts. This also served as a reference for schools to promote engineering education. The research subjects of this study were ten classes of eleventh graders from a Taipei Municipal Senior High School. They totaled 417 people with 209 people as an experimental group and 208 people as a control group. The major research method was characterized by a quasi-experimental research design and a pre-post-test design. The research tools and instruments included the modular teaching aids-oriented instructional units-mechanical beasts, worksheets, and Engineering Concept Test. Concerning the analysis of the research data, this study utilized SPSS Statistics 20.0 for Windows not only to calculate the average and standard deviation but also to perform one-way ANCOVA and two-way ANCOVA. The major research findings were: (1) the modular teaching aids assisted the students significantly better in learning engineering concepts than the traditional teaching modes; (2) the application of the modular teaching aids exerted no significant impact on the students’ learning of both constraint concepts and optimization concepts in engineering; (3) the modular teaching aids were more conducive to approximately forty percent of the students’ learning of predictive analysis concepts in engineering than the traditional teaching modes. |
