Edgar Dale, a US scholar in the field of education, emphasizes the three layers at the bottom "The Cone of Experience", in which students, through direct experiences, participate in learning and learn by sensuality. In the upper and middle layers, he mentions 2-D learning by making use of audio-lingual mass media, such as television and movies, in which students learn from another's performance. Using models such as Dale's "The Cone of Experience", Piaget's cognitive development in the formal operation stage, Ausubel's consequentialistic cognitive model, Dewey's Learning by doing and Bandura's social learning theory, we arranged a set of possible enhanced learning environments for students by doing the activity "Seeing movie and Learning Science." I hope that the students in this program will be more creative and contribute to society. The subjects for this research project are 60 second-year students from an elite junior high school class. The movie, U-571, is given to the students to stimulate their behavior and to motivate learning. Furthermore, seven theme lessons are given to the students for exploring scientific phenomena by the "Using hands in Science" and "Learning by Doing" learning models and by examining the reality of the scientific plots presented in the movie. During the process of each activity, the students are expected to cooperate with groups in order to accomplish the projects and explore the scientific theories used in the scientific aids or toys, by which the students would know that something is so and why is so and use the scientific knowledge well. This activity will teach as well as be fun. After finishing the projects, I will use an interesting game and presentation on what was learned to provide a whole-person educational environment and achieve the integrated educational goal. To visit some related exhibition halls in the National Science and Technology Museum is immediately arranged. Based on the statistical survey, the students give an average grade of approximately 7.5 out of 10 on the learning model using movie. They also believe this learning education model in science is interesting, new and a valuable reference for science educators. |
