Improvement of Classroom Instruction with Project Based Learning and Uncertainty Orientation in Higher Education

摘要本研究旨在探讨基于合作学习理论的项目学习对课堂教学的改善作用，并检验其在高等教育中的有效性。本说明书由两部分组成。在第一部分中，参与者意识到合作在教育中的必要性，并学习了进行生产性小组学习所需的技能。在第二部分，他们以小组为单位进行了一个项目。该指导对提高学习动机和学业成绩有显著效果。然而，参与者的不确定性取向不影响结果。这些研究结果从合作学习理论和不确定性取向理论进行了检验。

The purpose of this research was to improve classroom instruction with project learning based on cooperative learning theory, and to examine the effectiveness of it in higher education. This instruction consisted of two parts. In the first part, participants realized the necessity of cooperation in education, and learned skills necessary to perform productive group leaning. In the second part, they carried out a project in small groups. This instruction revealed the effectiveness to enhance leaning motivation and academic achievements. However, participants' uncertainty orientation did not affect the results. These findings were examined from Cooperative Learning Theory and Uncertainty Orientation Theory.
