Abstract

The purposes of this study are to develop a suitable U PBL System with QR Code Integration and to explore the influence of Ubiquitous-PBL (U-PBL for short) on students´ science process skills. After completing the system, this study employed 26 experienced teachers to evaluate this system. According to the assessment result, the system gets high appreciation no matter in the design and operation of the system, project-based learning, or U-learning perception. The research adopts a quasi-experiment research design, and used biology and the Environment as a learning unit in this experiment. The subjects in this study are 104 sixth graders from a certain elementary school in east Taipei. After the experiment, the scores on the science process skills of the experimental group students are significantly higher than those of the control group students.
