The dynamic investigation in the subject of science and technology for elementary school students

In the third grade of the elementary school, learning Science and Technology will become a challenge to children. Because of the obviously different learning motivation and style between Science and Technology and other learning areas, the investigation of the factors which affect the learning achievement of Science and Technology has become an important issue for researchers. There are lots of static studies about the related issues of Science and Technology. Most of them are not able to estimate for the effect of the policy issue. This study generalizes five main variables including the learning motivation of a student, the teaching enthusiasm of a teacher, the accompanying time of families, the innovative teaching methods and the Science and Technology activities in the school. Due to the variable is closely linked and inseparable to each other, this study applies the five variables all together by using the system dynamics. In this study, a system dynamics software named Vensim has been used to establish the proposed model, which is used to investigate and analyze the Science and Technology learning achievement of children. This study promotes levels from the static state to the dynamic state. The results of this study provide valuable references and suggestions to make decisions for elementary school teachers. It is intended to promote the Science and Technology learning motivation and accomplish learning achievement for the elementary students.
