A Case Study on the Effect of Teaching Innovation on Learning Effectiveness: Using a Moderator of “Integrating Information Technology into Teaching”

This study primarily aims at the effect of teaching innovation on learning effectiveness in a certain technical-vocational university/college in Taiwan with integrating information technology into teaching as a moderator. The sample population of the research was the teachers (above lecturers) and the students of a certain vocational & technical university/college in Taiwan. Convenience sampling was used. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to verify this research's overall model and its structural model and to measure the model's goodness-of-fit. Then, the study aims at the path coefficient among the “implicit variables” (or called latent variables) of the structural model using t-test to determine whether the moderating effect of the model was significant. The research results showed that (1) Teaching innovation has a positive, direct and significant effect on students' learning effectiveness (2) Integrating information technology into teaching had a significant, positive effect on learning effectiveness and; (3) Teaching innovation and integrating information technology into teaching have an interaction effect with respect to learning effectiveness.
