Abstract

This study was based on Taiwan’s 108 Curriculum Guidelines for Technical Senior High Schools, developing knowledge nodes and instructional videos on the Taiwan Adaptive Learning Platform. A technology-assisted self- regulated learning lesson plan was designed and implemented to integrate both online and offline learning, forming a blended learning instructional model. The learning process included self-regulated learning planning, independent study using the Taiwan Adaptive Learning Platform and WSQ worksheets, intra-group collaborative learning, inter-group peer learning, teacher-guided instruction, and final reflective worksheet writing. The bus topology unit was selected as a case study for implementation.The results showed that students' post-test scores were significantly higher than their pre-test scores, proving the effectiveness of this learning model. Additionally, students who completed the WSQ worksheets demonstrated better learning effectiveness than those who did not, suggesting that the worksheets helped enhance learning effectiveness.
