The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning efficiency of the fifth grade students of the elementary school who learned the concept of the “light.” The focus of this study was on the difference in learning efficiency when students were or were not offered the web-based instructional system. The design of this research was based on the perspective and strategies of the “web-information” and of the “constructive learning.” In order to get the quantitative data, this research used the “Nonequivalent pretest-posttest control design” of the quasi-experimental design to investigate students’ learning efficiency. As for the qualitative data, “Semi-structured in-depth interviews,” “teaching records,” and “web-records” were used to investigate both the learning process and the result during their learning the concept of “light.” The following conclusions were thus made according to both the quantitative and qualitative analysis. First by offering a web-based learning environment, it helped students to acquire the concept topic of “light”. Second, the web-based learning environment could highly raise students’ learning efficiency in accomplishing the concept of “light”. Third, after receiving instruction about “light,” the students had better concept on the “reflection” and “shadow” part. In addition, the web-based learning environment could furthermore help them to significantly develop their concept about the “sense of sight.” Finally, the web-based learning environment could help the students to achieve better learning efficiency in the “light” unit (activity 4) compared to normal learning environment.
