This study adopts pre- and post- nonequivalent group design. Subjects were fourth graders enrolled in 5 different elementary schools of Kaohsiung city. Four classes were assigned to the experimental groups (n=129), and the 5th to the control group (n=33). Four methods (taught with pamphlet, taught with film and brochure, self-learning with pamphlet, self-learning with film and brochure) were applied in educational hearing conservation program (HCP), each was presented to one of the four experimental groups for one week. All subjects were assessed before and after the HCP to investigate the effectiveness of HCP. Data analyses comprised percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, one-way ANCOVA and two-way ANCOVA. Interviews were conducted to 20 subjects, five from each of the four experimental groups to investigate students’ satisfaction with the HCP. The results of the study were listed as follows: 1.Students’ scores in three sub-scales of HCP questionnaire were 57.3%, 79%, 42.09%, respectively. It indicates that the elementary school students’ knowledge and behavior toward HCP needs to be improved. 2.”Watching fireworks” was on the top of the list in students’ ranking for activities accompanied with loud noise. In terms of type of activities with loud noise, boys attended more than girls, however, there was no significant difference in terms of quantity of attendance. 3.After HCP, the experimental groups scored significantly higher than the control group in three sub-scales of HCP questionnaire. 4.After HCP, there was no significant difference in students’ knowledge for HCP among 4 different methods, however, results of two-way ANCOVA indicates a significant in different teaching materials and different teaching styles. “HCP film and brochure” was better than “HCP pamphlet”, and “ taught by teacher” was better than “self- learning”. Moreover, similar results were not observed for students’ scores in two other subscales of HCP. 5.HCP was suitable for the fourth grade students, and was favored by all of the students. Moreover, “HCP film” was students’ favorite teaching material.
