This study is intended to investigate the impact of perceived ease of learning, enjoyment, acquisition of useful knowledge on learning attitude, competence acquisition and satisfaction. Works developed by 40 fifth and sixth graders from Her Herng and Chu Wan elementary schools were gathered and analyzed. An experimental design was developed, and the subjects were divided into control and experimental groups. The results proved that the experimental group exhibited significant differences in terms of perceived ease of learning, enjoyment, and acquisition of useful knowledge as compared to the control group. Furthermore, the results of the regressions indicated that perceptions that knowledge is useful and ease of learning have a significantly positive influence on students’ learning attitude. Additionally, learning attitude was shown to have a significantly positive influence on competence acquisition as well as competence leading to learning satisfaction. The results support the premise that designing an interdisciplinary curriculum with the elements of useful knowledge and ease of learning stemming from an enjoyable curriculum may help improve students’ learning attitude and may also help them acquire competence and increased learning satisfaction in project-based learning environments.
