Assessing the effectiveness of learning solid geometry by using an augmented reality-assisted learning system     

Hao-Chiang Koong Lin  Mei-Chi Chen  Chih-Kai Chang 《Interactive Learning Environments》2013,21(6):799-810

This study integrates augmented reality (AR) technology into teaching activities to design a learning system that assists junior high-school students in learning solid geometry. The following issues are addressed: (1) the relationship between achievements in mathematics and performance in spatial perception; (2) whether system-assisted learning can improve the spatial perceptions of students; (3) whether students with high, average and low academic achievement learn effectively after taught with system assistance; (4) system usability; (5) system task load; and (6) the relationship among various factors. Study participants were 76 students from Tainan City, Taiwan. Qualitative and quantitative data are obtained using pre- and post-system-assisted learning paper–pencil tests, a system usability scale, National Aeronautics & Space Administration Task Load indeX, and observations and focus group interviews. Analysis results indicate that students' math scores and spatial perception during the test closely correspond to each other. Additionally, system-assisted can improve the spatial perceptions of student. Regarding group differences related to the significance of impact, students with average and low academic achievements exhibit small and medium levels of effectiveness, but are insignificant in high academic achievement students. As for system usability, students with low academic achievements demonstrate a positive attitude toward the intensive programs provided by the system. However, the correlation between students’ learning effectiveness and system usability/task load is low.  相似文献   

Determining Virtual Environment “Fit”: The Relationship Between Navigation Style in a Virtual Field Trip, Student Self-Reported Desire to Visit the Field Trip Site in the Real World, and the Purposes of Science Education     

M. Shane Tutwiler  Ming-Chao Lin  Chun-Yen Chang 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2013,22(3):351-361

In this study, a follow-up analysis of the data reported in Lin et al. (Learn Media Technol. doi: 10.1080/17439884.2011.629660, 2011), we investigated the relationship between student use of a virtual field trip (VFT) system and the probability of students reporting wanting to visit the national park site upon which the VFT was modeled, controlling for content knowledge and prior visits to the park. Students who were able to navigate the VFT in teams were more likely than their peers who had the system demonstrated by a teacher to want to visit the national park. In addition, students with higher pre-intervention content knowledge were more likely to want to visit the national park than their peers with lower pre-test scores, in both the teacher demonstration and student co-navigation conditions.  相似文献

中澳高职教育师资队伍建设比较研究     

彭丹逵  钟美华 《广东广播电视大学学报》2013,(4):6-9

经过近30年的建设,我国高等职业教育取得了世人注目的进步,但值得注意的是我国的职业教育离发达国家高等职业教育的发展水平还有很大的差距,特别是在师资队伍的建设上尤显薄弱。通过对中澳两国职业教育师资队伍建设进行比较研究,从中可以获得几点促进我国高职教育师资队伍建设的启示:应高度重视教师的引进与培养,严把"入门关";建设一支素质优良、结构稳定的兼职教师队伍;脚踏实地地开展注重实效的产学结合、校企合作等。  相似文献

武汉城市圈残疾人高等教育缺失现状调查及原因分析     

彭小青  黄琳 《湖北大学成人教育学院学报》2013,(5):63-67

我国现有各类残疾人8502万余人,占全国总人口的6.34%,大专以上文化程度的残疾人仅占残疾人总数的1.1%,残疾人接受高等教育比例远远低于正常人群。武汉城市圈占湖北省面积的33%,区域内人口是湖北省总人口的50.4%,六成以上的GDP总量。而武汉城市圈在经济发展的同时,残疾人高等教育却与湖北省情况一样,存在严重的不平衡与缺失。据调查数据表明,武汉城市圈多年来残疾人高考录取比例仅占正常人录取人数的千分之零点几。本文针对武汉城市圈残疾人高等教育缺失的现状进行了调研,并进行了粗略的分析,对一些问题进行了思考探讨。  相似文献
