| Summary: | 碩士 === 玄奘大學 === 資訊管理學系碩士班 === 99 === This research combined the augmented reality (AR) technology and the computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system, and applied the AR-assisted instruction into the natural ecology classes of fourth grade students. The theme of the classes was studying butterflies. The research results revealed that the AR-assisted instruction could not only stir up the students’ learning motivations but also cause the improvement of the students’ learning achievements.
The research method was selecting two classes of fourth grade students and making one as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The students’ learning motivations and achievements were analyzed. The AR-assisted instruction was conducted in the experimental group, and the traditional teaching methods were conducted in the control group. Observations of the students’ responses were made during the classes.
The purpose was to compare the students’ learning achievement differences after the different teaching methods were utilized. In addition, after class a questionnaire survey was conducted in the experimental group so that the students’ learning motivation toward the AR-assisted instruction, along with their acceptance of the materials, could be analyzed.
The research results were as follows: (1) Compared to the traditional teaching methods, the AR-assisted instruction was more helpful. Therefore, the learning achievements of the experimental group were significantly better than the control group, showing that the AR-assisted instruction could enhance students’ learning competence. (2) The students believed that the AR-assisted instruction had made the classes more interesting and fun, and it had stirred up their learning motivations. (3) Through observation, we discovered that the AR-assisted instruction would increase the students’ mutual discussions and motivate them to ask questions. Because of this teaching tool, the interactions among students, as well as the interactions between the students and the teacher, were imperceptibly enhanced.
