Abstract

Background

Science history is a discipline that teaches the development of scientific thought and the discoveries of scientists. However, these topics can sometimes be abstract and difficult to understand. The use of technology can make the teaching of the history of science more effective, engaging, and accessible. By providing students with visual and interactive experiences, it allows them to better understand abstract concepts and closely follow the discoveries of scientists. In this way, history of science lessons can become more appealing and conducive to learning for students.

Objectives

This research aims to design and develop a Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) environment that can be used for teaching science history.

Methods

The research was conducted using a design-based research method consisting of four stages: Analysis, design, development-implementation-evaluation, and reporting. The research involved 10 science teachers and five secondary school students. Data were collected through focus group interviews, individual interviews, notes, audio recordings, and images, and then analysed using content analysis.

Results and Conclusions

As a result of the research, a MAR application named TISAR-3D was developed, which allows students to interactively and visually explore scientists and enrich their learning experience.

Implications

The widespread use of the TISAR-3D application in science history education is recommended, as well as the development of similar MAR applications for other topics.

设计和开发基于增强现实技术的移动学习环境，教授科学家的生活

背景科学史是一门教授科学思想的发展和科学家的发现的学科。然而，这些主题有时可能比较抽象，难以理解。使用技术可以使科学史教学更有效、更吸引人、更容易理解。通过为学生提供视觉和互动体验，可以让他们更好地理解抽象概念，密切关注科学家的发现。本研究旨在设计和开发一种可用于科学史教学的移动增强现实（MAR）环境：研究采用基于设计的研究方法，包括四个阶段：分析、设计、开发-实施-评估和报告。研究涉及 10 名科学教师和 5 名中学生。通过焦点小组访谈、个别访谈、笔记、录音和图片收集数据，然后使用内容分析法对数据进行分析。结果与结论作为研究成果，开发出了名为 TISAR-3D 的 MAR 应用程序，该程序允许学生以互动和可视化的方式探索科学家，丰富了他们的学习体验。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Computer Assisted Learning is an international peer-reviewed journal which covers the whole range of uses of information and communication technology to support learning and knowledge exchange. It aims to provide a medium for communication among researchers as well as a channel linking researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. JCAL is also a rich source of material for master and PhD students in areas such as educational psychology, the learning sciences, instructional technology, instructional design, collaborative learning, intelligent learning systems, learning analytics, open, distance and networked learning, and educational evaluation and assessment. This is the case for formal (e.g., schools), non-formal (e.g., workplace learning) and informal learning (e.g., museums and libraries) situations and environments. Volumes often include one Special Issue which these provides readers with a broad and in-depth perspective on a specific topic. First published in 1985, JCAL continues to have the aim of making the outcomes of contemporary research and experience accessible. During this period there have been major technological advances offering new opportunities and approaches in the use of a wide range of technologies to support learning and knowledge transfer more generally. There is currently much emphasis on the use of network functionality and the challenges its appropriate uses pose to teachers/tutors working with students locally and at a distance. JCAL welcomes: -Empirical reports, single studies or programmatic series of studies on the use of computers and information technologies in learning and assessment -Critical and original meta-reviews of literature on the use of computers for learning -Empirical studies on the design and development of innovative technology-based systems for learning -Conceptual articles on issues relating to the Aims and Scope
