Abstract

ABSTRACT This study is to examine the effects of AR Game-based science learning on students’ engagement, learning performance, and satisfaction towards physics learning. Based on the marker-based AR technology, an Augmented Reality Game-based Science Learning (ARGSL) system was designed and developed to support students’ physics learning. A quasi-experimental design with two experimental groups and a control group was implemented. The sample of the study included 155 seventh graders from a middle school in eastern China. Results supported that the ARGSL enhanced students learning interaction, performance, and satisfaction compared with the game-based and book-based learning methods. The semi-structured interviews found that the AR technology was widely accepted by students for its usefulness, realness, interest, and interactivity. The AR visualized the virtual magnetic field which makes the difficult physics concept easy to understand. The challenges caused by the AR also give us some implications for AR-supported science education.

增强现实游戏学习对学生参与的影响

本研究旨在探讨基于AR游戏的科学学习对学生物理学习投入、学习表现和满意度的影响。基于基于标记的AR技术，设计并开发了增强现实游戏科学学习(ARGSL)系统，以支持学生的物理学习。采用准实验设计，设2个实验组和1个对照组。该研究的样本包括155名来自中国东部一所中学的七年级学生。结果表明，与基于游戏和书本的学习方法相比，ARGSL提高了学生的学习交互性、学习成绩和满意度。半结构化访谈发现，AR技术因其实用性、真实性、趣味性和交互性而被学生广泛接受。AR将虚拟磁场可视化，使复杂的物理概念变得容易理解。AR带来的挑战也给AR支持的科学教育带来了一些启示。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Science Education Part B: Communication and Public Engagement will address the communication between and the engagement by individuals and groups concerning evidence-based information about the nature, outcomes, and social consequences, of science and technology. The journal will aim: -To bridge the gap between theory and practice concerning the communication of evidence-based information about the nature, outcomes, and social consequences of science and technology; -To address the perspectives on communication about science and technology of individuals and groups of citizens of all ages, scientists and engineers, media persons, industrialists, policy makers, from countries throughout the world; -To promote rational discourse about the role of communication concerning science and technology in private, social, economic and cultural aspects of life
