ABSTRACT

Smart education and ubiquitous learning have come over globally, especially under coronavirus regime. Visual media and interactive operation can draw children’s attention and interests, so the VR educational software becomes a prominent trend for training children. However, in K12 education, the VR technology is just in its initial period. In the face of global coronavirus context, and children’s visual learning characteristics, training preservice teachers with abilities to develop the VR educational software is crucial. In the project, it designs the VR course for preservice teachers in applied university that cultivates preservice teachers, trains them to develop the VR educational software, and enables them to develop it. It designs the VR course to accomplish the above two objectives in two aspects: creating PBL-based VR teaching cases to give them a sense of achievement and leading them to develop the VR educational software as the summarizing test. The results are presented in three views. Firstly, their developed VR educational software shows that the PBL cases are effective in training students’ ability of developing the VR educational software. Secondly, it investigates the effectiveness of PBL-based VR course by t-test. Finally, it surveys their satisfaction for the course, ideas about what other technologies they want to learn, what subjects they want to develop for, and what types of software they want to design to guide course research in the future.

摘要

智慧教育和无处不在的学习已经在全球范围内兴起，特别是在冠状病毒统治下。视觉媒体和交互操作能够吸引孩子的注意力和兴趣，因此VR教育软件成为培养孩子的一个突出趋势。然而，在K12教育中，VR技术还处于起步阶段。面对全球新冠疫情的背景，以及儿童视觉学习的特点，培养具备VR教育软件开发能力的职前教师至关重要。本项目设计了应用型大学职前教师VR课程，培养职前教师，培训其开发VR教育软件，并赋能其开发。设计VR课程从两个方面来实现上述两个目标：创建基于PBL的VR教学案例，让他们有成就感，并带领他们开发VR教育软件作为总结测试。结果以三个视图呈现。首先，他们开发的VR教育软件表明，PBL案例对于培养学生开发VR教育软件的能力是有效的。其次，通过t检验考察基于PBL的VR课程的有效性。最后，它调查了他们对课程的满意度、他们想要学习哪些其他技术、他们想要开发什么主题以及他们想要设计什么类型的软件来指导未来的课程研究。他们开发的VR教育软件表明，PBL案例对于培养学生开发VR教育软件的能力是有效的。其次，通过t检验考察基于PBL的VR课程的有效性。最后，它调查了他们对课程的满意度、他们想要学习哪些其他技术、他们想要开发什么主题以及他们想要设计什么类型的软件来指导未来的课程研究。他们开发的VR教育软件表明，PBL案例对于培养学生开发VR教育软件的能力是有效的。其次，通过t检验考察基于PBL的VR课程的有效性。最后，它调查了他们对课程的满意度、他们想要学习哪些其他技术、他们想要开发什么主题以及他们想要设计什么类型的软件来指导未来的课程研究。
