The participants were 117 eighth students separated to four classes from a junior school at Hsinchu city. The results showed that the students taught by computerized RPG game-based teaching model made progress on environmental sensitivities, environmental concepts, and environmental experiences, and were also better than the students taught by traditional lecture-style teaching. Second, it find that the students both taught by computerized RPG game-based teaching model and traditional lecture-style teaching made progress on environmental attitudes, environmental actions. And it also find that the scores, which equal to the post-scores minus pretest-scores on these two capability indexes, the students taught by computerized RPG game-based teaching model, are higher than the others. On these two capability index, we can also find that horizontal transfer happened on the students taught by computerized RPG game-based teaching model. Third, we find that students taught by computerized RPG game-based teaching model have much more interested on environmental conservation curriculum than taught by traditional lecture-style teaching.
