| Popis: | 106 The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of various forms of virtual reality experiments in physics on learning effects and attitudes toward science of junior high school students in remote areas. In this study, quasi-experimental research was adopted, and two classes of 9th graders in remote area in New Taipei City were chosen as participants. Desktop virtual reality experiement was adopted in one class and the immersion virtual reality experiement was in the other. A quantitative method was mainly used to collect and analyze data. Besides, the two experiments were administered in the science class for the 9th graders who were taught the leverage unit. Finally, the lever principle learning test and questionnaire of science attitudes were administered to the participants. Before the experiments, all the participants were given the pre-test of the lever principle learning and the questionnaire of science attitudes. After the experiments finished, they were given the post-test of the lever principle learning and the questionnaire of science attitudes. Then, the data was analyzed by Paired t-Test and ANCOVA to examine whether there were significant differences between the two classes on the attitudes towards science and the learning effectiveness. The conclusions are as follows: 1. The two forms of experiments can significantly enhance the students’ attitudes towards science. Furthermore, they have positive influence on students especially in their confidence to learn science, the practicability of science, the motivation for science, and the attitudes towards science. 2. The two forms of experiments can improve and enhance the students’ learning effects. 3. There are no significant differences between the two forms of experiments on the attitudes towards science and the learning effects. Based on the conclusions above, some suggestions were made to the future research. |
