Research on Head-Mounted Virtual Reality and Computational Thinking Experiments to Improve the Learning Effect of AIoT Maker Course: Case of Earthquake Relief Scenes

Abstract

In this study, the head-mounted virtual reality (VR) technology is adpoted for computational thinking teaching in the AIoT Maker course teaching. The earthquake relief situation is designed in the VR in the course scenario, because in the context of situational thinking, pre-emptive training in the face of emergency disasters has been conducted through observation meetings or training courses. Through listening to lecturers or experienced personnel to share experiences, students often have a harder time thinking about real scenes and it is harder to think creatively how to design with the emergency disaster response. In view of this, this research will combine the development and evaluation of earthquake relief training courses for head-mounted VR and computational thinking experiments to explore the use of VR and computational thinking experiments to drive students to create ideas for real disaster relief scenarios. Through computational thinking, students think about different script situations and discuss in each scene to find a suitable maker design of the AIoT project. Finally, this study combined with its modular space program training to develop students' programming skills. According to the experiment, this study is able to strength students' practical learning motivation, and follow-up employ ability training for course learning.

A Strategy of Learning Computational Thinking through Game Based in Virtual Reality: Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework

“…Table 3 shows the objectives classification based on the pedagogical types. CT acts as a strategy of learning means utilizing or incorporating CT concepts for an approach to tackle the problem as the research conducted by Lai et al (2019) and Chen et al (2020). Lai et al (2019) integrate the concept of CT education into a course on plot image-based VR.…”

“…Students also can improve their knowledge, abilities, and change their perceptions about who computer scientists are and what they actually do (Leonard et al, 2020). Additionally, students are also motivated and unleash their ability to think more creatively and differently to solve a problem (Chen et al, 2020).…”

“…Along with the advance of CS and its applications today, many studies reported that integrate CT into school curricula would benefit students learning processes, both cognitive and non-cognitive aspects (Hooshyar et al, 2021;Malva et al, 2020;Román-González et al, 2017). Lot of tools and devices used for teaching CT are becoming more diverse, from visual block-based programming like Scratch, Blockly, Kodu, Construct 2, and App Invertor (Zhang & Nouri, 2019), as far as augmented reality (AR) (Cleto et al, 2020) and virtual reality (VR) application (Chen et al, 2020). Additionally, strategies adopted for learning CT are also varying, for example, project-based learning, problembased learning, cooperative learning, and game-based learning (GBL) (Hsu et al, 2018).…”

Exploring Computational Thinking Skills Training Through Augmented Reality and AIoT Learning

“…However, due to its diverse applications and complex environments, AIoT often results in students' lack of familiarity with the application fields, or it involves a flat design, which leads students to explore problems at insufficient depths and/or choose to ignore certain parts of the problem. For example, in smart agriculture, different environments and crops should be taken into account when considering deployment and the choice of sensors; failure to do so can lead to poor overall learning outcomes (Lai et al, 2019 ; Chen et al, 2020 ).…”

A virtuális valóság mint szimulációs módszer alkalmazása a telepített sürgősségi egységek, valamint COVID–19-kórházak személyzetének képzésében

“…A gyakornokok megtapasztalhatják, hogyan nehezítik meg a mindennapi kórházi tevékenységeket ezek a szabályozások. Saját átalakítási tervek létrehozásával a háromdimenziós virtuális térben várhatóan sokkal nagyobb mértékű elfogadási és helyes alkalmazási arányt érünk el, mivel a saját projektek készítésével megtapasztalják ezeknek a járványtani szabályozásoknak a kivitelezési nehézségeit [29]. Egy jövőbeli kutatási célkitűzésünk az említett feltételezés tudományos alátámasztása.…”
