Exploring the primary school children’s air pollution environmental education learning effectiveness and air quality protection intention through augmented reality material and air quality monitor instrument

Abstract

In this paper, we develop air quality monitoring material based on the concept of Maker and using a simple and low-cost device development board, combined with temperature and humidity, PM 2.5 sensing elements. According to the teaching materials, the integration of the latest air pollution-related knowledge, the development of AR multimedia interactive teaching materials and monitoring instruction into the national air pollution environmental education in the environmental education courses of high degree students in the elementary school. This study compares learning motivation and learning performance of learning air pollution related knowledge and concept using different learning method, including multimedia teaching materials, air quality monitor instruments and augmented reality materials.
