碩士 === 國立臺中科技大學 === 資訊管理系碩士班 === 104 === In recent years, many researchers indicate that augmented reality (AR) with inquiry-based science education is an effective learning strategy. This learning approach is focused on the link between previous and new knowledge, and therefore researchers also use the concept map strategy to help students integrate concepts. But there are some researchers indicates that the concept maps made learning more difficult. In addition, we use the tools of Vuforia AR SDK and Unity 3D to develop an augmented reality (AR) learning system on the android device in this study. The concept map is applied into augmented reality learning system to assist students to organize and learn the knowledge of insects in the Science education. The participants in this study were third to fifth-grade elementary school students in Northern Taiwan. The experimental group comprised 22 students who used AR interactive concept map learning system, and the control group comprised 21 students who used traditional AR learning system, both of these two groups also accept the inquiry based learning to learn insects courses about stag beetles and rhinoceros beetle. Although the results in this study revealed that the students who used AR interactive concept map learning system was not significantly higher than students who used traditional AR learning system in both inquiry based learning behaviors and learning motivation, but the concept can reduce the study load and enhance learning effect in experimental group.
