Description
Summary:碩士 === 南臺科技大學 === 資訊工程系 === 104 === People spend lifetime in learning. Learners can learn knowledge or review more efficiently through the convenience and auxiliary of technology. From the research of many scholars, we learned the importance of attention and concentration. After learner's attention is aroused and concentrates in learning, knowledge can be gradually turned into long-term memory stored in mind. In this study, we use brainwave signals to measure the attention of learners reading different difficulty levels of digital and traditional learning materials. Also, we discuss the cognitive load and the learning performance. During the experiments, we arrange learners to take breaks and relax. The results showed that learners concentrate better on digital materials than traditional printed materials. Same results are for the learning materials of App and Algorithm. Digital materials achieve better learning performance than traditional printed materials do. The higher the cognitive load, the lower Relaxation value is measured. When learners try to empty their mind to meditation, we measured that they appeared totally relaxed and it helped to rest. In the Lightning Round, we asked the learners to answer some easy questions quickly. It shows that the learners focus the same on either easy questions or those need thinking. The results can be used as a reference for teachers.
