Description
Summary:Suspended particles are a major component of outdoor air pollution, and cause great harm to human health. Children should be aware of environmental pollution issues and know how to protect themselves. This study developed two kinds of learning aids, augmented reality (AR) and the Internet of things (IoT), for environmental education. A total of 90 students participated in this experiment. The experiment time was 120 minutes. The results of the study showed that all two learning approaches can significantly improve students' knowledge of air pollution. In terms of learning satisfaction, there was no significant difference between the VR and IoT groups.
