요약 | Evidence suggests that Augmented Reality (AR) may be a powerful tool for alleviating certain, lightly held scientific misconceptions. However, many misconceptions surrounding the theory of evolution are deeply held and resistant to change. This study examines whether AR can serve as an effective tool for alleviating these misconceptions by comparing the change in the number of misconceptions expressed by users of a tablet-based version of a well-established classroom simulation to the change in the number of misconceptions expressed by users of AR versions of the simulation.The use of realistic representations of objects is common for many AR developers. However, this contradicts well-tested practices of multimedia design that argue against the addition of unnecessary elements. This study also compared the use of representational visualizations in AR, in this case, models of ladybug beetles, to symbolic representations, in this case, colored circles.To address both research questions, a one-factor, between-subjects experiment was conducted with 189 participants randomly assigned to one of three conditions: non AR, symbolic AR, and representational AR. Measures of change in the number and types of misconceptions expressed, motivation, and time on task were examined using a pair of planned orthogonal contrasts designed to test the study's two research questions.Participants in the AR-based condition showed a significantly smaller change in the number of total misconceptions expressed after the treatment as well as in the number of misconceptions related to intentionality |
