The development of learning platform with mix reality technology in new energy vehicle teaching for undergraduate students

Abstract

The research objectives were to: 1) develop the learning platform of Mixed Reality Technology in New Energy Vehicle Teaching for undergraduate students, 2) compare pre-test and post-test scores of students after learning through the learning platform of Mixed Reality Technology in New Energy Vehicle Teaching for undergraduate students and 3) examine students’ satisfaction towards the learning platform of Mixed Reality Technology in New Energy Vehicle Teaching. The population was students registered in 1901 and 1902 classes of New Energy Vehicles of Mechanical Engineering College of Sichuan University of Light Chemical Industry, China who were selected as the sample group of the Mixed Reality classes, with a total of 30 students. The research instruments consisted of the video clips on social media shared via the application, the evaluation form regarding the quality of media and contents, the pre-and post-training competency assessment form, and the evaluation form regarding student’s satisfaction towards the digital technology. Statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation and t-test for dependent samples. The research results showed that: 1) the learning platform of Mixed Reality Technology in New Energy Vehicle Teaching had the quality of media at an excellent level with the average score of 4.70 and the quality of contents was at an excellent level with the average score of 4.87. 2) The students had the average pre-test score of 12.25 and post-test score of 15.95, respectively. It was found that the post-test scores were higher than the pre-test scores with the statistical significance level of .05 and 3) the students overall satisfied with the learning platform of Mixed Reality Technology in New Energy Vehicle Teaching at a high level with the average score of 4.50.
