Abstract
As a result of conducting a questionnaire about science classes to high school students in 2016, the percentage of high school students who answered "I like science" and "Science is important" is lower than other subjects. However, more than 80% of elementary and junior high school students said they like experiments and observations. In addition, the 2019 smartphone penetration rate survey found that it is popular among about 90% of students. In addition, VR technology has recently made remarkable progress. From the above, I researched the idea that creating a simulation application using VR technology using smartphones would change the way high school students think about science classes. In this paper, we have developed a simulation application for science experiments. Subjects were asked to experience the newly created app and complete a questionnaire. As a result, the average score is 4 out of 5 and it is not bad. But at the same time, a problem was found. The problem was that this app was a simulation app, so there wasn't much user operability, so I wanted a little more operability. I want to make apps in other fields while improving the problem.
Highlights
In the materials related to science surveyed by the ScienceWorking Group in 2016, it was found that the percentage of high school students who answered "I like studying science" and "It is important to study science" is lower than other subjects [1]
In light of the above, the purpose of this research is to contribute to education by creating a science simulation application using VR technology to solve the current situation where science experiments are not sufficiently conducted
An evaluation experiment was conducted to verify whether the developed science experiment simulation app was useful
Summary
Working Group in 2016, it was found that the percentage of high school students who answered "I like studying science" and "It is important to study science" is lower than other subjects [1]. The percentage of elementary and junior high school students who answered "I like experiments and observations" exceeds 80% [2]. Not enough science experiments are being conducted. The main reasons for not conducting science experiments are lack of time, equipment, and space for preparation and cleanup [3]. A survey of smartphone penetration in 2019 showed that about 90% of students have one [4]. Each classroom is equipped with a computer for teachers. Under these circumstances, it is believed that the educational effects can be further enhanced in various classes
