The Learning Effect of Teaching Materials Using Computer Animation of Particulate Model in Elementary School Science Classes

초등학교 과학 수업에 적용한 입자 모델의 컴퓨터 애니메이션 교수자료의 학습 효과

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of computer animations using particulate model in elementary science classes related to air pressure. To do those, four classes of 5th grade in an elementary school located in a city were selected. As an experiment group, two classes were applied the teaching materials of computer animations developed for this study based on particulate model. The other classes as a control group were not applied these materials in science classes. The total scores of experiment group in which computer animation using particulate model was applied in science classes are higher than those of the control group in the conception test. Only in one conception related to high and low atmospheric air pressure, the scores of the two groups are not significantly different at 0.05 significance level.
