Can Mixed Reality(MR)Improve Learning Effectiveness?——A Meta-Analysis Based on 23 Experiments and Quasi-Experiments
There is no consensus on whether Mixed Reality(MR)can effectively improve learners'learning effectiveness and how it can be utilized to achieve ideal teaching results.In view of this,this paper searches,screens and systematically analyzes 23 relevant(quasi-)experimental studies at home and abroad in the past ten years.The results show that:(1)from the perspective of comprehensive impact,MR has a moderately positive impact on learning effectiveness;(2)in terms of the phase of studying,MR has the greatest impact on elementary school and below,and the smallest impact on secondary schools;(3)seen from the academic disciplines,the impact of MR on medical and nursing classes is the most significant;(4)speaking of the teaching methods,MR combined with the didactic method can significantly improve learning effectiveness;(5)as for the teaching objectives,MR also has a moderately positive impact on the learning outcomes of knowledge and skill-based teaching objectives.
