分子視覺化擴增實境手機應用程式用於蛋白質功能與結構學習成效之研究

Abstract

蛋白質為細胞中最具多樣性的生物分子之一。蛋白質功能和結構涉及動態圖像和模型，以講義或投影片等方式難以完整說明蛋白質的複雜性和動態性。本計畫「分子視覺化擴增實境手機應用程式用於蛋白質功能與結構學習成效之研究」擬導入擴增實境對於瞭解蛋白質(或其他生物分子)功能和結構的新教學方法。在這項研究計畫中，將以食品科學系大三的選修課程「蛋白化學」為計畫配合課程。研究樣品人數約50人。計畫將著重探索並比較投影片配合口述及分子視覺化擴增實境手機應用程式導入的教學方法對學生的投入層面及學習成效的影響，擬導入擴增實境的新教材包含「蛋白質3D結構與我們的週邊環境」、「蛋白質也可以像手指」及「原來蛋白質功能可以看得到」等。根據學生問卷回饋，有84.7% 的學生表示使用擴增實境手機APP後，理解蛋白質與其他分子間的交互作用方式，大於未使用前的36.3%。此外，有63.7% 的學生願意再次使用分子視覺化分子視覺化擴增實境手機應用程式來協助學習，顯示使用分子視覺化擴增實境手機應用程式後，能幫助學生在學習蛋白質功能與結構上有更好的學習成效，並提升對課堂內容之興趣。 Protein is one of the most diverse biomolecules in cells. The functions and structures of proteins involve dynamic changes and models, and it is difficult to fully explain the complexity and dynamics of proteins through lecture notes or slides. This project "Research on the Learning Effect of Protein Function and Structure Using Molecular Visualization Augmented Reality Mobile Application" aims to introduce augmented reality as a new teaching method for understanding the function and structure of proteins. In this research project, the elective course Protein Chemistry in the Department of Food Science will be used as the course to implement the project. The study will involve approximately 50 participants. The project will focus on exploring and comparing the impact of teaching methods using slides with oral narration and molecular visualization augmented reality mobile application on the students' engagement and learning outcomes. The new teaching materials to be introduced with augmented reality include "Protein 3D Structure and Our Surrounding Environment,” “Proteins Can Also Be Like Fingers, “ and “It Turns Out We Can See Protein Function. ” According to student survey feedback, 84.7% of students indicated that after using the augmented reality mobile app, they understood the interaction mechanisms between proteins and other molecules better, compared to 36.3% before using it. Additionally, 63.7% of students expressed willingness to use the molecular visualization augmented reality mobile application again to assist their learning, showing that using the molecular visualization augmented reality mobile application can help students achieve better learning outcomes in understanding protein function and structure, and increase their interest in classroom content.
