| The goal of the current study was to test the effect of a 3D interactive model on conceptual learning. Eighty-two participants were randomly assigned to a text with images, text with images and video, or text with images and 3D interactive model condition. In the end, after controlling for prior knowledge, and aptitude at learning, the 3D interactive model proved to be effective at improving conceptual learning. The 3D interactive model group scored almost two times higher than the text with images group on the conceptual post-test. The 3D interactive model group also showed a trend towards better performance than the video group, scoring nearly 1.5 times higher on the conceptual post-test. |
