The Study of Augmented Reality Typhoon Resilience Education for Elementary Special Education Students: A Case Study in Taiwan

Spring C. Hsu, Ya-Ting Chang

Abstract: Every year, the period from July to September is the active typhoon season for Taiwan, often bringing numerous disasters that cause loss of life and property damage to the public. However, in traditional educational settings, most children have only a basic understanding of typhoons. They don't know how to react when a typhoon approaches, and they don't know how to deal with the aftermath. Therefore, this study conducted an analysis of teaching effectiveness by integrating augmented reality (AR) into picture books and using 5th-6th grade special education students from an elementary school in New Taipei City as the teaching subjects. The students were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction through AR-integrated picture books, while the control group received traditional teaching methods. Statistical tests were also used to examine the difference in students' learning outcomes. The results of the study indicate that integrating AR into typhoon resilience education significantly improves students' learning outcomes; in addition, it increases students' motivation in the classroom and facilitates positive peer interactions.
