Abstract

The rapidly increasing use of digital media technologies offers students opportunities to represent science content in different ways. In this paper, we introduce an interdisciplinary and collaborative research project that engages students in learning both science and technology by developing educational videos for science explanation. In this project, students from the Digital Media course are paired with students from the Introductory Physics I course. They work together to create videos with blended digital media, such as images, animations, audio, and videos, to explain physics concepts and phenomena. The strategies for successfully conducting such an interdisciplinary project are discussed in the paper. The assessment results demonstrate the effectiveness of this project in student learning regarding understanding physics concepts, understanding the importance of digital media, and using digital media technologies. Results also show that this interdisciplinary project enhances students' communication skills and help them to learn skills and knowledge in the other STEM field by working together.

利用学生制作的教育视频吸引学生学习科学和技术

数字媒体技术的使用迅速增加，为学生提供了以不同方式表达科学内容的机会。在本文中，我们介绍了一个跨学科的合作研究项目，通过制作科学解释的教育视频来吸引学生学习科学和技术。在这个项目中，来自数字媒体课程的学生与来自物理入门I课程的学生配对。他们一起工作，制作视频与混合数字媒体，如图像，动画，音频和视频，以解释物理概念和现象。本文讨论了成功开展这样一个跨学科项目的策略。评估结果显示本计画在学生学习理解物理概念、了解数位媒体的重要性和使用数位媒体技术方面的有效性。结果还表明，这个跨学科的项目提高了学生的沟通能力，并通过合作帮助他们学习其他STEM领域的技能和知识。
