In this study, we designed an augmented reality application for Chinese ancient poetry teaching. The application designed in this paper presents a scene depicted of the ancient poem Jiangxue, accompanied by music and recitation sound. In addition, when students touch a specific object on the screen, the character will interact accordingly. Based on this application, this study investigates whether augmented reality learning can improve students’ learning effect and what factors of immersion affect the learning outcome in a mixed experimental way.
The core of situational teaching is to arouse students’ emotion which is widely applicable to ancient poetry teaching. The traditional teaching method of ancient poetry often disintegrates the poems, making it difficult for students to apprehend the reason or be touched by the scene depicted. Chinese ancient poetry teaching should pay more attention to the understanding of image and artistic conception as well as the aesthetic cultivation. Jiangxue, using many images to construct artistic conception, is a classical teaching case for primary poetry teaching and aesthetic cultivation. Taking Jiangxue as a case study, it can well teach students to comprehend the emotional color attached to and experience multiple images in the form of overall artistic conception.
