Abstract

This study intends to solve the problem that schools in Taiwan lack of the equipment for color management and inspection instruction and seek ways to improve learning results and reduce cognitive load. The researchers developed 3D courseware for color management and inspection through a research and development process. To further scrutinize the learning results generated by this courseware, 80 students were given 10-week-long experimental instructions into four groups each consisting of 20 students. Data collected from the experiment was subject to MANCOVA, and the findings suggested that students receiving lecture and instructions enabled by 3D courseware noticeably outdid the other three methods in learning results. The courseware developed for this study improved learning results while lowering the cognitive load. Findings from this study may benefit color management and inspection related trainings in colleges and industry.
