論文摘要:
This study describes a smart classroom system that integrates near field communication (NFC) technology
to automate attendance management, locate students, and provide real-time student feedback. The
proposed system’s attendance management feature can conserve time and reduce paper-work because
students use their NFC-enabled smartphones or NFC smart cards to register their attendance automatically.
Also, the system’s student-positioning feature is particularly useful for teaching large classes
because teachers typically experience difficulties in both recognizing students and familiarizing themselves
with their students’ learning progress. In addition, the real-time feedback function could be beneficial
especially for Asian students because they are usually reluctant to express their opinions during
class. This study also evaluates the proposed system’s effect on students’ attitude toward science education
by applying relevant theories. Our case study of a computer science course shows that the attitudes
of students toward computer science generally improved following the implementation of the proposed
system. Because more than half of the measures from the aspects of learning computer science at school
and importance of computer science are positive and significant, this indicates that students find computer
science more interesting, expecting, exciting, beneficial, helpful, and appealing after the using
the proposed system.
