A Study of the Effect of Pupils' Learning Achievement on Project-based Learning with Context Awareness Technology

This study would like to find out the pupils' learning achievement on the context awareness PBL (Project-Based Learning) activity to identify the different herb plants in the campus. We implemented a context awareness mobile learning environment with RFID and Wi-Fi technologies. The result of the study showed that the five dimensions scores of experiment group are higher than the controlled group, because the experiment group can access learning materials on the web site immediately, and search more relevant information about the herbs on the internet, the works of the experiment group emerge more creative ideas and interesting learning. The pupils' PBL artifacts showed that there are no significant differences in gender and performance factors. The low achievement students could get the assistance from the context awareness mechanisms, and after the members of the team discussed their opinions, they also get a great performance in identifying the herbs and their artifacts.
