3D animation increases attention and concentration in pupils during the lesson
A new study shows that using of 3D animations during the lessons increases the concentration and retain more information in pupils.
Professor Anne Bamford, of the University of the Arts, London, studied the effects of 3D animations in 15 schools among 740 pupils aged 10-11, across 7 countries.
In every school, one class studied science in the usual manner, another used 3D contents. The scientists tested the pupils before and after the experiment.
The study showed that pupils in 3D classes could remember more than the ordinary classes after 4 weeks, augmenting test scores by an average 17% compared with 8% for ordinary lessons.
They gave more 'elaborate' answers to open-ended tasks and were more likely to 'think' in 3D, using hand gestures and 'mime' to 'successfully answer the test questions'.
There was the significant improvement in test scores. The teachers said that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding, increased attention, more motivation and higher engagement.
