Evaluation of fisheries and marine skill mobile learning system using the ARCS model in fisheries high schools and the search for a system component to motivate learning

Abstract

In 2019, we proposed an industry-school education skill succession (I-SSS) process and used it to develop a fisheries and marine skill learning system. In this study, we evaluate the appeal of the teaching materials in this system by using the ARCS motivation model from the perspective of learning motivation and search for the components of this system that would motivate learning. We used a teaching material evaluation sheet based on the ARCS motivation model to conduct a survey of students at a fisheries high school after using this system. From the results, we obtained many positive answers with all ARCS model factors, which confirmed that our proposed system had a high degree of usefulness for students. In addition, the results of the factor analysis on the motivation factor for student's learning show that the following the components lead to increased motivation for learning: "Procedure confirmation image, Presentation of finished form", "Basic skills listed in textbooks", "Explanation of practicality of skills", "Explanation of the relevance of skills and work/Qualification", and "Adoption of terms in textbooks, Easy-to-understand expressions".
