3D in education

Professor Anne Bamford, director of the International Research Agency, explores 3D in the classroom and its potential as a teaching and learning tool. The research shows that the children respond better to visual stimulus and suggest 3D can achieve better engagement.

The results of the research indicate a marked positive effect of the use of 3D animations on learning, recall and performance in tests. Under experimental conditions, 86% of pupils improved from the pre-test to the post-test in the 3D classes, compared to only 52% who improved in the 2D classes. Within the individuals who improved, the rate of improvement was also much greater in the classes with the 3D. Individuals improved test scores by an average of 17% in the 3D classes, compared to only an 8% improvement in the 2D classes between pre-test and post-test
