Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to construct an E situated learning system using problem-based situated learning methods, in order to increase learning efficiency. The design of the system can be divided into two parts: (1) the development of the learning platform, devising materials management and interactive learning interfaces, helping teachers create multimedia teaching materials that target different clinical problems. (2) Development of the learning assessment indicator system, which includes consolidating learning indicators, analyzing the learner´s route of learning, and providing teachers the learning results as a feedback. In order to verify that the electronic situated learning system is able to help increase a student´s observational and judgmental strengths, pre and post-tests were conducted. The results indicated that (1) the average learning time was reduced by 46%, and (2) by providing students with different cases with the same manifestations, the rate of correctness increased from 66.5% in the pre-tests to 70.25% in the post-tests. From the analysis of the experimental results, it was found that problem-based situated learning is able to strengthen the students´ observational and judgmental capabilities.
