How Metacognitive Monitoring Feedback Influences Workload in a Location-Based Augmented Reality Environment

摘要

This research aims to investigate the impact on workload caused by metacognitive monitoring feedback (MCMF) in a location-based augmented reality (AR) learning environment. MCMF helps learners to monitor and control their cognitive processes and influences their learning behaviors. However, it should be studied further how MCMF affects student workload while using the AR system. In this study, we conducted an experiment to compare perceived mental workload between two groups (with MCMF vs. without MCMF). The results show that MCMF does not increase students' workload. It means that MCMF can be used effectively without workload increment while learning. The current study advanced our understanding of metacognitive strategies on subject interaction in a location-based AR environment. Furthermore, the study outcomes could develop better metacognitive strategies without increasing learners' workload in the AR environment.
