本研究调查了一个独特的在线科学教育游戏，不寻常的气味，知识的增益和态度的转变。开发该游戏是为了向中学生传授在环境科学背景下接触有毒化学品的生物后果，以及滥用这些化学品作为吸入剂的风险。中学生（n = 444）六年级至八年级参加了这项研究，包括一个前测试，三个游戏环节，和一个延迟后测试。玩游戏后，学生表现出显着的收益，在科学内容的知识，与游戏的可用性评级成为最强的预测测试后的内容知识得分。干预也导致了对吸入剂的更消极的态度的转变，最消极的转变发生在八年级学生和测试后的知识增益作为所有年级水平的态度变化的最强预测因素。这些研究结果表明，环境科学的方法使用的不寻常的气味是一个有效的战略，既提供基本的科学内容和影响感知的伤害有关的吸入有毒化学品从常见的家用产品。
This study investigated the knowledge gains and attitude shifts attributable to a unique online science education game, Uncommon Scents. The game was developed to teach middle school students about the biological consequences of exposure to toxic chemicals in an environmental science context, as well as the risks associated with abusing these chemicals as inhalants. Middle school students (n = 444) grades six through eight participated in the study consisting of a pre-test, three game-play sessions, and a delayed post-test. After playing the game, students demonstrated significant gains in science content knowledge, with game usability ratings emerging as the strongest predictor of post-test content knowledge scores. The intervention also resulted in a shift to more negative attitudes toward inhalants, with the most negative shift occurring among eighth grade students and post-test knowledge gains as the strongest predictor of attitude change across all grade levels. These findings suggest that the environmental science approach used in Uncommon Scents is an efficacious strategy for delivering both basic science content and influencing perceived harm relating to the inhalation of toxic chemicals from common household products.
