* 通讯作者 摘要 研究人员针对将无线通信和普适计算技术应用于教育进行了各种研究，以便这些技术能够为学习者和教育者提供更加主动和适应性的支持。本研究提出了一种无处不在的绩效支持系统（UPSS），可以促进在学校环境中无缝使用强大的新技术。为了帮助读者在实践中直观地了解这些新技术，我们提供了一个由 UPSS 主办的蝴蝶生态培训课程的案例研究。该案例研究的目的是为上下文感知普适计算系统及其学习材料的设计和开发提供信息。研究探究围绕三个主题：(1) 教师数据驱动决策的关键特征；(2) 教师和学生对 UPSS 的看法；(3) 实施问题。两轮形成性评估的结果表明 UPSS 在动机、互动性和有效性方面产生了积极的影响。此外，教师对UPSS使用的态度和教学方法是成功实施这种创新技术教学的两个关键因素。对于那些有兴趣将上下文感知普适计算应用于教育环境的研究的人来说，这项研究可以作为有用的参考。最后，本研究提出了对未来研究和系统开发的建议和启示。
* Corresponding author ABSTRACT Researchers have conducted various studies on applying wireless communication and ubiquitous computing technologies to education, so that the technologies can provide learners and educators with more active and adaptive support. This study proposes a Ubiquitous Performance-support System (UPSS) that can facilitate the seamless use of powerful new technologies in the school setting. In order to help the readers visualize these novel technologies in practice, we present one case study of a butterfly-ecology training course facilitated by the UPSS. The aim behind the case study is to inform the design and the development of context-aware ubiquitous computing system and its learning materials. The research inquiry centers around three themes: (1) the critical features to the data-driven decision making of teachers, (2) the perceptions of teachers and students to the UPSS, and (3) implementation issues. The results of the two rounds of formative evaluation indicate positive effects of the UPSS regarding motivation, interactivity, and effectiveness. In addition, teachers' attitudes and teachers' pedagogical approaches toward UPSS use are two key factors in the successful implementation of teaching with such innovative technology. This study can be a useful reference for those who are interested in conducting studies applying context-aware ubiquitous computing to educational contexts. Finally, this study presents suggestions and implications for future research and system development.
