第二人生（SL）是一个在线虚拟世界，具有教学应用程序，如数字讲故事，角色扮演和社区参与。作为一个基于网络的学习平台，“第二人生”已经得到了地球仪教育工作者的关注，然而，这还没有在当地的教育环境中进行探索。在一个环境中，一个有效的学习转移正在成为一个挑战，在技术进步，本研究提出了使用第二人生作为一个基于网络的学习平台，提供课堂教学的高中学生年龄在16-17岁。本研究旨在探讨使用第二人生对学习者学业成就的影响。受访者来自一所城市资助的当地大学，包括两个部分，每个部分由30名具有相似认知能力的学生组成，其中一组使用传统方法，另一组使用第二人生作为学习平台。在本研究中，非SL组的计算平均值为20.10，SL组为29.93。根据熟练程度，这表明在学业后成就方面，就学生达到优秀水平的频率而言，SL组的77%明显高于非SL组的0%。课堂教学可能具有挑战性，但将技术作为21世纪世纪学习的一部分，这对教师和学生都是一个优势。
Second Life (SL) is an online virtual world with pedagogical applications such as digital storytelling, role-playing, and community engagement. As a web-based learning platform, Second Life has already gained the attention of educators around the globe, however, this has not been explored yet in the local educational setting. In an environment where an efficient and effective transfer of learning is becoming a challenge amidst technological advancements, this studyproposes the use of Second Life as a web-based learning platform in delivering classroom instruction for senior high school students aging 16-17 years old. This study aims to identify the effect of using Second Life in the academic achievement of the learners. The respondents were from a city-funded local university involving two sections comprised of 30 students each with similar cognitive ability, where one of the groups used the traditional approach and the other used Second Life as a learning platform. In this study, the computed mean value for the non-SL group was 20.10 and 29.93 for the SL group. Based on the level of proficiency, this showed a significantly higher post-academic achievement with 77% of the SL group as compared to the 0% of the non-SL group in terms of the frequency of students at the outstanding level. The delivery of classroom instruction, which may be challenging but incorporating technology as a part of the 21st century learning, will be an advantage to both the teacher and the students.
