孩子们带着对行星现象的广泛误解进入课堂。传统的教学方法往往不能克服这些困难，我们认为这可能是因为缺乏适当的教具。本研究的目的是设计和开发一个教育虚拟环境，以支持行星现象的教学，特别是地球和太阳的运动、昼夜循环和季节变化。我们的互动三维（3D）虚拟环境是基于102名中学生的实证研究的结果，并为学生提供新的经验，个人参与和近距离检查的现象正在研究。我们使用虚拟环境后的第一个结果表明，大多数学生热衷于与它互动，并修改了他们对昼夜周期和季节变化的误解。
Children enter the classroom with a wide range of misconceptions about planetary phenomena. Conventional teaching methods usually cannot overcome these difficulties, which we consider may be because of the lack of appropriate teaching aids. The purpose of the present study is the design and development of an educational virtual environment for the support of the teaching of planetary phenomena, particularly of the movements of the Earth and Sun, the day and night cycle and the change of seasons. Our interactive three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment was based on the results of an empirical study of 102 secondary school students and provides students with new experiences, personal involvement and close-up examination of the phenomena under study. Our first results after the use of the virtual environment showed that the majority of students enthused about interacting with it and modified their misconceptions concerning the day-night cycle and the change of seasons.
