植物的認知及學習，大部分是利用文字、圖片或多媒體等型式，支援在教室中進行教學活動，因為缺少對植物實際觀察，導致學生對植物認識有限，所學習到的知識也難以內化為長期記憶。行動學習應用在教育方面已有許多成功的案例。但對植物的教學多數的研究及產品仍以平面電子書的型式呈現，若能加入立體3D的模型，透過全方位的視角，從觀察中更容易的了解與認識植物整體構造，有助於行動學習活動中，於戶外發現植物的地方，協助更深入的觀察學習。
本論文建構一套結合3D模型與電子書之3D植物觀察系統，使用Shiva 3D遊戲開發軟體結合Android平台，能在智慧型手機(Smart Phone)、PDA(Personal Digital Assistant，個人數位助理)、平板電腦上使用。透過智慧型手機內建的觸控螢幕，設計能在自由翻轉、縮放、移動的3D植物操作環境，並能透過Android的攝影鏡頭掃描賣場中的二維條碼，辨識種類並給予教學內容。最後以自製的測驗，分析有無使用3D模型操作的學習成效差異。
本論文共有43位學習者參與實驗，區分為使用僅電子書的對照組和增加3D植物觀察系統的實驗組。以前後測方式記錄學習成就。實驗結果可觀察出，使用3D植物觀察系統的學習者，確實有更好的成效。這也表示透過增加3D模型操作環境，對於植物教育有所幫助。

Text and pictures are the most popular multi-media formats, which are employed in the botanic curriculums. However, there are some issues and limitations for representing the outlook and the related knowledge of plants in 2D based paper or computer monitor. Therefore, students need to observe the real plants after reading the curriculums for enhancing learning performance and keeping the botanic knowledge in long-term-memory.
The real plants in the wild filed somehow do not support students to observe the whole outlook, especially the parts which are burying underground. Even in the supermarket, most of the plants are pre-processed before sold, thus students may have difficulty of finding the plants and observing the whole and original outlook of plants after the botanic course.
This thesis constructs a 3D plant observation system in mobile platform via Shiva 3D development software. Students could observe 11 whole-outlook plants by interactive operations like zoom-in, zoom-out and rotation in the mobile devices when observing the real plants in fields or in supermarkets. 43 students participated the experiments to analyze the difference of learning performance between 2D based e-Book and interactive 3D based mobile learning. The results illustrate that students have better learning achievement and learning motivation in 3D based learning than 2D based e-Book.
