This thesis looks at the development of a physical 3D learning model designed
to introduce key stage 3 students to the basics of SolidWorks with the ultimate
aim of developing the model to a level where schools can use it in the education
of students.
The purpose of this thesis is to identify any problems with the author’s final year
undergraduate project (a three-dimensional card model of Tower Bridge, which
features instructions to help teach the fundamentals of SolidWorks), and to create
a new learning material based on those findings.
The creation of the new learning material was in part based on feedback during
visits to local secondary schools. Small scale user trials were also conducted
throughout the product development in order to gain first-hand insight into how
the solution was meeting its objectives, i.e. being a viable learning pack for
Secondary Schools.
The overall project aim was to create 3 – Dimensional teaching material designed
to assist in classrooms for secondary education. This aim was partially realised
in that a clear and concise learning path was created. However, due to lack of
engagement from local secondary schools it was not feasible to conduct user
trials. These trials and subsequent review have been suggested as possible
future work.
It should be noted that apart from the Tower Bridge product, reviewed in chapter
3, all work presented within this thesis was conducted as part of this master study.
