Abstract:
Leap Motion is a kind of gesture-based technology (GBT) equipment which can give a lot of activities to classroom teaching process. In this paper, a teaching study based on Leap Motion was conducted to test the effect of Lea3p Motion on classroom teaching. The ADDIE model was used to conduct all the research, and a comparative experimental method used in which the teachers divided into an experimental group and a control group. During the analysis, quizzes and questionnaires demonstrated that these two groups show suitable performance on Information Communication Technology ability achievement tests; however, the experimental group`s teachers performed much better than the control group`s teachers. During the data analysis, it found that the Leap Motion teaching process can increase teachers` ICT pedagogical practice in five areas: ICT literacy, instructional design, instructional organization, instructional evaluation, and professional development.
