Abstract

The study of using 3D games to enhance creative thinking for the construction of 3D models aims 1) to compare the students’ achievement in creating 3D models from photos and that from the use of 3D games and 2) to examine opinions regarding the use of 3D games as tools for constructing 3D models. The participants were divided into two groups with 20 each. 3D models were evaluated by three experts in the field based on the set of criteria regarding the elements and principles of 3D design. The data from two independent groups were analyzed using the independent samples t-tests. The opinions were obtained from the survey which were analyzed in terms of mean descriptive statistics and standard deviation (SD). The result showed that with the use of 3D games as tools to enhance creative thinking for the construction of 3D models, there were two components whose results were significantly different at 0.05. With regard to shape, the mean score was 3.90, and the standard deviation was 1.04. In terms of value, the mean score was 3.95, and the standard deviation was 1.04. The opinions from the participants revealed that they were likely to agree on the use 3D games as tools for creating 3D models and in teaching and learning.
