Abstract

Abstract: Educators in construction engineering and management currently tend to rely on 2D drawings, Critical Path Method, PERT Diagrams and Gantt charts to help student understand the scheduling concepts. In an attempt to improve this current scheduling teaching approach, the University of Southern Mississippi and the Jones County Junior College with funding from the National Sciences Foundation developed a Virtual Reality Scheduling Simulator as a teaching tool. In conjunction with the Virtual Reality Scheduling Simulator the research team also developed a series of assessment instruments to measure usability and the impact of the Virtual Reality Scheduling Simulator on the students' learning and motivation. This paper focus on describing the development of one of the assessment instruments - The Motivation Assessment instrument.
