We investigated shared understandings of sense of presence among students in science and engineering courses. The studens tended to use the term, "sense of presence", not only to refer to an experience of being there in a mediated environment, but also refer to an experience which makes them excited or strained in an actual environment. The students estimated that the visual, auditory, vestibular and kinesthetic senses were closely related to sense of presence. Furthermore, a semantic differential method revealed four different elements of sense of presence -- evaluation, impact/activity, stimulus structure and extraordinariness. The first two results (the diversity of the meaning and the sensory modality selectivity of sense of presence) were consistent with those in our previous study which had investigated the understandings of sense of presence among students in arts and humanities courses. However, the factor structure of sense of presence was different between these two studies. This result suggests that educational backgrounds may affect the understandings of sense of presence. |
