近年來，擁有高知識水平和參與科學相關領域的女性逐漸增加，但是整體的女性科學自我效能一直以來都低於男性，直至今日也是如此，傳統的科學教育在此面向上或許是不足的。本研究透過以人為中心之設計方法，以年輕女性為目標，嘗試將擁有高度沉浸、高擬真且高互動特性的虛擬實境應用至遊戲式學習，並以「故事性」、「趣味性」、「學習性」三個面向作為遊戲設計之核心，將科學知識融入其中，發展一套虛擬實境科學RPG遊戲，期望年輕女性能在遊戲過程中快樂的學習科學知識，引發其學習動機及興趣，藉以提升其科學自我效能。
本研究透過觀察與訪談，歸納出虛擬實境遊戲式學習設計的重點與限制及提升科學自我效能之成效及原因。經由觀察，結合「故事性」、「趣味性」、「學習性」的科學VR RPG遊戲能提升年輕女性的科學自我效能，其中成就感是影響學習成效的關鍵，而故事則能與其相輔相成提升整體成效。最後，本研究整理研究及開發過程中針對女性設計VR RPG遊戲時的幾項重點，期望未來在開發虛擬實境遊戲時能參考之。

Women’s science self-efficacy has always been lower than men, even though women with high levels of education and participation in science-related fields are gradually increasing, traditional science education may be insufficient in this aspect. This study aims to enhance young females’ science self-efficacy and inspire their motivation and interest in learning science through an application of game-based learning, which is a virtual reality role-playing game (RPG) combined with science knowledge. The game designed with three core concepts: storytelling, joy, and learning, through Human-Centered Design (HCD) method.
Through observation and interviews, this study summarizes the key points and limitations of virtual reality game-based learning design, and effectiveness of enhancing science self-efficacy. The science VR RPG game combining " storytelling ", " joy " and "learning" can enhance the science self-efficacy of young females. Accomplishment and fulfillment that they gained during the game is the key to the effectiveness of learning, and the story complement each other, interaction between the three core concepts, storytelling, joy, and learning, affect players and enhance their science self-efficacy. Finally, this study summarizes several key points of designing VR RPG games for women during research and development.
