Taoist rituals are one of the most significant forms of intangible religious cultural heritage in Taiwan, yet their transmission faces serious challenges. To preserve and transmit this tradition in a more systematic way, this study focused on the Jianzhao ritual of the Zhengyi sect in northern Taiwan as the core learning content and developed an innovative mixed reality (MR) Taoist Ritual Training System that integrates both virtual and real-world elements. Nineteen participants were recruited for a teaching experiment using an experimental research design. Ten were randomly assigned to the experimental group, which engaged in ritual learning through the MR system, while nine were assigned to the control group, which received traditional in-person instruction from a Taoist master. The study compared learning outcomes between the two groups, assessed the experimental group’s technology acceptance, immersive experience, and sense of presence, and conducted interviews to gain deeper insights into learners’experiences and perceptions. The results showed that both learning modes produced significant gains, with no statistically significant differences between them. Moreover, participants in the experimental group reported positive perceptions regarding technology acceptance, immersion, and presence. Interview findings further indicated that learners believed a combination of both modes would be the most effective for transmitting Taoist ritual knowledge. This study demonstrates that the MR Taoist Ritual Training System not only serves as an effective tool for learners to understand the processes and knowledge of Taoist rituals but also functions as a valuable teaching aid for Taoist masters, providing more opportunities for independent practice and contributing to the preservation and transmission of this important intangible cultural heritage. |
