In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, the fourth of which is "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities," a goal that aims to ensure that everyone has access to an equitable, diverse, and high-quality education. Lifelong learning is closely related to self-directed learning, and learners must use the tools for self-directed learning in order to truly realize lifelong learning. In the Information Age, where cell phones and tablets are becoming more and more popular, the age at which children are exposed to smart products is decreasing year by year. However, most of the time children spend using smart products is mostly for entertainment, and rarely for learning. Traditional Chinese herbs have been used for thousands of years and are often used for therapeutic purposes in many regions, so this study aims to increase children's understanding of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. This study aims to introduce Chinese herbal medicine to children through augmented reality presentations on tablet PCs, in order to expand children's knowledge of tablet devices beyond entertainment. The learning process design of the traditional Chinese herbal medicine exploration box for augmented reality independent learning was carried out by using the Focus Group Interviewing method to understand the needs of the augmented reality Chinese herbal medicine independent learning exploration box, and the learning process diagram was completed by the participatory design method.
