Rotem Abdu; Sofia Tancredi; Dor Abrahamson; Ramesh Balasubramaniam – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
This paper combines recent developments in theories of knowledge (complex dynamic systems), technologies (embodied interactions), and research tools (multimodal data collection and analysis) to offer new insights into how conceptual mathematical understanding can emerge. A complex dynamic system view models mathematics learning in terms of a…

Patrick Pieng; Lisa M. Weckbacher; Yukari Okamoto – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
The present study compared Japanese and U.S. preschool children's knowledge of geometric shapes. The main goal was to explore if differences in shape-naming conventions in Japanese and English could explain differences in children's understanding of geometric shapes. In ancient Chinese-based languages (e.g., Japanese), all standard 2D shapes…

Corinna S. Martarelli; Josua Dubach; Natalie Schelleis; Trix Cacchione; Sebastian Tempelmann – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Virtual reality (VR) can provide access to otherwise inaccessible aspects of the world and thus promote science learning. We developed a VR learning tool about the water cycle, with 11 lessons for classroom teaching at the primary level. We assessed prior knowledge before a four-week intervention and learning outcomes directly after the…

Jialing Zeng; Peng Zhang; Junyi Zhou; Junjie Shang; John B. Black – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Current literature indicates the significance of embodied scaffoldings in enhancing the effectiveness of interactive learning technologies for STEM conceptual learning and relevant cognitive skill development. However, there is limited research on pedagogical approaches for integrating mixed embodied scaffoldings in learning with interactive…

Kerry Chappell; Sharon Witt; Heather Wren; Leonie Hampton; Pam Woods; Lizzie Swinford; Martin Hampton – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
This study marks a resting point within ongoing explorations of creativity, transdisciplinarity, materiality, and spatiality in Higher Education (HE) pedagogy. It interrogates how different materialities and spatialities shape learning to re-create practices to better respond to societal challenges. This is situated within an imperative to move…

Manuela Glaser; Laura Hug; Stephan Werner; Stephan Schwan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
The present paper examines possible benefits of spatial audio guides on learning outcomes in the spatial learning setting of an experimental exhibition and attempts to differentiate between different mechanisms underlying such an effect. In Experiment 1, we examined whether the spatial contiguity principle may be such a mechanism. A spatial audio…
