Basketball tactical patterns are typically taught using tools such as 2D tactical boards. Rapid decision-making in a team depends on the ability to connect two-dimensional (2D) third-person positions with three-dimensional (3D) first-person perspectives. This study develops a support system that offers a virtual environment to enhance the…

Feedback guidance is a common approach to influencing strategy choice, primarily aimed at correcting students' false metacognitive beliefs and promoting behavioral change.

This study investigates whether integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) enhances ethical reasoning compared with conventional training. Sixty undergraduates in business and…

This review presents a reasoned synthesis of whole-school interventions seeking to improve the overall school environment by fostering active student participation (ASP) in school activities and decision-making processes. The aims are to describe the selected programs, assess their methodological quality, and analyze the activities soliciting ASP.…
