Selena Steinberg; Melissa Gresalfi; Lauren Vogelstein; Corey Brady – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
This paper considers how a curricular design that integrated computer programming and creative movement shaped students' engagement with computing. We draw on data from a camp for middle schoolers, focusing on an activity in which students used the programming environment NetLogo to re-represent their physical choreography. We analyze the extent…

Ai-Chu Elisha Ding – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
Multilingual learners (MLs) often struggle with science conceptual learning partly due to the abstractness of the concepts and the complexity of scientific texts. This study presents a case of a Virtual Reality (VR) enhanced science learning unit to support middle-school students' science conceptual learning. Using a transformative mixed methods…

Adam Carreon; Sean J. Smith; Bruce Frey; Amber Rowland; Maggie Mosher – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
Virtual reality (VR) has evolved to include non-immersive to fully-immersive experiences for the classroom. This study seeks to understand the potential effects VR may offer, specifically characteristics associated with how a student experiences a VR intervention and the effects of using a VR device for learning. A group experimental design was…
