The increasing ubiquity of gamification in everyday life normalizes it as a motivational tool. While much scholarship supports gamification, labor sociologists have long problematized the phenomenon. In this mixed-methods action research study, we explore the results of gamifying a lesson on gamification in a sociology of work course. We designed…

Learning mathematics has been a fundamental subject for students. The sample will be restricted to students in junior high school who had studied learning mathematics using augmented reality. The population was derived from private and public junior high schools in various provinces. Data were collected using an online survey to reach large…

While recent research has extensively explored the potential use of Virtual Reality (VR) in educational contexts, limited knowledge exists regarding teachers' willingness to further their understanding of VR and its applications in education. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how various demographic factors and attitudes toward VR…

The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of computer simulation integrated with jigsaw learning strategy (CSIJLS) on students' attitudes towards chemistry. Additionally, it sought to determine whether the usage of CSIJLS resulted in any changes in attitudes between male and female students. Researchers employed a quantitative…

With virtual reality (VR) tools becoming increasingly prevalent in K-12 schools today, educators now possess the means to transport students to digitally simulated times and places without ever leaving the classroom. However, current application of this experiential technology is in its nascent stage and subsequent research is often limited to…

In this article, we present the results of research conducted to investigate the perception of VR educational materials for space technology courses being developed at a technological university in Europe. Our aim was to identify potential barriers faced by men and women when entering and continuing this form of education. As both VR and space…

This study aimed to determine the importance of socialization through sports as exemplified by athletics using interactive technologies for better socialization of students. The Small Group Socialization Scale (SGSS) was utilized for the measurement of socialization. The researchers conducted the study based on the Physical Education Department…

Understanding children's willingness to take risks is crucial for sound educational strategies and play environments. This study investigates children's risk willingness using a virtual reality (VR) playground balancing scenario and examines its associations with sensation-seeking personality trait, age, gender, and the likelihood of failing the…

This study aimed to investigate the perception of STEM students (n = 147) on using mobile Augmented Reality (AR) across gender and learning styles in physics online classes. It utilized embedded mixed-method research and purposive sampling. An instrument named Students Perception in Integrating Mobile AR in Physics Class was developed and has…

The detection of differential item functioning (DIF) is important in psychological and behavioral sciences. Standard DIF detection methods perform an item-by-item test iteratively, often assuming that all items except the one under investigation are DIF-free. This article proposes a Bayesian adaptive Lasso method to detect DIF in graded response…

Central Venous Catheterization (CVC) is a commonly performed medical procedure used for medication delivery to the heart. While CVC is conducted over 5 million times annually it is plagued with high complication rates, resulting in adverse effects on patients, and in the worst cases, death. These complications are directly related to the…

When talking about digital resources in secondary education classrooms in the 21st Century, we must mention tools such as Mixed Reality (MR). However, we must not only have in mind the perspective and training of teachers on their use, but we must consider that the ecologies of the classroom are becoming increasingly diverse, thus demanding an…

Recent developments in technology have introduced new tools, such as virtual reality, into the learning process. Although virtual reality appears to be a promising technology for education and has been adopted by a few schools worldwide, we still do not know students' and educators' opinions, preferences, and challenges with it, particularly in…

This study investigated how pre-service teachers perceive and plan to use a virtual reality classroom for science teaching during microteaching practices. The UTAUT 2 model was adopted as the conceptual framework for this study. Data were collected through an online survey from eighty-three pre-service science teachers from a large metropolitan…

Anecdotal evidence suggests that students with quantitative business majors (e.g., finance, accounting, data analytics, economics) outperform students from less quantitatively rigorous majors (e.g., management, human resource management, marketing) on a business simulation game at a mid-sized, southeastern, public, AACSB accredited university. We…
