Yimiao Yan; Yibin Zheng; Xindong Ye – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
As an effective teaching method, digital storytelling has gained significant prominence in the field of education in recent years. In contemporary digital storytelling instruction, stories are often presented through interactive whiteboards, computers, smartphones, or tablets. The introduction of immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology makes…

Peng Zhang; Jiangxu Li; Su Cai – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Augmented reality (AR) games offer significant potential to enhance learning experiences, yet the impact of when these games are introduced during the educational process remains underexplored. This study explored how the timing of providing the AR game influenced learners' achievement, satisfaction and acceptance. Using a quasi-experimental…

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…

Germia, Erell; York, Toni; Panorkou, Nicole – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Many studies use instructional designs that include two or more artifacts (digital manipulatives, tables, graphs) to support students' development of reasoning about covarying quantities. While students' forms of covariational reasoning and the designs are often the focus of these studies, the way students' interactions and transitions between…

Sophia Rapti; Theodosios Sapounidis; Sokratis Tselegkaridis – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
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…

Mulders, Miriam – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
Theoretical background: Learning in virtual realities (VR) has become increasingly important. In this context, VR appears to be particularly conducive to affective learning objectives, such as perspective-taking in VR actors. Previous research has often focused on investigating cause-effect relationships that focus on the direct effects of…

Xintian Tu – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation investigates how embodied learning within a Mixed Reality (MR) environment supports young children's science learning, focusing on a honeybee system. To do so, I designed three types of activities within an MR environment to enable young children to assume different perspectives as they create embodied models of honeybees as…

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…

Danish, Joshua A.; Enyedy, Noel; Saleh, Asmalina; Humburg, Megan – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2020
This paper proposes the Learning in Embodied Activity Framework (LEAF) which aims to synthesize across individual and sociocultural theories of learning to provide a more robust account of how the body plays a role in collaborative learning, particularly when students are learning about a collective phenomenon where coordination between and across…

Colket, Laura – Penn GSE Perspectives on Urban Education, 2020
This article highlights the power of storytelling as a tool for professional learning for educators and educational leaders, particularly during this time of intense social isolation. Storytelling not only offers opportunities for healing, growth and community building, but also guides and supports educators in creating more equitable spaces for…

Liu, Yuan-Chen; Huang, Tzu-Hua; Lin, I-Hsuan – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2023
The aim of this study is to use augmented reality and hands-on activity with phonics cubes to create an augmented reality English learning system named the Rolling Alphabet-AR System to investigate its impact on English learning, flow experience, and English self-efficacy for sixth graders. This study adopted quasi-experimental research on 114…

Tatli, Zeynep; Altinisik, Derya; Sen, Hasan; Çakiroglu, Ünal – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2021
The aim of study is to compare the contributions of virtual and real museum tours in terms of perceived presence and knowledge retention. The sample of study which was 28 third graders enrolled in a public primary school in an informal instructional process. There were two groups (virtual group and real group); one visited virtual museum (n=14),…

Bock, Camden; Dimmel, Justin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
This paper reports on a study of learners' use of immersive spatial diagrams to make arguments about three-dimensional geometric figures. Immersive spatial diagrams allow learners to use the movement of their bodies to control their point of view, while immersed in three-dimensional digital renderings. We present analysis of two pairs of…

Jaakkola, Tomi; Veermans, Koen – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2018
The present study investigates the effects that concreteness fading has on learning and transfer across three grade levels (4-6) in elementary school science education in comparison to learning with constantly concrete representations. 127 9- to 12-years-old elementary school students studied electric circuits in a computer-based simulation…

Hung, Jeng-Fung; Tsai, Chun-Yen – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Previous studies on the effectiveness of virtual laboratories for learning have shown inconsistent results over the past decade. The purpose of this research was to explore the effects of a virtual laboratory and meta-cognitive scaffolding on students' data modeling competences. A quasi-experimental design was used. Three classes of eighth graders…
