Augmented reality (AR) became increasingly popular in education worldwide as a useful tool for improving student engagement, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities to enhance students' skills in Education 4.0 (E4.0). This research aimed to analyze and highlight several research publications that examined the use of AR to improve the skills of…

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by adding technical information or illustrations onto 3D space. Although AR-based applications are showing positive effects in many systematic reviews and meta-analyses, well-designed, rigorous studies with strong control…

This study aims to explain the Metaverse application development process for teaching geometry in a virtual reality environment. The application was developed based on the instructional design model including analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation phases. The target group was secondary school students. During the analysis…

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of documentary-based augmented reality applications in environmental education compared to the direct instruction method supported by the question and answer technique. The research was designed as mixed-method research, and the study group consisted of 118 tenth grade students. T-tests were used to…

Virtual reality (VR) is a promising avenue to enhance the independence and daily living skills of high school students with intellectual disability. This study investigated the efficacy of a non-immersive VR focused on teaching food preparation skills to secondary students with intellectual disability. Three high school students with intellectual…

Students with disabilities may find it difficult to learn and gain the life skills needed to live, work, socialize, and attend postsecondary education. In vivo and community-based instruction (CBI) are among the most effective ways to teach life skills, especially with a goal of generalization. Despite the strong relationships that often exist in…

The initial learning experience is a critical opportunity to support conceptual understanding of abstract STEM concepts. Although hands-on activities and physical three-dimensional models are beneficial, they are seldom utilized and are replaced increasingly by digital simulations and laboratory exercises presented on touchscreen tablet computers.…

This study focuses on the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in moral education. Traditional moral education faces many challenges, but VR technology, with its immersive, interactive, and imaginative characteristics, constructs an immersive moral education environment. Through quasi-experimental research, it was found that the…

From the experiential learning perspective, this study investigates middle and high school students (n = 1009) who used an online module to learn about wildfire hazards, risks, and impacts through computational simulations of wildfire phenomena. These students were taught by 18 teachers in urban, rural, and suburban schools across the United…

This research aimed to explore the dimensions and implications of the early use and integration of metaverses in public high schools in the region of the Altos de Chiapas, Mexico, through a sequential mixed methods approach. Initially, a standardized survey was administered to a stratified probabilistic sample of 1402 students from various schools…

In order to characterize students' risk assessment explanations based on the Geohazard Risk Framework, which describes four key elements of risk for high school science education, we investigate whether student explanations include the following risk elements: scientific factors, impacts, human influences, and likelihood. This study uses the…

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment where scenes and objects appear to be real, immersing the user in their surroundings. This systematic review aims to explore the benefits and challenges of VR and AR in higher education and to identify the trends and issues regarding courses and teaching methods in which VR and AR are…

The educational environment frequently encounters the issue of the inadequacy of traditional teaching approaches, which limits students' ability not only to reproduce acquired knowledge but also to apply it in practice. The aim of our research is to investigate the impact of a virtual reality (VR) based educational program in biology on students'…

Even though physical experiments are mandatory in science education, there has been an increasing demand for virtual experiments. This research aimed to investigate the impact of virtual experiments compared to physical experiments on students' conceptual understanding of chemical kinetics concepts. To achieve this, a two-phase explanatory…

Pre-post paired data gathered from 15 students enrolled in a career and technical education high school course focusing on teacher education were analyzed to measure the impact due to experiences in a simulated teaching environment. The main research focus was to explore the relationship between variables considered to be important for the success…
