Nicholas O. Awuor; Cathy Weng; Isaac M. Matere; Jeng-Hu Chen; Dani Puspitasari; Khanh Nguyen Phuong Tran – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Engineering drawing is valuable in capturing geometric features, conveying engineering ideas, and creating a blueprint of the intended product. Engineering students usually perform orthographic projections, imagining a 3D situation and sketching its 2D representation. That requires imagination and mental visualization, determined by the learner's…

Pham Sy Nam; Le Hong Thai; Zsolt Lavicza; Angelika Schmid; Tony Houghton – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
In the 11th-grade Vietnamese Mathematics Curriculum, students learn about parallel relations between planes in space. This is cognitively challenging for many students. Studies have shown difficulties relating to limited spatial imagination and drawing representations. The teacher's approach also causes difficulties for some students; for example,…

de Brito, Luciana Pereira; Almeida, Leandro Silva; Osório, António José – International Journal of Technology in Teaching and Learning, 2021
Digital simulators have an interesting potential to explain the relationships between two or more variables in a system, facilitating the activation of learning processes and favoring the occurrence of meaningful learning with positive impact on academic performance. To study the impact of the use of digital simulation on learning and academic…

Baltaci, Sehnaz; Çetin, Sümeyye – Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, 2022
This study investigated the effect of using the technical visual arts lessons' material on visualization skills and attitudes. For this purpose, an augmented reality application called BTRS was designed. The application was created using Unity3D, 3Ds Max, and Vuforia programs. The study was conducted for eight weeks, with a total of 33 students…

Weng, Cathy; Puspitasari, Dani; Tran, Khanh Nguyen Phuong; Feng, Pei Jie; Awuor, Nicholas O.; Matere, Isaac Manyonge – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of augmented reality (AR) using a 3D app in a smartphone on students' learning outcomes and satisfaction in teaching angle measurement error to vocational high school students with different spatial ability. A quasi-experimental pretest/posttest was employed. There were 197 students from…

Ling, Yizhou; Zhu, Pengfei; Yu, Jiayan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Considering the individual differences in previous content knowledge, skill, and attitude, which types of learners are suitable for AR is a valuable but complex question. The study used quasi-experimental design, and divided 97 10th-grade students into two groups: traditional group (N = 48) and AR group (N = 49), who participated in 4-week organic…

Hoyer, Christoph; Girwidz, Raimund – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Simulations and virtual or remote laboratories are increasingly used in schools. The extent to which individual experimental skills can be acquired when experimenting in digital applications is, however, questionable. This paper focuses on finding multimedia features for digital experiments to support the transfer of measured values from the…

Hite, R. L.; Jones, M. G.; Childers, G. M.; Ennes, M.; Chesnutt, K.; Pereyra, M.; Cayton, E. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2019
Virtual presence describes a users' perception of a virtual reality (VR) environment (VRE), specifically, of their "involvement" (sense of control within a virtual environment with minimal distractions) and "immersion" (multi-input sensory engagement providing apparent realism of objects and interactions). In education, virtual…

Adams, Deanne M.; Pilegard, Celeste; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
Learning physics often requires overcoming common misconceptions based on naïve interpretations of observations in the everyday world. One proposed way to help learners build appropriate physics intuitions is to expose them to computer simulations in which motion is based on Newtonian principles. In addition, playing video games that require…

Mallavarapu, Aditi; Lyons, Leilah; Shelley, Tia; Minor, Emily; Slattery, Brian; Zellner, Moria – Journal of Educational Data Mining, 2015
Interactive learning environments can provide learners with opportunities to explore rich, real-world problem spaces, but the nature of these problem spaces can make assessing learner progress difficult. Such assessment can be useful for providing formative and summative feedback to the learners, to educators, and to the designers of the…

Widder, Mirela; Gorsky, Paul – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2013
In schools, learning spatial geometry is usually dependent upon a student's ability to visualize three dimensional geometric configurations from two dimensional drawings. Such a process, however, often creates visual obstacles which are unique to spatial geometry. Useful software programs which realistically depict three dimensional geometric…
