Faruk Arici; Rabia Meryem Yilmaz – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Inquiry-based learning (IbL) has significantly contributed to science education, and this impact can be enhanced with technology. Augmented Reality (AR) offers 3D visualisation and interactive experiences, whereas Video-based Learning (VbL) provides narratives with visual and audio support. Both methods aid students in exploring,…

Caroline P. Barnett; J. Loizzo; J. C. Bunch; S. Baker; M. P. Anderson – Journal of Environmental Education, 2024
The term "charismatic" refers to visually or empathetically appealing animals. They act as flagship species to garner interest and participation. This study explored the impact of charismatic animals featured in three virtual reality (VR) tours of an estuary system on youths' learning, connectedness to water (CTW), and tour perceptions.…

Berg, Craig; Carvan, Michael; Hesselbach, Renee; Luo, Zhihui; Petering, David; Pickart, Michael; Tomasiewicz, Henry; Weber, Daniel; Shukla, Rekha; Goldberg, Barbara – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
The objective of our program is to foster and facilitate authentic research experiences in middle and high school science courses. We do so by providing students with a complete experience in scientific experimentation and communication. The centerpiece is a set of experiment modules in which students investigate the effects of toxic chemicals on…

Basawapatna, Ashok – Educational Technology & Society, 2016
Simulation and modeling activities, a key point of computational thinking, are currently not being integrated into the science classroom. This paper describes a new visual programming tool entitled the Simulation Creation Toolkit. The Simulation Creation Toolkit is a high level pattern-based phenomenological approach to bringing rapid simulation…

Weigend, Michael – Informatics in Education, 2014
Scientific issues like the behavior of wild and domesticated animals can serve as a motivation to learn programming concepts. Instead of following a systematic introduction, the students directly dive into programming and start immediately with their projects. In this constructionist approach the educational challenge for the teacher is to provide…
