Mejia-Puig, Luis; Chandrasekera, Tilanka – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
In design education, immersive virtual reality (VR) has grown as a visualization and interaction tool. Nonetheless, little research has been done on how individuals self-perception within VR affects their performance. This self-awareness is carried out using avatars that depict the virtual body through multiple points of view. This article…

Skulmowski, Alexander – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
Cognitive load measurement is a methodological issue of high importance in all learning settings involving a high perceptual richness, such as virtual and augmented reality. As a result of the growing number of cognitive load measurement methods and surveys, it can be difficult to choose the optimal measurement instrument for learning tasks in…

Skulmowski, Alexander; Nebel, Steve; Remmele, Martin; Rey, Günter Daniel – Educational Psychology Review, 2022
The use of realistic visualizations has gained considerable interest due to the proliferation of virtual reality equipment. This review is concerned with the theoretical basis, technical implementation, cognitive effects, and educational implications of using realistic visualizations. Realism can be useful for learners, but in several studies,…

Kristin Herman; Miguel Ramlatchan; Ross Herman – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2024
Over the past decade, geospatial technologies have emerged as a tool for developing spatial reasoning and cognitive processes. While the foundational Learning to Think Spatially report from the National Research Center (2006) launched research into the use of geospatial technologies in isolation, more recently, cloud-based simulation software have…

Makransky, Guido; Petersen, Gustav B. – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
There has been a surge in interest and implementation of immersive virtual reality (IVR)-based lessons in education and training recently, which has resulted in many studies on the topic. There are recent reviews which summarize this research, but little work has been done that synthesizes the existing findings into a theoretical framework. The…

Maennel, Kaie; Brilingaite, Agne; Bukauskas, Linas; Juozapavicius, Aušrius; Knox, Benjamin James; Lugo, Ricardo Gregorio; Maennel, Olaf; Majore, Ginta; Sütterlin, Stefan – SAGE Open, 2023
Hands-on and practical learning has been key to cybersecurity education and training success. Cyber Defense Exercises (CDX) are a common approach to training, testing, and verifying technical and soft skills. However, full-scale CDX implementation is also an expensive training event. In order to advance such exercises to the next level, CDX…

Hsu, Hui-Ching Kayla – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2020
The rise of online courses has created an ongoing demand for instructional designers in higher education. Collaboration between faculty and instructional designers in developing online engineering courses has therefore increased. Potential challenges during the collaboration can be addressed when faculty and instructional designers have a mutual…

Biswas, Gautam; Rajendran, Ramkumar; Mohammed, Naveeduddin; Goldberg, Benjamin S.; Sottilare, Robert A.; Brawner, Keith; Hoffman, Michael – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Intelligent learning environments can be designed to support the development of learners' cognitive skills, strategies, and metacognitive processes as they work on complex decision-making and problem-solving tasks. However, the complexity of the tasks may impede the progress of novice learners. Providing adaptive feedback to learners who face…

Church, Jessica A.; Grigorenko, Elena L.; Fletcher, Jack M. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
To learn to read, the brain must repurpose neural systems for oral language and visual processing to mediate written language. We begin with a description of computational models for how alphabetic written language is processed. Next, we explain the roles of a dorsal sublexical system in the brain that relates print and speech, a ventral lexical…

McKinney, Jason S. – Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 2019
The movement towards competency-based education in social work has required a shift in delivery to more experiential learning opportunities for students. Looking forward, the Council on Social Work Education [CSWE] has instituted a Futures Task Force, exploring roles social workers may play in the future, with particular attention to the evolution…

Dong, Andy; Sarkar, Somwrita – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2011
This paper argues that design fixation, in part, entails fixation at the level of meta-representation, the representation of the relation between a representation and its reference. In this paper, we present a mathematical model that mimics the idea of how fixation can occur at the meta-representation level. In this model, new abstract concepts…

Halpern, Diane F.; Millis, Keith; Graesser, Arthur C.; Butler, Heather; Forsyth, Carol; Cai, Zhiqiang – Thinking Skills and Creativity, 2012
Operation ARA (Acquiring Research Acumen) is a computerized learning game that teaches critical thinking and scientific reasoning. It is a valuable learning tool that utilizes principles from the science of learning and serious computer games. Students learn the skills of scientific reasoning by engaging in interactive dialogs with avatars. They…

Lozano-Guerrero, Antonio José; Valenzuela-Valdés, Juan Francisco – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2015
This paper presents a new course, Radionavigation Systems, whose laboratory and theoretical components complement each other to enhance student learning. Radionavigation skills and knowledge are taught by means of various instructional methods, and the laboratory successfully merges hands-on learning using specific instrumentation and software…

Rey, Gunter Daniel – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Students (N = 101) used an introductory text and a computer simulation to learn fundamental concepts about statistical analyses (e.g., analysis of variance, regression analysis and General Linear Model). Each learner was randomly assigned to one cell of a 2 (with or without time advice) x 3 (with learning questions and corrective feedback, with…

Arnold, Pip; Pfannkuch, Maxine; Wild, Chris J.; Regan, Matt; Budgett, Stephanie – Journal of Statistics Education, 2011
Computer simulations and animations for developing statistical concepts are often not understood by beginners. Hands-on physical simulations that morph into computer simulations are teaching approaches that can build students' concepts. In this paper we review the literature on visual and verbal cognitive processing and on the efficacy of…
