This research aims to create a bibliometric map of studies on the use of metaverse in education. We used the bibliometric mapping technique from an international viewpoint to assess trends in the area of metaverse research on education by disclosing the author, publication, keyword, journal, country, and citation factors. Most research on the…

Metaverse is a concept that has existed in our lives for years. However, it has become widely known by gaining new meanings thanks to the developments in blockchain and virtual reality technologies and the marketing techniques of social media companies. The aim of this study is to examine the studies on the use of Metaverse technology in…

Augmented reality applications in STEM education have increasing importance in recent years and it draws attention that scientific studies on this subject have gained momentum in the literature. The purpose of this research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of studies on the use of augmented reality applications in STEM education in the…

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…

In this study, 3D design products of pre-service science teachers were evaluated, and the opinions of the candidates regarding the 3D design process and the design products they created were investigated. This study is a case study of qualitative research designs. The research was carried out with 48 pre-service science teachers studying as…

This study is an attempt to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool to measure secondary school students' attitudes towards metaverse use. Therefore, the study reported the analyses related to metaverse attitude scale (MVAS). The content validity of the scale was ensured by an expert's view, and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and…

Despite increasing calls for integrating generative AI (GAI) into education, individual teachers still show disparate attitudes and actions. It is thereby pivotal to understand the reasons behind such divergent responses. However, factors affecting teachers' uptake of GAI in their instruction, particularly their endorsement of students' engagement…

Virtual Reality (VR) has gained more importance in the educational sector. A possibility of using VR in education can be Virtual Field Trips (VFTs). This work analyses the possibilities of creating VFTs with different software/tools, output devices, and 360° cameras in the educational sector. The preparatory work, with the recording of own 360°…

In the era of Industry 5.0, education is evolving with automation and immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR). This study explores the need for an AR-based e-module in Senior High School biology by assessing students' understanding, interest, confidence, and perceived usefulness of AR in learning. Using a descriptive quantitative…

Virtual Reality (VR) as an interactive, illustrative, and immersive learning environment has ample opportunities for the development of language skills. Despite a growing literature on VR-assisted language learning, the benefit of VR for L2 listening is in need of further investigation. To fill this lacuna, the current study surveyed the impact of…

Although previous research on Virtual Reality (VR) demonstrated the effects of particular learning environment characteristics on learning, none of these studies constructed their virtual learning environment from a constructive alignment perspective. Therefore, this experimental study aims to investigate the impact of a constructively aligned…

Number talks are short mathematical discussions offering sensemaking opportunities for students. Aside from bolstering students' mathematical learning, this instructional routine may also support preservice teachers (PSTs) in investigating how to facilitate discussion-focused instruction. In this study, PSTs engage in a learning cycle to explore,…

Virtual solutions of museums can be notably used to promote distance learning activities by providing information about their collections. However, the effective use of this potential depends mainly on the exact alignment of the learning activities with the educational goals. For this purpose, this study focuses on the analysis of pre-service…

The essence of Genetics lies in the understanding of the concepts of Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. Although these ideas are fundamental to the field, they are notoriously difficult to understand and visualize. While simulation-based instructional materials are found to improve the teaching-learning process in science education, little has…

This research aims to determine the effect of MAR's integration into 5E learning in teaching biology. Particularly, its impact on the academic success of the preservice teachers and their attitudes towards digital technology is studied. To this end, the convergent parallel mixed research method is used. The study was conducted with the 31…
