This study examines the evolution of educational practices in the digital era and the integration of information technologies in teaching. Through an automated search in six digital libraries, we identified 99 relevant studies spanning the period from 1990 to 2021. We draw on a systematic mapping approach to classify these studies for better…

The role of emotion in the context of virtual reality learning environments (VRLEs) has lately received increased attention, though there is a gap in the research on VRLEs in criminal justice. The current study examines the impact of a virtual reality experience that focuses on mental illness occurring in those within the criminal justice system.…

This paper explores the development and evaluation of a MOOCs-based virtual physics measurement laboratory module designed to overcome common barriers in physics education, such as limited physical lab access, high costs, and safety concerns. Utilizing the Borg and Gall Research and Development model, this module integrates structured layouts,…

The utilization of new technologies in teaching and learning is always one of the main concerns of the educational system. The increasing development of technology has caused comprehensive changes, especially in education. In this regard, Augmented Reality (AR) is one of these important educational technologies. AR creates an interaction between…

In recent years, simulations in education and teaching were done within simulation centers. They are a powerful tool for having a particular professional experience in a controlled and safe environment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, simulations have been conducted fully online. Therefore, the current study examined the effect of simulation…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now affecting all aspects of our social lives. Without always knowing it, we interact daily with intelligent systems. They serve us invisibly. At least that is the goal we assign to them: to make our lives better, task by task. Artificial intelligence has the potential to make biology education more engaging,…

Despite the promise of virtual reality (VR) videos to provide reflective opportunities analogous to those afforded by real-world classroom recordings, there has been scant research on its usage in teacher education to date. In this quasi-experimental study, we compared the effects of two distinct stimuli used for student teachers' reflections on…

The different commercial and open-source LMSs do not support pre-built activities for students in Augmented Reality (AR). To solve this challenge, this work combines AR technology and the Moodle platform to enhance the capabilities to motivate students during the learning process. For this, we developed and configured an AR app to receive and…

This paper is a quantitative study about learners' engagement and self-efficacy within a Virtual Reality (VR) learning environment while studying vocabulary in English in a classroom implementing a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach. VR was used as a tool for students to learn and better understand specific concepts studied…

Online learning orientation may be particularly important in a virtual setting where students are unfamiliar with the learning platform, unsure if their available computer hardware and software will meet requirements, and hesitant that they have the learning orientation to progress. Given that virtual students are at risk for receiving less…

In higher education, more and more students take part in online courses that require them to engage in virtual work groups. Research has shown that online learners are likely to experience information overload and considerable challenges associated with online learning environments. These challenges are exacerbated when learners have to work as…

The purpose of this study was to determine the motivational level of the participants in a language classroom towards course materials designed in accordance with augmented reality technology and to identify the correlation between academic achievement and motivational level. 130 undergraduate students from a state-run university in Turkey…
