Melinda Russell-Stamp; Jean R. Norman; Kennedy Parker – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2025
Role-playing using avatars has been demonstrated as effective, but it has not been compared to role-playing with a live actor. In this study, undergraduate psychology students (N=93) conducted a clinical interview in a role-play with an avatar or live actor. Mixed methods included a survey and written reflection. The study found no differences in…

Chih-Hung Chen; Jia-Yu Syu – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Virtual contexts play a crucial role in assisting students' learning. Researchers have taken advantage of the potential of immersive virtual reality (VR) for situating students in inaccessible places, and for engaging them in learning activities. Meanwhile, several previous studies have reported that, in VR-based learning contexts, students'…

Alsem, Sophie C.; van Dijk, Anouk; Verhulp, Esmée E.; Dekkers, Tycho J.; De Castro, Bram O. – Child Development, 2023
This multicenter randomized controlled trial investigated whether interactive virtual reality enhanced effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reduce children's aggressive behavior problems. Boys with aggressive behavior problems (N = 115; M[subscript age] = 10.58, SD = 1.48; 95.7% born in Netherlands) were randomized into three…

Kathleen Stürmer; Tim Fütterer; Stephanie Kron; Daniel Sommerhoff; Stefan Ufer – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
To support professional competence development in teacher education, learning environments should allow learners to engage with professional tasks. It is crucial for knowledge and skill transfer in such learning environments to real-life context that preservice teachers perceive the task as authentic. However, due to a lack of prior knowledge,…

Lin Zhong – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Being efficient learners is important in the modern workforce, but improved performance and cognitive load do not imply that students are efficient learners. This study investigated the effectiveness of a personalized role-playing game in students' learning efficiency (LE) and mental efficiency. Results showed that students in the personalized…

Pröbster, Monika; Soto, Marina Velert; Connolly, Cornelia; Marsden, Nicola – European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning, 2022
Avatar-based virtual reality (VR) is becoming more prevalent in industry and educational settings. There is, however, limited research on the extent to which gender stereotypes are present in this environment. The university laboratory study presented in this paper was conducted in a VR environment with participants who were randomly assigned to…

I -Jui Lee; Hsiu-Ting Hsu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves social skills deficits, hindering effective communication and meaningful relationships. Prior research indicates that Augmented Reality (AR) games appeal to children with ASD for learning social skills but lack a structured framework and clear instructions for grasping social concepts. Therefore, this…
