A Study on the Users' Experience in Learning Using a Virtual Reality Laboratory for Medical Sciences
Nur Effatul Fairuz Zainal Apandi; Nur Azlina Mohamed Mokmin; Regania Pasca Rassy – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2023
As a result of the worldwide dissemination of COVID-19, educational institutions across the globe, particularly those that serve students in the field of science, have been mandated to close their doors. Consequently, educators and students have increasingly relied on educational technology to obtain a diverse array of resources. This research…

Ausin, Markel Sanz; Azizsoltani, Hamoon; Barnes, Tiffany; Chi, Min – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been shown to be a very powerful technique in recent years on a wide range of applications. Much of the prior DRL work took the "online" learning approach. However, given the challenges of building accurate simulations for modeling student learning, we investigated applying DRL to induce a…

Angeli, Charoula M.; Valanides, Nicolaos C.; Polemitou, Eirini; Fraggoulidou, Elena – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
The present study was undertaken in order to investigate issues related to the integration of instructional simulations in the education of young children aged from 5 to 6.5 years old. A counterbalanced measures design was adopted to investigate the extent to which there was an interaction effect between field dependence-independence (FD-I) and…

Wilang, Jeffrey Dawala; Soermphongsuwat, Amnaj – Online Submission, 2018
The use of technology is becoming widespread in science and technology classes due to its overwhelming benefits in learning. Yet many English language teachers lack knowledge of the existing technologies and the 'know-how' to use it in the classroom. In this paper, the researchers report the pilot study conducted to explore the effects of virtual…

Couper, Lisa; Johannes, Kristen; Powers, Jackie; Silberglitt, Matt; Davenport, Jodi – Grantee Submission, 2016
Understanding key concepts in molecular biology requires reasoning about molecular processes that are not directly observable and, as such, presents a challenge to students and teachers. We ask whether novel interactive physical models and activities can help students understand key processes in viral replication. Our 3D tangible models are…

Angeli, Charoula; Valanides, Nicos; Polemitou, Eirini; Fraggoulidou, Elena – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
The study examined the interaction between field dependence-independence (FD/I) and learning with modeling software and simulations, and their effect on children's performance. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A first learned with a modeling tool and then with simulations. Group B learned first with simulations and then…

Cayton-Hodges, Gabrielle A. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
Mathematical Argumentation skills have historically been overlooked in assessment, but the inclusion of Mathematical Argumentation in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as one of the Standards of Mathematical Practice challenges assessment developers to assess this mathematical practice. Explanation and justification of one's own thinking to a…

Bumbacher, Engin; Salehi, Shima; Wierzchula, Miriam; Blikstein, Paulo – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Studies comparing virtual and physical manipulative environments (VME and PME) in inquiry-based science learning have mostly focused on students' learning outcomes but not on the actual processes they engage in during the learning activities. In this paper, we examined experimentation strategies in an inquiry activity and their relation to…

Jauregi, Kristi; Kuure, Leena; Bastian, Pim; Reinhardt, Dennis; Koivisto, Tuomo – Research-publishing.net, 2015
Within the European TILA project a case study was carried out where pupils from schools in Finland and the Netherlands engaged in debating sessions using the 3D virtual world of OpenSim once a week for a period of 5 weeks. The case study had two main objectives: (1) to study the impact that the discussion tasks undertaken in a virtual environment…

Berns, Anke; Palomo-Duarte, Manuel; Fernández, David Camacho – Research-publishing.net, 2012
The aim of our study is to explore several possibilities to use virtual worlds (VWs) and game-applications with learners of the A1 level (CEFR) of German as a foreign language. Our interest focuses especially on designing those learning tools which increase firstly, learner motivation towards online-learning and secondly, enhance autonomous…

Jauregi, Kristi; de Graaff, Rick; Canto, Silvia – European Association for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (EUROCALL), 2011
Organizing and implementing telecollaboration projects in foreign language curricula is not an easy endeavour (Belz & Thorne, 2006; Guth & Helm, 2010), as pedagogical, organizational and technical issues have to be addressed before cross-cultural interaction sessions can be carried out (O'Dowd & Ritter, 2006). These issues make many teaching…

Ioannidou, Andri; Repenning, Alexander – Online Submission, 2010
The comprehension of interdependent complex systems, which is part of state and national standards, is an enormous challenge for learners. In traditional physiology teaching materials, which structure the human body into decoupled subsystems (e.g., respiratory and cardiovascular) isolated in separate chapters, there is a ubiquitous absence of…

Langholz, Judith; Smaldino, Sharon E. – 1989
This study focuses on the effectiveness of "Solutions Unlimited," a computer software program developed to teach problem solving to middle level students. Fifty-one fourth, fifth, and sixth graders (21 girls and 30 boys) attending a private school in a small mid-west community were the subjects for this experiment; none had received…

Hummel, Thomas J.; Batty, Carol M. – 1989
This study compared the effectiveness of computer simulation with that of traditional videotaped role playing in a helping skills course for nurses. Subjects were 78 nursing students at the University of Minnesota's School of Nursing who enrolled in a helping relationships course during either the winter or spring quarter of 1987. During each…

DeNardo, Anette M.; Pyzdrowski, Anthony S. – 1992
This paper presents the results of a study on the effects of using 3 simulators with 14 computer science majors enrolled in an undergraduate computer architecture course. Three ability groups (high, medium, and low) were formed based on the students' quality point averages for prior computer science courses. Analyses of data from a pretest, a…
