Lui, Michelle; McEwen, Rhonda; Mullally, Martha – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Educators are recognizing the potential power of immersive virtual reality (IVR) to allow learners to experience previously intangible firsthand phenomena, such as atoms and molecules. In this study, an IVR simulation of a complex gene regulation system was co-designed with an undergraduate microbiology course instructor. The course, with 234…

Rodríguez-Martínez, José Antonio; González-Calero, José Antonio; Olmo-Muñoz, Javier; Arnau, David; Tirado-Olivares, Sergio – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
This study analyses the potential of a learning analytics (LA) based formative assessment to construct personalised teaching sequences in Mathematics for 5th-grade primary school students. A total of 127 students from Spanish public schools participated in the study. The quasi-experimental study was conducted over the course of six sessions, in…

Altmeyer, Kristin; Kapp, Sebastian; Thees, Michael; Malone, Sarah; Kuhn, Jochen; Brünken, Roland – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Learning with hands-on experiments can be supported by providing essential information virtually during lab work. Augmented reality (AR) appears especially suitable for presenting information during experimentation, as it can be used to integrate both physical and virtual lab work. Virtual information can be displayed in close spatial proximity to…

Chiu, Mei-Hung; Liaw, Hongming Leonard; Yu, Yuh-Ru; Chou, Chin-Cheng – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Utilizing facial recognition technology, the current study has attempted to predict the likelihood of student conceptual change with decision tree models based on the facial micro-expression states (FMES) students exhibited when they experience conceptual conflict. While conceptual change through conceptual conflicts in science education is a…

Pereira, Filipe D.; Oliveira, Elaine H. T.; Oliveira, David B. F.; Cristea, Alexandra I.; Carvalho, Leandro S. G.; Fonseca, Samuel C.; Toda, Armando; Isotani, Seiji – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Tools for automatic grading programming assignments, also known as Online Judges, have been widely used to support computer science (CS) courses. Nevertheless, few studies have used these tools to acquire and analyse interaction data to better understand the students' performance and behaviours, often due to data availability or inadequate…

Wang, Tzu-Hua; Chiu, Mei-Hung; Lin, Jing-Wen; Chou, Chin-Cheng – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2013
Mental models play an important role in science education research. To extend the effectiveness of conceptual change research and to improve mental model identi?cation and diagnosis, the authors developed and tested the Web-Based Mental Models Diagnosis (WMMD) system. In this article, they describe their WMMD system, which goes beyond the…

Clarke, Linda; Abbott, Lesley – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
This paper describes an iPad project in a Northern Ireland primary school. It evaluates how the technology impacted on learning in literacy, numeracy and in pupil skills. The youngest pupils were asked about their iPad experiences using small-group interviews based on the circle time approach. Their teacher and two classroom assistants were…

Avgerinou, Maria; Ericson, John – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1997
Many have tried to define the concept of visual literacy (VL), but so far there is no consensus. Reviews the literature to develop a definition of VL and explores the parameters of VL, the movement and its aims, its educational significance, and the potential benefits of teaching VL. (PEN)

Hazzan, Orit – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2004
This research focuses on knowledge and ways in which knowledge may be constructed in the learner's mind. Specifically, it addresses the Web as a cognitive supporter for learning, organising and constructing a new domain of knowledge. In particular, the research analyses student reflection on constructing web sites. The analysis is based on an…
