Bos, Andreia S.; Herpich, Fabrício; Kuhn, Igor; Guarese, Renan L. M.; Tarouco, Liane M. R.; Zaro, Milton A.; Pizzato, Michelle; Wives, Leandro – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
In the course of a teaching and learning process, different cognitive skills are required for a student. Attention is an important variable to be measured, since it plays a fundamental role in the accumulation of information with the stimulus of the learner's memory in the course of the assimilation of knowledge. The purpose of this article is to…

Wang, Xianhui; Xing, Wanli – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This study explored youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) learning social competence in the context of innovative 3D virtual learning environment and the effects of gaming as a central element of the learning experience. The empirical study retrospectively compared the social interactions of 11 adolescents with ASD in game-and nongame-based 3D…

Tai, Tzu-Yu; Chen, Howard Hao-Jan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
Virtual reality via mobile-rendered head-mounted displays (MVR) has emerged as a valuable language learning tool. However, research has yet to fully access its effects on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) listening. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of MVR on EFL learners' listening comprehension. Seventy-two seventh graders in…

Fors, Uno G. H.; Gunning, William T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2014
Virtual patient cases (VPs) are used for healthcare education and assessment. Most VP systems track user interactions to be used for assessment. Few studies have investigated how virtual exam cases should be scored and graded. We have applied eight different scoring models on a data set from 154 students. Issues studied included the impact of…

Mohsen, Mohammed Ali – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
One of the main issues in language learning is to find ways to enable learners to interact with the language input in an involved task. Given that computer-based simulation allows learners to interact with visual modes, this article examines how the interaction of students with an online video simulation affects their second language video…

Veletsianos, George; Miller, Charles; Doering, Aaron – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2009
Conflicts occur when learners interact with pedagogical agents and virtual characters. Such conflicts--arising from technological limitations, psychosocial perceptions, and pedagogical inadequacies--hinder communication and interaction between virtual characters and learners, and impede successful engagement with learning tasks and experiences. To…

Carel, Sheila – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1999
Findings from a study investigating students' reactions to a hypermedia program used to analyze real-life interactions indicated that pragmatic awareness can be developed in virtual culture contact situations. Similar interactive software in combination with ethnographic activities may be more effective in culture teaching and learning.…

Bergin, Rolf; Youngblood, Patricia; Ayers, Mary K.; Boberg, Jonas; Bolander, Klara; Courteille, Olivier; Dev, Parvati; Hindbeck, Hans; Edward, Leonard E., II; Stringer, Jennifer R.; Thalme, Anders; Fors, Uno G. H. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2003
Interactive Simulated Patient (ISP) is a computer-based simulation tool designed to provide medical students with the opportunity to practice their clinical problem solving skills. The ISP system allows students to perform most clinical decision-making procedures in a simulated environment, including history taking in natural language, many…

Frasson, Claude; Aimeur, Esma – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
Introduces an intelligent tutoring systems where the college-level learner deals with a teacher and a "troublemaker." Discusses the types of interaction in directive learning, peer learning and learning by disturbing; evaluates the impact of each strategy on learner self-confidence. For learners with low self-confidence, peer learning…
