Alberto Cannavò; Federico De Lorenzis; Filippo Gabriele Pratticò; Lorenzo Galante; Fabrizio Lamberti – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Today, immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) are regarded as disruptive tools in many domains, including education. While the body of literature in the field is growing, studies that present contrasting findings are not uncommon. In fact, although there is evidence of the benefits brought by VR in the educational processes, in some…

Lai, Ting-Ling; Lin, You-Sheng; Chou, Chi-Yin; Yueh, Hsiu-Ping – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an inquiry-based virtual reality (VR) science lab used in junior high school science classes. The "Scientific Investigation VR Lab" ("SIVRLAB") is designed for 9th-grade students to learn about electrochemical cells. It is situated in a guided problem-solving context, where…

Zumbach, Joerg; von Kotzebue, Lena; Pirklbauer, Constanze – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Augmented Reality (AR) has become an emerging educational technology in classroom practice and science education. While most research and contemporary meta-analyses reveal benefits with regard to knowledge acquisition and motivation of Augmented Reality-based learning environments, most of the studies lack a clear and fair control condition. In…

Tomara, Marina; Gouscos, Dimitris – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
In this work, we describe an educational approach based on augmented reality (AR) and mobile technology that has been developed with the aim to engage students in a learning procedure regarding the electric forces as well as Coulomb's Law. Initially, we present the AR learning environment and we explain its design principles with respect to the…

Klippel, Alexander; Zhao, Jiayan; Jackson, Kathy Lou; La Femina, Peter; Stubbs, Chris; Wetzel, Ryan; Blair, Jordan; Wallgrün, Jan Oliver; Oprean, Danielle – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
The value of field trips is undisputed across disciplines. Field-site visits whether in social or physical sciences provide grounding for place- and discovery-based learning. Yet field trips have limitations that can now be overcome by the promise of immersive technologies that can improve quality and accessibility. This promise is twofold: First,…

Tsai, Fu-Hsing – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
This study developed a computer-simulated science inquiry environment, called the Science Detective Squad, to engage students in investigating an electricity problem that may happen in daily life. The environment combined the simulation of scientific instruments and a virtual environment, including gamified elements, such as points and a story for…
