Rustam Shadiev; Xuan Chen; Barry Lee Reynolds; Yanjie Song; Fahriye Altinay – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
This study investigates a virtual reality (VR) cross-cultural interactive learning environment that combines a 360-degree video camera for content creation, a viewing tool, and a video conference platform for real-time interaction. This environment aims to address the limitations of traditional 360-degree VR tools, particularly in enabling…

Ruggeri, Azzurra; Lombrozo, Tania; Griffiths, Thomas L.; Xu, Fei – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Children are active learners: they learn not only from the information people offer and the evidence they happen to observe, but by actively seeking information. However, children's information search strategies are typically less efficient than those of adults. In two studies, we isolate potential sources of developmental change in how children…

Windschitl, Mark; Andre, Thomas – 1996
The objectives of this study were to: examine the potential interaction between students' epistemological beliefs and placement in a simulation condition (constructivist versus non-constructivist) on conceptual development; and to assess whether a constructivist computer simulation experience would result in a greater degree of conceptual change…

Developing Conservation Attitudes and Energy Concepts in Individuals of Various Cognitive Levels, Using the Energy Environment Simulator.
Cartwright, Dennis D.; Heikkinen, Michael W. – 1981
Reported is a study of the effectiveness of the Energy Environment Simulator (EES) in developing energy awareness and positive attitudes towards energy issues in students at various levels of cognitive development. The EES is a portable computer model of U.S. energy resources, environmental quality and food distribution. Subjects were students…

Teaching Students to Think Like Scientists.
Watkins, Beverly T. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1992
A collection of 17 biology texts and computer software produced at Beloit College (Wisconsin) by an interdisciplinary group let students conduct simulated scientific experiments that would be impossible in a laboratory and complete complex statistical analyses quickly. The programs focus on three stages of scientific research: problem posing,…
