Kathleen Stürmer; Tim Fütterer; Stephanie Kron; Daniel Sommerhoff; Stefan Ufer – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
To support professional competence development in teacher education, learning environments should allow learners to engage with professional tasks. It is crucial for knowledge and skill transfer in such learning environments to real-life context that preservice teachers perceive the task as authentic. However, due to a lack of prior knowledge,…

Kwiatek, Piotr; Papakonstantinidis, Stavros; Limani, Emira – Marketing Education Review, 2022
Group composition presents a compelling, significant, and timely topic for educators, given the widespread use of group assignments in today's pedagogical models. This paper adopts a Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) as a systematic approach to investigate the conditions for high learning performance in marketing simulations. We…

Adam Carreon; Sean J. Smith; Bruce Frey; Amber Rowland; Maggie Mosher – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
Virtual reality (VR) has evolved to include non-immersive to fully-immersive experiences for the classroom. This study seeks to understand the potential effects VR may offer, specifically characteristics associated with how a student experiences a VR intervention and the effects of using a VR device for learning. A group experimental design was…

Cook, David A.; Aljamal, Yazan; Pankratz, V. Shane; Sedlack, Robert E.; Farley, David R.; Brydges, Ryan – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2019
Self-regulated learning is optimized when instructional supports are provided. We evaluated three supports for self-regulated simulation-based training: practice schedules, normative comparisons, and learning goals. Participants practiced 5 endoscopy tasks on a physical simulator, then completed 4 repetitions on a virtual reality simulator. Study…

Wang, Hong-Syuan; Chen, Sufen; Yen, Miao-Hsuan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of metacognitive scaffolding in different inquiry tasks related to optics. Two high school classes participated in this study. One class, the treatment group (n = 33), which integrated metacognitive prompts into the simulation-based inquiry, was compared to the other class, the control group (n = 34),…

Sydorenko, Tetyana; Daurio, Phoebe; Thorne, Steven L. – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2018
To address the problem of limited opportunities for practicing second language speaking in interaction, especially delicate interactions requiring pragmatic competence, we describe computer simulations designed for the oral practice of extended pragmatic routines and report on the affordances of such simulations for learning pragmatically…

Wang, Hung-Yuan; Duh, Henry Been-Lirn; Li, Nai; Lin, Tzung-Jin; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2014
The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare students' collaborative inquiry learning behaviors and their behavior patterns in an augmented reality (AR) simulation system and a traditional 2D simulation system. Their inquiry and discussion processes were analyzed by content analysis and lag sequential analysis (LSA). Forty…

Darabi, Aubteen; Nelson, David W.; Meeker, Richard; Liang, Xinya; Boulware, Wilma – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2010
In a diagnostic problem solving operation of a computer-simulated chemical plant, chemical engineering students were randomly assigned to two groups: one studying product-oriented worked examples, the other practicing conventional problem solving. Effects of these instructional strategies on the progression of learners' mental models were examined…

Martinez, Guadalupe; Naranjo, Francisco L.; Perez, Angel L.; Suero, Maria Isabel; Pardo, Pedro J. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
This study compared the educational effects of computer simulations developed in a hyper-realistic virtual environment with the educational effects of either traditional schematic simulations or a traditional optics laboratory. The virtual environment was constructed on the basis of Java applets complemented with a photorealistic visual output.…

Tang, K. Linda; And Others – 1993
This study compared the performance of the LOGIST and BILOG computer programs on item response theory (IRT) based scaling and equating for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) using real and simulated data and two calibration structures. Applications of IRT for the TOEFL program are based on the three-parameter logistic (3PL) model.…

Harding, Lori; And Others – Social Studies Journal, 1991
Discusses a comparative study of two fourth grade social studies teaching programs based upon study units concerning flight. Concludes that both Hilda Taba's Teaching Strategies Program and the published simulation program "Flight" were exciting alternative methods of teaching map reading to fourth graders. Reports that students using…
