Research has addressed the benefits of immersive virtual reality (IVR) for affective learning rather than cognitive performance, indicating the necessity to explore what factors may influence learners' attitudinal learning, defined as the result of instruction for changing learners' attitudes, when engaging in immersive instructional mediums. This…

Previous studies have provided various reviews with either general or specific scopes to understand virtual reality (VR) technologies for learning and teaching. However, a review of the networking structure among VR-supported education research from a citation-based perspective has not as yet been provided. With the inclusion of a total of 49…

This study aimed to understand what role teachers consider the immersive virtual field trip (VFT) system to play in primary school classrooms. There were 19 teachers' perceptions of immersive VFTs for educational purposes explored. The interview transcripts were analyzed using the phenomenographic method. The results showed that, for usability…

Researchers have been devoted to exploring the impacts of immersive virtual reality (IVR) on education in recent years. However, efforts to probe the role of students' learning traits such as motivated strategies for learning in their IVR learning have been limited. Most studies commonly analyzed learners' perceptions of immersion with a single…

Parents play an important role in students' informal learning with technology; however, there is a lack of relevant research, particularly regarding parents' opinions on students' learning with emerging technology such as augmented reality (AR). This study was therefore conducted in an initial attempt to explore parents' user experience (UX) of…

Following a previous study (Cheng & Tsai, 2014. "Computers & Education"), this study aimed to probe the interaction of child-parent shared reading with the augmented reality (AR) picture book in more depth. A series of sequential analyses were thus conducted to infer the behavioral transition diagrams and visualize the continuity…

With the increasing attention to the role of parents in children's learning, what issues parents consider and how they behave when learning with their children when confronted with the emerging augmented reality (AR) technology may be worth exploring. This study was therefore conducted to qualitatively understand parents' conceptions of AR…

Augmented reality (AR) is currently considered as having potential for pedagogical applications. However, in science education, research regarding AR-aided learning is in its infancy. To understand how AR could help science learning, this review paper firstly has identified two major approaches of utilizing AR technology in science education,…
