Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by adding technical information or illustrations onto 3D space. Although AR-based applications are showing positive effects in many systematic reviews and meta-analyses, well-designed, rigorous studies with strong control…

As the number of STEM opportunities and the need for a scientifically literate society increases, educators in STEM fields require tools that help support these needs. Chemistry is one STEM content area that would benefit from exploring educational technology that supports conceptual understanding. An action research study was conducted to…

Virtual reality (VR) is a promising avenue to enhance the independence and daily living skills of high school students with intellectual disability. This study investigated the efficacy of a non-immersive VR focused on teaching food preparation skills to secondary students with intellectual disability. Three high school students with intellectual…

Self-regulation is crucial for student success in scientific inquiry and engineering design. However, it remains unclear how students dynamically engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) processes to achieve high performance. In this study, we investigated the temporal nature of self-regulation during engineering design by leveraging computer trace…

Students with disabilities may find it difficult to learn and gain the life skills needed to live, work, socialize, and attend postsecondary education. In vivo and community-based instruction (CBI) are among the most effective ways to teach life skills, especially with a goal of generalization. Despite the strong relationships that often exist in…

The primary purpose of this exploratory multi-case study was to investigate how virtual reality (VR), when utilized as the primary driver of hands-on instruction, could influence the completion of the Experiential Learning Cycle (ELC) for high school level Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructors. Specifically, this qualitative study…

This study explores the relationship between vicarious experiences of nature, environmental behavioral beliefs, environmental attitudes and adolescents' environmental behavior. Based on a sample of 1476 adolescents from five high schools in Jiangsu Province, China, we proposed a model that was supported by structural equation modelling analysis.…

Writing is a demanding task for learners in English as a foreign language (EFL) contexts. Students are not given sufficient practice opportunities in the classroom. Hence, they do not feel motivated to write or enjoy writing in English much, and they encounter difficulties in planning, organizing ideas, stating a clear purpose and choosing…

This research aimed to explore the dimensions and implications of the early use and integration of metaverses in public high schools in the region of the Altos de Chiapas, Mexico, through a sequential mixed methods approach. Initially, a standardized survey was administered to a stratified probabilistic sample of 1402 students from various schools…

From the experiential learning perspective, this study investigates middle and high school students (n = 1009) who used an online module to learn about wildfire hazards, risks, and impacts through computational simulations of wildfire phenomena. These students were taught by 18 teachers in urban, rural, and suburban schools across the United…

The purpose of this study is to analyze the mental model of improvement and changes on light wave concepts with Conceptual Change based on Virtual Media (CC-VM) x POE strategy. The method used is mixed methods with embedded design. The sample consisted of 30 students (with an age range of 16-17 years) in one of the schools in Subang, Indonesia.…

Current circumstances require the development of new methodological approaches and the use of digital technologies in education in order to maintain a sufficient level of academic performance of students. The research aims to explore the academic performance of high school students learning history with digital technologies such as Apps Quizlet…

Contribution: This article investigates the impact of gamified learning on high school students (grades 9-12) in computer science, emphasizing learner engagement, knowledge improvement, and overall satisfaction. It contributes insights into the effectiveness of gamification in enhancing educational outcomes. Background: Gamification in education…

Dynamic geometry software (DGS) has long been studied in mathematics education as a way for students to explore and interact with geometric objects and figures. Recent advances in Augmented Reality (AR) technologies that allow dynamic three-dimensional mathematical objects to appear in students' environment as holograms have changed the nature of…

Computational modelling is widely used in biological science. Therefore, biology students need to learn computational modelling. However, there is a lack of evidence about how to teach computational modelling in biology and what the effects are on student learning. The purpose of this intervention-control study was to investigate how knowledge in…
