The present research is an examination of Augmented Reality (AR) applications in Science Education using the Multi-complementary Approach (McA). This incorporates multiple analyses: i) Pre-complementary: meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis, ii) Post-complementary: an experimental design with a pre- and post-test control group and iii)…

The Instrumental Analytical Chemistry course, taught in the fifth semester across several programs at the Faculty of Exact Sciences of the National University of La Plata, places a significant emphasis on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This versatile analytical technique is essential for the separation, identification, and…

This study was conducted in the laboratory and Metaverse environment with "Acids-Bases," a science subject related to the Metaverse, one of today's technologies. In line with the purpose of the research, the embedded design of the mixed research method, which combined quantitative and qualitative research methods, was used. The…

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the use of virtual reality in science education over three decades (1993-2023). The method involved data from Google Scholar-indexed publications using Publish or Perish with keywords related to "virtual reality" and" education" over the past 3 decades. Nine hundred and…

Virtual contexts play a crucial role in assisting students' learning. Researchers have taken advantage of the potential of immersive virtual reality (VR) for situating students in inaccessible places, and for engaging them in learning activities. Meanwhile, several previous studies have reported that, in VR-based learning contexts, students'…

In science and engineering education, remote laboratories are designed to bring ubiquity to experimental scenarios, by having real laboratories operated through the Internet. Despite that remote laboratories enable the collection of students' work data, the educational use of these data is still underdeveloped. Learning analytics dashboards are…

Virtual Labs (vLabs) have been gaining popularity in high school and undergraduate education, but there are few studies looking at their use in graduate-level courses. In this study, we investigated the use of six Labster vLabs assigned as homework in a graduate-level in-person Genomic Methodologies course at the University of Toronto. This course…

Little is known about the motivational factors or design features that might lead female career and technical education (CTE) health sciences students to persist in self-regulated engagement to win state achievement in serious simulation games (SSGs). In this study, 12th grade female CTE health sciences students played a 3-Level hand hygiene SSG…

The current research strives for examining the power of utilizing computer-based simulations on students' academic performance and their perceptions of organic chemistry after using computer-based simulations during their learning of organic chemistry. The study adopted mixed-method research. A total of 72 students whose ages range from 16 to 18…

The study aims to investigate the effects of immersive reality applications on students' science achievement. For this purpose, 1,323 articles reporting the effects of immersive reality applications on students' science achievement were examined. The following databases were searched for articles: National Thesis Center, Google scholar, Scopus,…

The use of simulations to better convey abstract scientific concepts or difficult-to-observe scientific occurrences through the manipulation of variables or virtual objects has the potential to improve student science learning. However, misconceptions or extraneous load may emerge if simulation support is insufficient. In this study, we used a…

The present study examines the interconnectedness of spontaneous scientific argumentation and socially shared metacognitive regulation (SSMR) during a collaborative inquiry in which students are tasked with working in a virtual learning environment for marine biological issues. From a larger dataset of 39 groups, four small student groups were…

This study was designed to examine how the science teaching process was conducted using Science Coaster, a virtual reality application developed for fourth-grade primary school students, and to identify the effects of this process on students' academic achievement, motivation, and experiences. The research was structured as a case study, and the…

For nearly two decades, augmented reality (AR) has found diverse applications in education, particularly in science education, where its efficacy has been supported by relevant theories and many empirical studies. However, previous studies have revealed the following research deficit: While AR technology appears to influence learning-related…

Science education, particularly physics, remains a priority for many countries, as their future economic prosperity is closely linked to student success in science and technology. Given the persistent challenges faced by teachers in stimulating students' interest in this discipline, the integration of innovative teaching methods has become…
