This study investigates the impact of virtual reality (VR) on mathematics education, focusing on pre-service teachers' perceptions and learning outcomes at Qatar University. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research explores VR's potential to enhance comprehension and engagement in mathematics instruction. A cohort of 60 pre-service…

In the context of Education 4.0, inclusive teacher training must not only address enduring pedagogical and institutional barriers but also respond to emerging technological challenges and opportunities--particularly those posed by artificial intelligence (AI). Following PRISMA guidelines, this study presents a systematic literature review of 103…

Using a feminist-new materialist lens, this paper attends to child-digital interactions in fostering Indigenous literacies, by focusing on the "Quantum Sandbox" exhibit in the Digital Immersion Lab at a Canadian children's science museum. Analytically, this paper explores how a digital exhibit ("Quantum Sandbox") creates a…

Purpose: This paper highlights the transformative impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on education, focusing on their potential to revolutionize teaching methods. It also explores the global trend of integrating technology-based learning into educational curricula. Design/methodology/approach: A comprehensive literature…

Mixed reality simulations such as TeachLivE and Mursion have been increasingly utilised to prepare teachers for inclusive classrooms. The use of mixed reality simulations, which combine elements of both virtual and augmented reality, offers immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance teacher training in various ways. These simulations…

Purpose: Digital twin enabled e-learning (DTEe-L) transitions from traditional instructional design to innovative learner-centered e-learning design. Initially, during the COVID-19 pandemic, DTEe-L demonstrated great promise for significantly optimizing e-learning environments, emerging as a suitable mechanism for innovative and active learning,…

Concerningly, pre-service teachers might utilize practices during practicum and student teaching experiences in ways that are less than satisfactory, or even harmful, to students, peers, or mentors. Mixed reality simulation (MRS), an educational tool for practicing teaching skills, may be a warranted approach to field experience that limits…

This mixed methods study explored how the making of animated models affected year 11 students' understanding of the effect of temperature on the equilibrium of an exothermic or endothermic reaction. The students' perspectives and the role of the activity in facilitating a metacognitive process were also examined. Teacher perspectives were also…

Facial expression synthesis in virtual environments is critical for educational applications, yet existing systems struggle to balance realism, cultural inclusion, and accessibility. This paper presents a multidimensional framework derived from a systematic review of 127 studies (2014-2024). The framework addresses three key tensions: (1) the…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of using VR technology on the academic self-efficacy, self-regulation, academic motivation and academic performance of Iranian eighth-grade pupils in the field of experimental sciences. The research employed a quasi-experimental model with two experimental groups and a control group. A pre-test and…

Computer game play has been criticized for disrupting family life by some who claim digital fantasy play alienates individuals from everyday interactions, even as others hold that such play increases sociability among players and their families. The authors argue that the truth about game play is more complex. They draw on research using…

Technological developments bring along lots of innovations. One of the innovations that have become widespread in recent years is the concept of augmented reality. In current scientific literature there are a lot of studies in literature about augmented reality which can be defined as the combination of real and virtual worlds, experienced by…

"Proceedings of International Conference on Research in Education and Science" includes full papers presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) which took place on March 24-27, 2022 in Antalya, Turkey. The aim of the conference is to offer opportunities to share ideas, to discuss theoretical and…

The psychological effects of information technology (IT) use have been widely reported and assessed in the literature. However, although concerns are growing regarding the potential physiological impacts of IT use on the health of IT users, assessment of this issue is currently hampered by the lack of an appropriate information-system (IS)…

Augmented reality (AR) has gained popularity in K-12 education in the past decades; researchers and educators generally agree that AR is a useful pedagogical tool in teaching because it is grounded on efficient teaching and learning models such as constructivist learning, situated learning, and inquiry-based learning. Research on AR in the K-12…
