A challenge for the virtual reality (VR) industry is facing is that VR is not immersive enough to make people feel a genuine sense of presence: the low frame rate leads to dizziness and the lack of human body visualization limits the human-computer interaction. In this dissertation, I present our research on enhancing visual and gestural fidelity…

Contribution: The scheme for virtual emulation experiments based on discrete logic which appropriately lowers students' cognitive burden and possesses manipulatable interactive logic in tune with real experiments is put forward. The relationship between students' experiential learning and the influence of cognitive burden is also discussed.…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a learning design based entirely on the micro level strategies of the "Synthesis of Qualitative Data" (SQD) model is better suited to promote teachers augmented and virtual reality-related "Will," "Skill," and "Tool" (WST) compared to a learning design…

This paper explores assessment approaches within the unique context of Extended Reality (XR) learning environments, which offer immersive and contextualized experiences. Focusing on STEM disciplines, the paper presents four distinctive XR-based assessment cases, exploring the discipline, context, purpose, and results of each. These insights aim to…

This study examines the scientific studies on the use of virtual environments and simulation programs in teacher training programs. Firstly, a search was made in the Web of Science database using the keywords simSchool and TeachLive. Four of the studies obtained as a result of the screening were excluded for various reasons (such as duplicate or…

This article discusses how the term metaverse and the use of virtual worlds is not novel. Beginning with the use of the metaverse for learning starting in the 1990s, the author provides an overview of metaverse, immersion in virtual worlds, their use, and research conducted on them. The article ends with an outline of emerging trends and possible…

In the April 2018 issue of "TPT," Joseph Amato presented an analysis of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) trajectories as applied to recent test launches from North Korea. Using properties of their elliptical paths, he derived relationships between launch velocity, elevation angle, and maximum range. However, this approach cannot…

Virtual laboratory simulations can contribute to the educational objectives related to practical classes, especially in situations of online or hybrid teaching. We present a proposal for laboratory activity involving the quantification of proteins with the biuret reaction and measurement by visible light spectrometry. The student will be able to…

At the end of the 18th-century, Charles Coulomb developed an apparatus to study the force between two electrified beads which allowed him to obtain his famous Coulomb's law. Today, as one of the most fundamental outcomes in classical electromagnetism, his result is revisited in most high school physics courses, where students are asked to…

Competency-based education in social work (CSWE, 2022) demands active learning methods that demonstrate professional competencies and practice behaviors. Role-plays and simulations are methods that link learning in the classroom with practice. This article explores role-play and simulation variants: basic role-play, real play, student-scripted…

Virtual reality (VR) technology has been widely used in nursing laboratory courses to effectively making up for the shortcomings of traditional teaching. However, challenges such as cell phone addiction, negative emotions, and reduced communication between teachers and students still exist during the application process, which makes it difficult…

The increasing use of mobile devices in educational settings is mainly attributable to the significant contributions made by technological advancements. These devices now make it possible to incorporate mobile applications, such as augmented reality (AR), in order to provide students with learning disabilities with assistance in improving their…

Background: Today, active video games, in which players' own body movements are used to control the avatar, can be used to teach students motor skills by providing concurrent feedback. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of concurrent and delayed feedback on basketball free throw learning. Methods: Thirty female students…

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) is expected to create a greater sense of presence that might improve students' laboratory learning experiences. However, little research has verified the influence of presence on students' perceptions toward immersive laboratory learning. The current study, which is based on the expectation confirmation model,…

Students are unable to view each other's VR content created with 360-degree video technology using head-mounted displays and discuss it in real-time. This limitation may confine the application of 360degree video technology in the field of intercultural learning to merely passive observation of cultural content on individual devices, thereby…
