This study examines the impact of various factors on teachers' anxiety toward teaching in Virtual Reality (VR) environments. Specifically, the research proposes a hypothetical model and investigates the influence of technical proficiency, self-efficacy, and school support on VR teaching anxiety. A total of 329 teachers with prior experience in VR…

This article introduces the development process of social presence-enabled augmented reality (SPEAR) tool, an innovative augmented reality (AR) based learning application tailored for online engineering education. SPEAR focuses on a learning module of structural beam-bending, empowering users to seamlessly integrate 3-D virtual beams into their…

Virtual reality (VR) has gained prominence and a growing prevalence. However, parental attitudes toward using VR for educational purposes (i.e., educational VR (EVR)) are under-researched. This study investigates parents' perceptions and experiences regarding the use of EVR, focussing on mathematics learning. Using the technology acceptance model…

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)…

Education equity has become a critical sustainable development goal worldwide, and it has aroused significant concern among educators. While virtual teaching communities have emerged as an approach to minimizing educational inequity through resource sharing and information exchange, the achievement of deep collaboration among individuals remains…

This study examines the factors influencing science teachers' intentions to adopt gamified virtual reality (VR) in educational settings, employing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) as theoretical frameworks. We investigate how perceived threats, benefits, and motivational and cognitive factors impact these…

Background: This study aims to explore the diverse applications of contemporary technological innovations in education and to propose effective strategies for their integration into the curriculum, addressing the complexities and collaborative efforts required for meaningful learning experiences. Methods: This systematic review examines the…

In virtual laboratories, various cognitive aids are used to improve students' performance and assist them while completing experimental tasks. However, excessive use of cognitive aids in virtual laboratories can lead to a cognitive load on students which affects their performance. In this paper, we proposed the concept of adaptive aids virtual…

Background: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties recognizing emotions. Studies showed that virtual reality (VR) and computerized training programs might be used as potential tools for enhancing emotion recognition in such people. However, some inconsistencies were observed between the studies. Objective: In the current…

In this case study a digital game "Fantasy Ice Frolicking" was developed to evaluate the application of digital technology in the transmission of cultural heritage. This study adopted multiple qualitative research methods. Data were collected and analyzed through literature analysis, field research, interviews, observations, and user…

Virtual Reality has the potential to transform educational experiences. This evolution, from the earliest days of projecting and viewing stereoscopic static images to the immersive headset experiences possible today, allows VR to transport students to new locations, enable them to participate in virtual spaces and simulations, and design 3-D…

This study investigates the individual difference antecedents of students' behavioural intention to use VR-based learning systems, especially from an integrated perspective of Big Five personality traits and perceived physiological vulnerability to IT use (PPVITU). Data collected from 149 respondents are tested against the research model using the…

Aim/Purpose: The study seeks to utilize Augmented Reality (AR) in creating virtual laboratories for engineering education, focusing on enhancing teaching methodologies to facilitate student understanding of intricate and theoretical engineering principles while also assessing engineering students' acceptance of such laboratories. Background: AR, a…

Attention and emotional states are crucial factors that influence the learning quality of learners engaged in online learning. Nevertheless, controversies exist regarding the effectiveness of enhancing attention and emotions compared to face-to-face learning. Through a comparative analysis of learners' attention and emotional states in…

One of the promises of edu-metaverse is its ability to provide a virtual environment that enables us to engage in learning activities that are similar to or on par with reality. The digital enhancements introduced in a virtual environment contribute to our increased expectations of novel learning experiences. However, despite its promising…
