Fatma Karaismailoglu; Mehtap Yildirim – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Spatial ability has an important place in science education, which is effective in raising future scientists. Although not in large numbers, studies show that teachers' spatial abilities somehow affect their teaching practices in the classroom and thus the spatial abilities of their students. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate…

Cardoso, Josué; Caetano, Diego; Abreu, Raphael; Quadros, João; dos Santos, Joel; Ogasawara, Eduardo; Lignani, Leonardo – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
This paper analyzes Sim-Evolution, an educational simulator designed to help teachers presenting three basic principles of the theory of evolution by natural selection (TENS): the trait variation within a population, the heritability of trait variation, and the selective survival based on heritable traits. Sim-Evolution focuses on high school…

Coan, Heather A.; Goehle, Geoff; Youker, Robert T. – Journal of Teaching and Learning, 2020
The commercialization of virtual reality (VR) hardware has enabled the use of VR as an educational tool. We describe how a VR platform was used to create molecular visualizations using standard PDB files with the purpose of delivering biochemistry and cellular biology lessons for undergraduates. Specifically, we describe two new software modules,…

Rueda, Christian Jonathan Angel; Godínes, Juan Carlos Valdés; Rudman, Paul Douglas – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2018
Aim/Purpose: This paper provides a general-purpose categorization scheme for assessing the utility of new and emerging three-dimensional interactive digital environments (3D-IDEs), along with specific pedagogic approaches that are known to work. It argues for the use of 3D-IDEs on the basis of their ludic appeal and ability to provide intrinsic…

Barko, Timothy; Sadler, Troy D. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
This paper looks at the conceptual differences between video game learning and traditional classroom and laboratory learning. It explores the notion of virtual experience by comparing a commonly used high school laboratory protocol on DNA extraction with a similar experience provided by a biotechnology themed video game. When considered…
