This study presents a rollercoaster activity including virtual reality and following the six-steps engineering design process. In the study, a real-life problem involving a rollercoaster accident was given to 12 pre-service science teachers first. The participants were then asked to imagine, plan, create, and test a rollercoaster without an…

Virtual reality (VR) creates immersive environments that allow students to visualize and explore complex subjects in ways that traditional methods cannot achieve. This is the first systematic review examining VR to enhance skill acquisition in physical education (PE) in higher education in the 21st century. This study aims to analyze and explore…

Future success for online teaching can be described in terms of competencies, the knowledge, skills, and affect and motivation that as component parts undergird successful performance, or in terms of competence, the behaviors that demonstrate ability to perform in an online setting. Either framing could aid higher education to consider how to…
