The purpose of this research is to develop the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and fieldwork with teenagers in two compulsory schools in the capital city area of Iceland. The study aims to understand how teenagers succeed in an enquiry driven work combining simple digital tools, such as mobile phones, when making 360° photos, analysing opportunities…

Concepts related to molecular structure are often challenging for students to visualize and comprehend. Augmented reality has emerged as a promising solution to this problem, providing students with opportunities to manipulate and visualize chemical molecular structures to improve their understanding. Furthermore, collaborative learning…

This research aimed to explore the dimensions and implications of the early use and integration of metaverses in public high schools in the region of the Altos de Chiapas, Mexico, through a sequential mixed methods approach. Initially, a standardized survey was administered to a stratified probabilistic sample of 1402 students from various schools…

In an increasingly globalized world, developing intercultural competence in higher education is highly valued. While there has been a shift towards remote intercultural learning methods, these approaches often lack authentic and immersive experiences. To address this gap, the present study uses spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) to…

Purpose: The paper aims to propose a virtual reality (VR) wisdom teaching model in open university English course from the perspective of "Metaverse". The study aims to testify the stimulation for English learning and the effectiveness of English-expressing with VR tools for adult learners from the practice in a pilot reform project.…

This study aims to make a bibliometric analysis of the augmented reality articles carried out with the experimental method between 2012 and 2022 in the Scopus database. To realize the aim of the research, 255 articles published between 2012-2022 were reached. The bibliometric data of 255 articles from the Scopus database were analyzed using VOS…

Purpose: The beliefs about this subject of N = 223 secondary education teachers were collected through an ex post facto research method using a descriptive and correlational design and a 27-item questionnaire. Design/methodology/approach: The arrival of online learning, in this case m-learning, to secondary education, has made educators in this…

Background: As adequate support, virtual reality (VR) has been increasingly introduced into the classroom to help students learn a new language. However, empirical studies exploring the educational potential of using 360° spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) in high-school Chinese language classrooms are still lacking. Objectives: A mind…

The present study involved an experimental inquiry wherein the researcher examined the possible impact of "textual cues" and "summarising scaffolding" on cognitive load, mental model, and learning performance. The study was conducted on a sample of 122 primary school pupils from Hyderabad, India. It commenced on 20 January 2021…

A review of the literature shows that much academic effort has been expended studying information system usage and information technology adoption. However, these theories/models based on psychological research are not specific to the virtual reality context and may not fully capture the nature of virtual reality-based learning system (VR-BLS)…

This study developed a wearable mixed reality (MR)-based mobile learning system and applied it to museum learning activities to explore whether the proposed system can effectively improve university students' learning outcomes, situational interest, and cognitive load. Four museums were selected as the informal learning sites, and 64 university…

VR has been widely acknowledged for its capacity to allow perspective-taking, increase empathy, engage learners, and facilitate experiential learning; however, the availability, accessibility, and limitations of the content have slowed implementation. One instance of this can be seen in implementing XR content to engage global citizens with…

This study aims to offer a contextual framework for a virtual reality learning environment (VRLE) that would assist in interpreting students' and teachers' expectations on how to use VR in the learning process. Due to the current lack of unified recommendations and principles, as well as framework methods, the structure of VRLE, consisting of 4,…

By adopting a situated and interactional approach, we explore students' immersive VR experiences as resources for collaborative meaning making and learning. We draw on data from a project in which teachers and researchers co-developed a learning design for upper secondary students involving immersive VR technology. In this learning design,…

A smart learning environment (SLE) encompasses the use of advanced technology and smart pedagogical teaching skills tailored to suit students with diverse learning needs. In recent years, some countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have formulated policies to implement SLE in their education systems. Since students are the intended…
