Emerging technologies are transforming education, necessitating research on their optimal integration. This article introduces an Intelligent Virtual Reality (IVR) approach that incorporates Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) through two GAI-powered pedagogical characters, aiming to address educational needs. This qualitative descriptive…

Mindfulness practices have proven to be effective for improving the mental health of many populations, including university students. However, these practices can be challenging for naive meditators. Virtual reality (VR) can create virtual scenarios that facilitate the practice of mindfulness. This study presents secondary data from a randomized…

This paper examines the perspectives of educators on whether internationalisation at a distance (IaD) democratises student mobility in higher education. Adopting a collaborative autoethnographic approach, the analysis focuses on the perspectives of educators involved in virtual mobility practices in relation to three prompts: (1) IaD's capacity…

Virtual reality (VR) presents an innovative and powerful approach to foreign language teaching, offering immersive and interactive environments that support vocabulary acquisition in engaging and meaningful ways. This study investigates the potential of VR using the self-developed application GermanVR, specifically designed to enhance vocabulary…

Cultural understanding and awareness are crucial for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, yet effective learning of the target culture often remains a challenge in traditional classrooms. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) introduces an innovative avenue for cultural learning by enabling learners to experience the target cultures in a more…

This study explores the impact of metaverse on vocational skills training in higher vocational education in my country, focusing on practical experience, professional knowledge, innovation ability, and technical proficiency and assessing the level of students using metaverse to improve technical and vocational skills.

This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

This study aims to examine high school students' artificial intelligence literacy in visual arts subjects and their attitudes toward metaverse-based digital art. The research was conducted using a comparative-relational screening model, one of the screening models. The study sample consisted of 278 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. The…

Technological advancements have introduced new educational methods that, when combined with appropriate pedagogical foundations, transform the landscape of education. This study investigates the knowledge, skills, attitudes and challenges faced by teachers of deaf students (DSTs) in integrating Augmented Reality (AR) technology into their teaching…

Workers in many vocations rely on a wide range of information to solve problems, including Dutch municipal enforcement officials (MEOs) who require this skill when planning surveillance routes. The present study focused on the development of a digital simulation game intended for assessing domain-specific information problem solving (IPS) in…

The development of accurate spatial conceptualisations of molecular biology structures, processes and interactions represents a critical learning outcome for a wide array of life sciences students. In this study, we investigated student learning through a bespoke virtual reality (VR) simulation focused on interactive assembly of an expression…

Despite the increasing use of digital tools in education, limited research has explored their combined impact on both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the effect of integrating GeoGebra technology through Augmented Reality (AR) and microgames on students' motivation,…

With the growing availability of immersive technologies, such as Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), students are now afforded greater opportunities to explore diverse educational domains, including Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STREAM). However, there remains a paucity of research investigating the efficacy of…

Purpose: This study aims to explore how virtual reality (VR) can enhance the teaching of history to trainee early childhood teachers, particularly by leveraging local cultural heritage. It evaluates the effectiveness of VR in developing historical understanding, technical usability and emotional engagement. Design/methodology/approach: A…

As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, this paper analyzes participants' experiences playing an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience that explores gender and sexuality-based marginalization in STEM fields.
