The effectiveness of classroom management has the effect of improving the sense of accomplishment and happiness of teachers. However, many pre-service teachers have often failed to be fully prepared in terms of training, making them have a significant gap with senior educators in terms of classroom management skills. This gap raises a critical…

Background Study: Virtual reality (VR) is becoming a popular technology for safety training in construction. Several VR training prototypes have been designed and tested, which show they can perform better than traditional training tools. However, most of these existing tools are not underpinned by clear pedagogical theory, and studies assessing…

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving emergency procedure. To increase survival rates, it is recommended to increase the number of high school students who know how to perform CPR. We have developed an immersive "Virtual Reality (VR) Resuscitation Training" to train the theoretical knowledge of CPR in which trainees must…

Over the past decade, virtual reality (VR) has re-emerged as a popular technology trend. This is mainly due to the recent investments from technology companies that are improving VR systems while increasing consumer access and interest. Amongst many applications of VR, one area that is particularly promising is for pedagogy. The immersive,…

This study examined participatory simulation-based learning of teaching in a virtual reality (VR) supported learning environment and its affordance for alternative perspectives taking. This VR-supported, embodiment-integrated learning environment is designed to enable collaborative and contextualized microteaching practicing by university teaching…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of augmented reality (AR) technology on the achievements, self-efficacy beliefs and views of paramedic students in electrocardiography education. In the study, mixed methods including quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The sample of the study included a total of 71 first-year…

The use of augmented reality (AR) in vocational education and training can still be considered as being in its infancy, although interest in it is growing in response both to its potential for teaching and its adoption as a practical tool in various industry sectors. One example of early-stage AR use is illustrated from a practicum for training…

Background: Immersive virtual reality (VR) is increasingly used in organizational training interventions. However, few studies have systematically investigated VR compared to standard training methods in actual organizational contexts. Objectives: The focus of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a VR simulation for training…

Despite the growth in the use of serious games to train and evaluate cross-cultural competence, few studies have examined the content and dialogue development methods associated with these training systems. This study presents a framework for generating content for serious games targeting culturally appropriate communication and an evaluation of a…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of one consultation course on the development of pre-service school psychologists' consultation knowledge, confidence, and skills. Computer-simulation was used as a means to replicate the school environment and capture consultants' engagement throughout the consultation process without…

Despite recent advancements in the field of Autism, young adults with a diagnosis of ASD continue to struggle working and living independently (Thompson, 2013). Competitive employment is a quality of life indicator (Garcia-Villamisar & Hughes, 2007; Garcia-Villamisar, Wehman, & Navarro, 2002; Hendricks, 2010; Hurlbutt & Chalmers, 2010;…

Research on simulator training has rarely focused on the way simulated contexts are constructed collaboratively. This study sheds light on how structuring role-play and fostering social interactions may prove fruitful for designing simulator training. The article reports on a qualitative study of nautical students training in a ship simulator. The…

In order to understand (1) what kind of students can be facilitated through the help of three-dimensional virtual learning environment (3D VLE), and (2) the relationship between a conventional test (ie, paper and pencil test) and the 3D VLE used in this study, the study designs a 3D virtual supermarket (3DVS) to help students transform their role…

The focus of this study is using data glove to practice Joint attention skill in virtual reality environment for people with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). The virtual reality environment provides a safe environment for PDD people. Especially, when they made errors during practice in virtual reality environment, there is no suffering or…

Human factors (HF) is a discipline often drawn upon when there is a need to train people to perform complex, high-stakes tasks and effectively assess their performance. Complex tasks often present unique challenges for training and assessment. HF has developed specialized techniques that have been effective in overcoming several of these…
