Emerging technologies can potentially transform education through student engagement. The aim of our study is threefold. Firstly, we aspired to examine the validity and reliability of Reeve and Tsengs' 4-construct (emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and agentic) engagement scale (EBCA scale). Secondly, we aimed to examine whether and to what extent…

This study investigates subjective vitality (SV) within the context of high-immersion virtual reality (VR) and video-based language learning. Within the framework of a blended learning curriculum, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students (N = 111) participated in a relaxing language learning activity delivered via VR or video. This study…

Contribution: Project-based learning is a widely used learning approach that has proven itself effective in engineering education. This article describes a generalized model to teach undergraduate students the concepts of dc electric motors using project-based learning through a complete module that consists of modeling and simulation, and…

The use of a Practice set (case simulation) as an assessment task in management accounting is aimed at providing students with a practical experience in the application of a form of simulated real-world events. The pedagogical justification for the use of a case simulation is inherent in the concept referred to as "learn-by-doing"…

In this paper, the SOLO taxonomy is used to identify different levels of student understanding of the statistical concepts associated with sampling distribution. This study was part of a research project investigating students' conceptual understanding of concepts of hypothesis testing taught with the support of simulation learning activities. The…

This research examined the possibility of using Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and Total Physical Response (TPR) as a new method of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study sought to explore the potential benefits of this integration of methodologies in order to facilitate…

This study investigates how vocational education and training prepares students for future professions characterized by technological advancements and demands for sustainability and innovation. Specifically, it examines simulator-based learning in the Natural Resource Program at three upper secondary schools in Sweden. Using a sociomaterial…

Virtual reality (VR) has attracted increasing interest for its potential to enhance second language acquisition through immersive and interactive experiences. However, effectively integrating VR with established language teaching pedagogy remains a critical challenge. This study addresses that gap by embedding the principles of task-based language…

The use of Simulation-Based Learning (SBL) has increased in Nutrition and Dietetic (N&D) programs, although the research supporting its usability in N&D students is lacking. There are limited quality SBL instruments available that have been validated and tested for reliability in N&D students preparing for clinical practice. This…

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is the most popular electrochemical technique for the study of electrode processes. One of the reasons for its popularity is its adjustable timescale which can vary several orders of magnitude simply by varying the rate at which the potential is scanned. Changing the scan rate affects CV features including the current,…

There has been great progress towards Reinforcement Learning (RL) approaches that can achieve expert performance across a wide range of domains. However, researchers have not yet applied these models to learn expert models for educationally relevant tasks, such as those taught within tutoring systems and educational games. In this paper we explore…

Engaging activities are increasingly a staple in higher education. Professional programs, including business, engineering, and healthcare, rely on engaging activities to better prepare students for their future careers. Experiential learning can be achieved through a wide variety of approaches that can generally be classified as hands-on…

Creativity and problem-solving are 21st-century skills that we need to develop in our students. Research on computational thinking (CT) integration in school subjects and STEAM activities has shown a positive effect on students' problem-solving skills and creativity. Our study extends our previous work from the integration of CT in a mathematics…

Background: Augmented reality has been widely applied in various fields, and its benefits in language learning have been increasingly recognized. However, the investigation of effective learning behaviours and processes in augmented reality learning environments, taking into account temporality and analysis of differences in learning behaviours…

Cinemeducation has been used for diverse teaching objectives in medical education. To our knowledge, there are no published accounts of using cinemeducation in combination with simulation. We designed a pedagogical activity combining cinemeducation and simulation in a programme to teach patient safety. This paper aims to describe the design and…
