Tao Xie; Hanyu Zhang; Yunong Yang – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
A significant body of research has focused on the impact of immersive virtual reality (IVR) on vocabulary retention, but little is known about how to integrate language learning theories in IVR-mediated vocabulary learning. This study aims to examine the effect of IVR that integrate input processing model on vocabulary retention for elementary…

Webb, Mary; Tracey, Megan; Harwin, William; Tokatli, Ozan; Hwang, Faustina; Johnson, Ros; Barrett, Natasha; Jones, Chris – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
This paper reports on a study which designed and developed a multi-fingered haptic interface in conjunction with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of a section of the cell membrane in order to enable students to work collaboratively to learn cell biology. Furthermore, the study investigated whether the addition of haptic feedback to the 3D…

Hsin-Yi Chang; Chen-Chung Liu; Chi-Ting Wen; Ming-Hua Chang; Shih-Hsun Fan Chiang; Fu-Kwun Hwang – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
One issue facing teachers who implement model-based instruction within the school system is the tight curricular schedule. The 'lesson objective tension' calls for investigations to address instructional issues such as how to organise modelling-based instruction at the curriculum level which is across multiple units. We investigated the effect of…

Grapin, Scott E.; Haas, Alison; Llosa, Lorena; Wendel, Daniel; Pierson, Ashlyn; Lee, Okhee – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have spurred renewed interest in the epistemologies that students adopt as they engage in science practices. One framework for characterizing students' epistemologies is the "epistemologies in practice" framework (Berland et al. (2016), "Journal of Research in Science Teaching,"…

Xiang, Lin; Goodpaster, Sagan; Mitchell, April – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2022
The "Next Generation Science Standards" call for engaging K-12 students in three-dimensional learning, in which students make sense of phenomena or solve problems by simultaneously using science and engineering practices (SEPs), crosscutting concepts (CCCs), and disciplinary core ideas (DCIs). Decades of education research suggest…

Sun-Joo Cho; Amanda Goodwin; Matthew Naveiras; Paul De Boeck – Grantee Submission, 2024
Explanatory item response models (EIRMs) have been applied to investigate the effects of person covariates, item covariates, and their interactions in the fields of reading education and psycholinguistics. In practice, it is often assumed that the relationships between the covariates and the logit transformation of item response probability are…

Kun-Hung Cheng – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
This study aimed to establish a fully 3D modeled immersive virtual reality (IVR) system for primary school students learning about plants and evaluate teachers' perceptions of the usage of the system and pupils' flow experiences and learning attitudes. There were 5 teachers with expertise in science and IVR experience who were first interviewed to…

Salvatore G. Garofalo – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study examined the effectiveness of three instructional and assessment strategies on conceptual understanding of the DNA molecule. Specifically, a model building task was utilized to determine if physical model construction, digital model construction with a touchscreen tablet computer, or paper worksheet activity effected conceptual…

Sun-Joo Cho; Amanda Goodwin; Matthew Naveiras; Jorge Salas – Grantee Submission, 2024
Despite the growing interest in incorporating response time data into item response models, there has been a lack of research investigating how the effect of speed on the probability of a correct response varies across different groups (e.g., experimental conditions) for various items (i.e., differential response time item analysis). Furthermore,…

Emily K. Toutkoushian; Kihyun Ryoo – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2024
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) delineate three interrelated dimensions that describe what students should know and how they should engage in science learning. These present significant challenges for assessment because traditional assessments may not be able to capture the ways in which students engage with content. Science…

Sivri, Seyma Nur; Eroglu, Eylem – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2022
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of modelling and the materials designed with augmented reality technology on the academic success of students, their motivation, and their interest levels towards the science course. The study was conducted in 6th grade science units on "Support and Movement Systems" and…

Baba, Aslihan; Zorlu, Yusuf; Zorlu, Fulya – International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, 2022
This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of augmented reality and modeling-based teaching in the "Solar System and Eclipses" unit. The pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design model was used in this study. For three weeks, the "Solar System and Eclipses" unit of the Science course was taught to the experimental…

Nguyen, Ha; Santagata, Rossella – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Researchers have found that computer modeling fosters the learning of causal mechanisms in systems, an important crosscutting concept in science that many novice learners find challenging. Despite the research that highlights the role of teacher's instructional practices in enacting computer tools, few studies have considered teachers' use of…

Bradley Bowen; Bryanne Peterson – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2024
Modeling and simulation activities are common in secondary technology and engineering education classrooms. Virtual simulations are used to integrate engineering design into classroom instruction. The performance outcomes of a student's final virtual design usually depend on the level of knowledge application. When applying the learned content to…
