Kyungbin Kwon; Thomas A. Brush; Keunjae Kim; Minhwi Seo – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2025
This study examined the effects of embodied learning experiences on students' understanding of computational thinking (CT) concepts and their ability to solve CT problems. In a mixed-reality learning environment, students mapped CT concepts, such as sequencing and loops, onto their bodily movements. These movements were later applied to robot…

Karen Jo Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a simulation with worked examples on the creation of episodic memories and the troubleshooting ability of maintenance technician students. Previous research shows that domain knowledge, conceptual knowledge, strategic knowledge, and episodic memories are all required to successfully…

Newman, Daniel S.; McIntire, Hannah; Barrett, Courtenay A.; Gerrard, Mary K.; Villarreal, Julia N.; Kaiser, Lauren T. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Applying qualitative content analysis methods, this study focuses on how school psychology graduate student consultants responded to a simulated request for assistance by a teacher. Seventy-three total students participated in the study before they had engaged in their first course on school consultation. Additionally, transcripts were analyzed…

Arican, Muhammet; Özçakir, Bilal – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
The literature reports preservice teachers' overuse of proportionality when solving geometric similarity problems with nonproportional relationships. Changing this type of error is reported as difficult even after applying certain interventions. As a solution to this type of error, this study used augmented reality activities to facilitate the…

Shim, Hyoyoung; Lee, Hyangeun – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Virtual reality (VR) technology is playing a crucial role in the changing paradigm of education. In many cases, however, VR technology is not being taught because of the lack of relevant educational content at middle and high school levels. This study investigates the effect of design education using VR-based coding on students' competence and…

Elkjaer, Morten; Thomsen, Lui A. – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2022
This article presents the theoretical considerations leading to the design and development of a digital experience for teaching linear equations using a modified balance model for equation solving. We modified the balance to alter physics behaviour in a virtual reality (VR) experience, to strengthen students' schemes for solving linear equations…

Solving real-life problems through mathematical modeling is one of the aims of modern mathematics curricula. For this reason, prospective mathematics teachers need to acquire modeling skills and use these skills in learning environments in terms of creating rich learning environments. With this study, it is aimed to examine the reflections of…

Merve Aydin; Ünal Çakiroglu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Students experience higher-order thinking skills by finding ways to solve the problem, debugging errors while applying the solution, and testing the solution in programming. However, the inability to create schemas that will characterise programming structures is one of the difficulties during this process. Objectives: This study aimed…

Holly M. Long; Emily C. Bouck; Carrie O'Reilly – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2024
Providing high-quality services to students with disabilities in rural settings can be challenging, as rural schools often lack resources both in and out of the classroom. One potential option to provide high-quality mathematics instruction to students with disabilities in rural areas is using virtual manipulatives and online instruction. In this…

Haiyan Wang; Wenping Wang; Qian Fan; Simi Rong; Yiting Liu – Cogent Education, 2024
This study focuses on the problem of 'teachers' teaching' and 'students' learning' in college education courses. It aims to introduce the Deep Learning theory into the teaching of ideological and political theory courses in universities; deepen the theoretical framework of education courses and the associated learning, maintenance, promotion, and…

Wibowo, Firmanul Catur – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2023
Augmented Reality (AR) based learning provides real experiences for educators and new strategies for presenting physics concepts but also provides opportunities for students to interact interactively, spontaneously, and interestingly. Previous research has shown that AR has many advantages in education, but only a few focus on Independent…

Noll, Jennifer; Kirin, Dana; Clement, Kit; Dolor, Jason – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
Using simulation approaches when conducting randomization tests for comparing two groups in the context of experimental studies has been promoted as a beneficial approach for supporting student learning of statistical inference. Many researchers have suggested that the data production process in simulations for the randomization test intuitively…

Elford, Daniel; Lancaster, Simon J.; Jones, Garth A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
An educational escape activity was developed, embedding elements of both augmented and immersive virtual reality technologies, in an active learning environment. The mental visualization of abstract concepts can be difficult for students, inhibiting their ability to reason cogently regarding important topics of stereochemistry. Consequently, an…
