Wainman, Bruce; Aggarwal, Akanksha; Birk, Sapriya K.; Gill, Jaskaran S.; Hass, Katrina S.; Fenesi, Barbara – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
The novelty of three-dimensional visualization technology (3DVT), such as virtual reality (VR), has captured the interest of many educational institutions. This study's objectives were to (1) assess how VR and physical models impact anatomy learning, (2) determine the effect of visuospatial ability on anatomy learning from VR and physical models,…

Dutton, Nicole A. M. – American Journal of Distance Education, 2023
An increase in online science course offerings requires a closer evaluation of the online laboratory experience. While it has been established that students can successfully learn from online laboratory simulations, there is a lack of knowledge regarding factors that impact student success. Grounded in the constructivist learning theory, a unique…

Nair, Abhilash; Sawtelle, Vashti – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
A common hope of many physics educators and researchers is that students leave the course with a stronger sense that physics is relevant to them than when they entered the course. Multiple survey measures have attempted to measure shifts in students' beliefs on the relevance of physics but frequently the results show a negative shift in students'…

Koutalidi, Sophia; Psallidas, Vassilis; Scoullos, Michael – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
In searching for effective ways to combine science/chemical education with EE/ESD, new didactic materials were designed and produced focussing on biogeochemical cycles and their connection to sustainable development. The materials were experimentally applied in 16 Greek schools under the newly introduced compulsory "school project" which…

Asai, Kikuo; Takase, Norio – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2011
This article presents the characteristics of using a tangible table top environment produced by augmented reality (AR), aimed at improving the environment in which learners observe three-dimensional molecular structures. The authors perform two evaluation experiments. A performance test for a user interface demonstrates that learners with a…

Chang, Y. C.; Peng, H. Y.; Chao, H. C. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2010
In recent years, games have been proven to be an effective tool in supplementing traditional teaching methods. Through game playing, students can strengthen their cognitive-recognition architecture and can gain satisfaction as well as a sense of achievement. This study presents a conceptual framework for examining various effective strategies by…

Lee, Yu-Fen; Guo, Yuying – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2008
The dual purpose of this article is to provide a synthesis of the findings related to the use of computer simulations in physics education and to present implications for teachers and researchers in science education. We try to establish a conceptual framework for the utilization of computer simulations as a tool for learning and instruction in…

Yildiz, Rauf; Atkins, Madeleine – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1996
Examines the effect of 3 different types of multimedia simulation (physical, procedural, and process) for teaching the concept of energy to 14-year-old students. Pre- and posttest results showed significant, consistent cognitive gain for the physical simulation; and a more complex and varied pattern of interaction between type of simulation and…
