Horota, Rafael Kenji; Rossa, Pedro; Marques, Ademir; Gonzaga, Luiz; Senger, Kim; Cazarin, Caroline Lessio; Spigolon, Andre; Veronez, Mauricio Roberto – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Digital outcrop models (DOMs) have facilitated quantitative and qualitative studies in digital and virtual environments of source and reservoir rock analogs important to the oil industry. The use of immersive virtual reality (iVR) to extend field experiences has motivated several research groups to develop software integrating iVR techniques with…

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…

Fatima Rahioui; Mohammed Ali Tahri Jouti; Mohammed El Ghzaoui – Journal of Educators Online, 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now affecting all aspects of our social lives. Without always knowing it, we interact daily with intelligent systems. They serve us invisibly. At least that is the goal we assign to them: to make our lives better, task by task. Artificial intelligence has the potential to make biology education more engaging,…

Yousri Attia Mohamed Abouelenein; Shaimaa Abdul Salam Selim; Mohamed Ali Nagy Elmaadaway – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
It might be challenging for pre-service science teachers to apply their theoretical knowledge in the laboratory. Any attempt to shift the perspective in chemistry will necessitate the creation of novel techniques for elucidating theoretical themes. Examining how a virtual chemistry lab has affected the evolution and trend of scientific practice…

Mikeska, Jamie N.; Shekell, Calli; Dix, Jennifer; Lottero-Perdue, Pamela S. – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2022
Facilitating discussions is a key approach that science teachers use to engage students in scientific argumentation. However, learning how to facilitate argumentation-focused discussions is an ambitious teaching practice that can be difficult to learn how to do well, especially for preservice teachers (PSTs) who typically have limited…

Yap, Wei Hsum; Teoh, Ming Li; Tang, Yin Quan; Goh, Bey-Hing – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
This study presents an evaluation of integrating virtual laboratory simulations in assessment design of a biotechnology course at Taylor's University in Malaysia before, during and post-COVID recovery phases. The purpose was to investigate how virtual laboratory simulations were integrated as part of the assessments of a practical-embedded…

Makransky, Guido; Andreasen, Niels K.; Baceviciute, Sarune; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
We investigated the instructional effectiveness of using an interactive and immersive virtual reality (IVR) simulation versus a video for teaching scientific knowledge in 2 between-subjects experiments. In Experiment 1, 131 high school students (84 females) used a science simulation that involved forensic analysis of a collected DNA sample in a…

Kalthoff, Herbert; Wiesemann, Jutta; Lange, Jochen; Roehl, Tobias – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2020
For the everyday education of students in schools, objects are made available to teachers that illustrate subject matter and make it comprehensible. These objects are created to make something visible, so that it can be presented, worked on, and understood. This article starts from the assumption that didactic objects are not neutral media: In the…

Reeves, Thomas; Romine, William; Laffey, James; Sadler, Troy; Goggins, Sean – Grantee Submission, 2020
Mission HydroSci (MHS) is a 3D game-based learning environment and curriculum that supports middle school student learning of water systems science and scientific argumentation. MHS is a rigorous, coherent and engaging 6 to 8-day curriculum with all learning activities and social interactions taking place in the virtual world and with teachers…

Gerhátová, Žaneta; Perichta, Peter; Palcut, Marián – Education Sciences, 2020
This work presents the results of two-year-long pedagogical research, the aim of which was to demonstrate the applicability of the usage of a new strategy in education--Integrated e-Learning (INTe-L)--through its introduction into project-based physics teaching in Slovakia. The INTe-L strategy is built around the role of experiments and…

Coleman, Sarah K.; Smith, Caroline L. – Higher Education Pedagogies, 2019
Virtual laboratory simulations are commercially available to train students; these creative resources are available to complete remotely without traditional time and safety restrictions of laboratory-based practical classes. We introduced a Health and Safety virtual laboratory simulation to a core large first-year science module. Having surveyed…

Penn, Mafor; Ramnarain, Umesh – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
This mixed method study investigated changes in 3rd year Bachelor of Education students' attitudes towards chemistry after learning interventions with virtual chemistry simulations. After participant students identified certain concepts from their 3rd year chemistry module as being abstract and not easily comprehensible, these concepts were…

Dyrberg, Nadia Rahbek; Treusch, Alexander H.; Wiegand, Claudia – Journal of Biological Education, 2017
Potential benefits of simulations and virtual laboratory exercises in natural sciences have been both theorised and studied recently. This study reports findings from a pilot study on student attitude, motivation and self-efficacy when using the virtual laboratory programme Labster. The programme allows interactive learning about the workflows and…

Huynh, Trongnghia; Hou, Gene; Wang, Jin – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
We have conducted an education project to communicate the wave energy concept to high school students. A virtual reality system that combines both hardware and software is developed in this project to simulate the buoy-wave interaction. This first-of-its-kind wave energy unit is portable and physics-based, allowing students to conduct a number of…
