Learning Experience Design with Immersive Virtual Reality in Physics Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Georgiou, Yiannis; Tsivitanidou, Olia; Ioannou, Andri – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) simulations are argued to support students' learning of complex scientific phenomena via the use of realistic graphics and interactions that students can hardly experience in everyday life. However, the integration of immersive VR simulations in science classrooms introduces new challenges, whilst there is a lack of…

Examining the Hard, Peer, and Teacher Scaffolding Framework in Inquiry-Based Technology-Enhanced Learning Environments: Impact on Academic Achievement and Group Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shin, Suhkyung; Brush, Thomas A.; Glazewski, Krista D. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine how students' academic achievement and group performance related to their perceptions of the usefulness of hard, peer, and teacher scaffolds. A single instrumental case approach that integrated quantitative and qualitative analysis was employed for this study, which involved data gathered from 163 students…

Metaconceptually-Enhanced Simulation-Based Inquiry: Effects on Eighth Grade Students' Conceptual Change and Science Epistemic Beliefs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Huang, Kun; Ge, Xun; Eseryel, Deniz – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
This study investigated the effects of metaconceptually-enhanced, simulation-based inquiry learning on eighth grade students' conceptual change in science and their development of science epistemic beliefs. Two experimental groups studied the topics of motion and force using the same computer simulations but with different simulation guides: one…

The Use of Wikis in a Science Inquiry-Based Project in a Primary School
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lau, Wilfred W. F.; Lui, Vicky; Chu, Samuel K. W. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
This study explored the use of wikis in a science inquiry-based project conducted with Primary 6 students (aged 11-12). It used an online wiki-based platform called PBworks and addressed the following research questions: (1) What are students' attitudes toward learning with wikis? (2) What are students' interactions in online group collaboration…

Unraveling the Motivational Effects and Challenges of Web-Based Collaborative Inquiry Learning across Different Groups of Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Raes, Annelies; Schellens, Tammy – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
This study deals with the implementation of a web-based collaborative inquiry (WISE) project in secondary science education and unravels the contribution and challenges of this learning approach to foster students' motivation to learn science, and its relation with student and class-level characteristics. An empirical mixed methods study in 13…

The Triarchic Theory of Intelligence and Computer-based Inquiry Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Howard, Bruce C.; McGee, Steven; Shin, Namsoo; Shia, Regina – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2001
Discussion of the triarchic theory of intelligence focuses on a study of ninth graders that explored the relationships between student abilities and the cognitive and attitudinal outcomes that resulted from student immersion in a computer-based inquiry environment. Examines outcome variables related to content understanding, problem solving, and…
