Seyhan Eryilmaz Toksoy; Emine Bulut – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
In this research, it was aimed to determine the effect of Simulation-Supported Prediction Observation Explanation (SSPOE) activities related to solid and liquid pressure on the conceptions of learning physics of 10th grade students. In the research, a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group, which is one of the quantitative…

Kasperski, Ronen; Crispel, Orly – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2022
This study explored the contribution of simulation-based learning (SBL) to the developing of interpersonal communication skills. For this purpose, 10 Israeli preservice teachers were interviewed after participating in SBL. In addition, quantitative questionnaires were administered to 30 preservice teachers pre- and post-simulation. The…

Ojo, Oluwasegun Matthew; Owolabi, Olabode Thomas – European Journal of Educational Sciences, 2020
The study investigated the relative effects of two activity-based instructional strategies on students' attitude towards Physics practical in secondary schools. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design of pretest, post-test and control group. The sample for the study comprised 74 Senior Secondary two (SS II) Physics students who were…

Howard, Sheri – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The purpose of this study is to compare satisfaction, self-confidence, and engagement of baccalaureate nursing students using defined observational roles and expectations versus traditional observer role assignments in high fidelity simulation and debriefing and to evaluate student perceptions of these constructs. The NLN/Jeffries Simulation…

Karaman, M. Kemal; Özen, Sevil Orhan – Educational Technology & Society, 2016
In this study, we aimed to design collaborative virtual learning (CVL) activities by using a five-stage model (FSM) and survey of students' experiences. The study group consisted of 14 voluntary students in the Turkish Teaching Department. In this case study, data were collected through observations, recordings in Second Life (SL) and interviews.…

Lan, Yu-Ju; Liao, Chia-Ying – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2018
The study aimed at enhancing Chinese as a second language (CSL) students' listening comprehension by using authentic contexts in Second Life (SL). Twenty-seven CSL students from 4 countries participated in the 6-week study. A within-subject design was adopted to confirm the effects of 3D immersive experiences on CSL students' listening…

Scholz, Kyle W.; Schulze, Mathias – Language Learning & Technology, 2017
Recent research in digital game-based language learning has been encouraging, yet it would benefit from research methods that focus on the gaming processes and second-language development (Larsen-Freeman, 2015) rather than learner/player reflection or individuals' beliefs about the validity of gameplay. This has proven challenging as research…

Chini, Jacquelyn J.; Straub, Carrie L.; Thomas, Kevin H. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
Undergraduate students are increasingly being used to support course transformations that incorporate research-based instructional strategies. While such students are typically selected based on strong content knowledge and possible interest in teaching, they often do not have previous pedagogical training. The current training models make use of…

Määttä, Elina; Järvelä, Sanna; Perry, Nancy – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2016
This study investigated personal and contextual influences to young children's perceived self-efficacy (SE) in social and independent learning situations. The participants were children (n = 24) 6-8 years old from four Finnish elementary school classrooms. First, teachers from each classroom were asked to rate their students' social competence…

Christopoulos, Athanasios; Conrad, Marc; Shukla, Mitul – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2018
This research links learner engagement with interactions when Hybrid Virtual Learning models are used. Various aspects have been considered, such as learners' prior experiences related to virtual worlds, their preconceptions regarding their use as a learning tool, and the impact that instructional designers' choices have on enhancing the…

Dunn, Peter K.; Donnison, Sharn; Cole, Rachel; Bulmer, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution of disease in human populations. This means that authentically teaching primary data collection in epidemiology is difficult as students cannot easily access suitable human populations. Using an action research methodology, this paper studied the use of a virtual human population (called "The…

Killham, Jennifer E.; Saligman, Adam; Jette, Kelli – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2016
This classroom-based action research study investigated the creative implementation of fluency instruction for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners through the use of a virtual character-playing simulation called Place Out of Time (POOT). The researchers sought to identify what supported and impeded student participation in this game-based…

Ibrahim, Karim Hesham Shaker – ProQuest LLC, 2016
The field of game-mediated L2 learning has grown exponentially, and much has been discovered about the potentials of game-mediated interactions for L2 development, yet the fine-grained dynamics of player-game interactions and how they come to facilitate and afford L2 development are still largely underexplored. To address this gap in the…

Rutten, Nico; van der Veen, Jan T.; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
In this study we investigated the pedagogical context of whole-class teaching with computer simulations. We examined relations between the attitudes and learning goals of teachers and their students regarding the use of simulations in whole-class teaching, and how teachers implement these simulations in their teaching practices. We observed…

Bowen, Alec S.; Reid, Daniel R.; Koretsky, Milo D. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2015
In this project, we explore the use of threshold concept theory as a design basis for development of Interactive Virtual Laboratories in thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is a difficult subject for chemical and biological engineering students to master. One reason for the difficulty is the diverse and challenging set of threshold concepts that they…
