Clinical simulation is recognised as an authentic approach that relies on practice through simulations of real situations. The development of scenarios for evidence-based simulations is an important stage in planning simulations. Yet, in teacher education there is a paucity of research on the subject of simulation scenarios. The goal of the…

The present study employed virtual reality technology to develop online learning environments that facilitated student cultural and self-directed learning. Junior high school participants engaged in creating virtual tours, sharing them with peers online, and implementing self-directed learning strategies. A one-group posttest-only design was…

The emergence of Metaverse, a three-dimensional virtual space that enables users to interact in computer-generated environments, has opened up new possibilities for language learning and instruction. This study explored the pedagogical potential and transformative effects of incorporating Metaverse environments in English language teaching, with a…

Teacher training in the technological age is a complex matter requiring thought, action, and research. In this qualitative study, we examined the reflective constructive perspectives of in-service graduate students in the process of training for the education and teaching professions. The current study continues previously published studies…

Introduction: Virtual worlds (VWs) are immersive three-dimensional environments, accessible simultaneously to multiple users, and described as shared, simulated spaces, whose inhabitants represented as avatars. VWs enable freedom of expression. Using VWs in educational contexts requires a shift from teacher-centered instruction to facilitation of…

Augmented reality (AR) technology is increasingly utilized in cognitive development and education of preschoolers. The Augmented Reality Integrated STEM Preschooler (ARISP) module combines AR technology with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in teaching and learning activity. This study aims to assess the impacts of the…

As an emergent technology augmented reality (AR) demonstrated a plethora of advantages in foreign language education, promoting motivation, memorization of contents, as well as contextualized learning. However, the majority of teachers are unfamiliar with AR, and their role as designers and facilitators requires further investigation. Moreover,…

The implementation of computer-based simulations by teachers in the classroom can have a significant and varied impact on students' learning outcomes and engagement. In meta-analyses of the use of computer simulation in the classroom, several studies show a significant impact on students' learning and achievement outcomes. However, the…

Virtual reality (VR) has been found to be effective for increasing student motivation and engagement (Parong & Mayer, 2018), experiential learning (Hu-Au & Lee, 2018), and even improving spatial memory (Pollard et al., 2020). However, few studies have moved beyond the novelty of single-lesson VR experiences, nor have they used VR as the…

Embedded system course requires the manifestation of acquired knowledge through the transfer of the relevant skill set in a hands on environment to achieve the respective course outcome. Laboratory skills provide the optimum exposure and experiential learning to obtain real time solutions for real time problems. The present embedded system course…

E-learning has gained popularity as a method of delivering education recently and offers many advantages to enhance the learning experience for students. Technology allows teachers to design more interactive and engaging lessons that cater to different learning styles. It can also provide opportunities for teachers to incorporate virtual…

This study aimed to understand the utilization of VLE in Non-Arabic Speaking Learners' classrooms from the perspective of Arabic teachers in higher education institutions. Purposive sampling was utilized to pick the research sample for this study. Then, the sample used for this study consisted of 3 Arabic language teachers. One-to-one in-depth…

The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies into education holds immense promise. Virtual Reality has the potential of providing an immersive and interactive learning experience, thus allowing students to engage with educational content in a more meaningful way. As it can be customized and developed for different purposes, VR can be…

A good deal of research has stressed that teaching staff are expected to continuously improve their profession. However, we observed that there is a need for more practical-based research investigating the practices being adopted by teaching staff. Therefore, the present research aimed to explore the effect of a 9-day practical-based training on…

The objective of this research was to understand the current situation and challenges associated with the internationalization of the curriculum (IoC) in English-medium instruction (EMI) programs at Japanese universities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a conceptual framework and ideas of 'enablers' and 'blockers' of IoC, we…
