The aim of this paper is to review empirical research on ways to use Augmented Reality (AR) as a pedagogical tool in science teacher education and to identify possibilities and limitations. A literature search was conducted based on published articles in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2023. Eighty-two research articles were screened at…

This mixed methods research study explores the university student learning experience of IP subnetting. Using a constructivist perspective, VR software was designed, written, and utilized in a learning process to gather both quantitative and qualitative data about the experience of learning IP subnetting. Participants underwent pre-test and…

The user interface (UI) is a key component of an interactive software application; therefore, it is important to provide software developers with basic UI design skills. However, teaching UI design is challenging, even at a basic level, and there is little teaching support. In this article, we investigate the benefits of the feedback-enriched…

Background: Students experience higher-order thinking skills by finding ways to solve the problem, debugging errors while applying the solution, and testing the solution in programming. However, the inability to create schemas that will characterise programming structures is one of the difficulties during this process. Objectives: This study aimed…

Little work has been done to investigate the implementation of innovative technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing, during English language arts instruction in juvenile detention facilities. This study explored how technology integration in restricted spaces can lead students to develop connections and empathy toward others. The…

Anatomy studies are an essential part of medical training. The study of neuroanatomy in particular presents students with a unique challenge of three-dimensional spatial understanding. Virtual Reality (VR) has been suggested to address this challenge, yet the majority of previous reports have implemented computer-generated or imaging-based models…

In the three papers that form this dissertation, I inquire about the future of learning (Ross, 2023) through a "postdigital" stance (Jandric, 2017) that I apply to place-based education (PBE) methods and practices (Sobel, 2005; Greenwood, 2008). I argue that a postdigital approach -- one that presupposes technology is "part" of…

Background: Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) have sparked recently in improving the effectiveness of teacher education. However, there is a lack of review regarding the utilisation of these technologies in this field. These three technologies, namely VR, AR and MR, can be collectively referred to as extended…

Emerging virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies in education have the potential to revolutionize the whole educational experience. Studies have shown that before introducing the technology to their pupils, educators should do a thorough assessment of the technology's viability and possible acceptance in the classroom. However,…

The purpose of this qualitative study was to collect data from 18 published augmented reality researchers to determine their perceptions on: (a) how augmented reality will influence high school education in the future; (b) how augmented reality will impact curriculum and instruction, taking into account specific content areas (e.g., science,…

Of the many disruptive technologies being introduced within modern curricula, the metaverse, is of particular interest for its ability to transform the environment in which students learn. The modern metaverse refers to a computer-generated world which is networked, immersive, and allows users to interact with others by engaging a number of senses…

The term "metaverse" refers to a range of technologies, including chip technology, network communication technology, VR/AR/MR/XR technology, game technology (game engine, game code, multimedia resources), and block chain technology. Augmented reality and virtual reality offer numerous potential application. As the social metaverse…

Teaching the complex subject matter of "Exploring Space" necessitates concrete and engaging teaching methods, as it requires students to employ abstract thinking and imagination. An expert team designed and developed Augmented Reality (AR)-based activity schemes for children aged 3-6. A total of 166 preschool students from Ningbo, China,…

The purpose of this review was to (1) analyze the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (iVR) and augmented reality (AR) as teaching/learning resources (collectively called XR-technologies) for gaining anatomy knowledge compared to traditional approaches and (2) gauge students' perceptions of the usefulness of these technologies as learning…

This study investigated the impact of two teaching strategies, conventional and drawing principle, associated with the use of Augmented Reality (AR), on the school performance of pupils in the 7th-year of primary school and the 10th-year of secondary school on volcanism learning. Compared to previous research, the novelty of this study lies in the…
