Hisao Fukumoto; Tomoki Kamio; Toshihiro Matsuo; Takayuki Nitta; Hideki Shimada; Masashi Ohchi; Hideaki Itoh – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2025
Contribution: A remote laboratory system for induction motors was developed in this study. By creating an original simulated induction motor, the structure of the motor can be observed, and the current and magnetic flux can be measured safely. Background: Electrical machinery has little appeal to young engineers. Such machinery deals with…

Perez-Ramirez, Miguel; Arroyo-Figueroa, G.; Ayala, A. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
The application of virtual reality (VR) technologies is beneficial to the training related to industrial processes. Mainly because the technologies allow training complex threatening tasks within a safe environment. The interactive three-dimensional (3D) representation of a real world seems to be a more effective learning medium than other…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Hwang, Jisoo; Feng, Shi; Rebello, Sanjay; Zu, Tianlong; Kao, Dominic – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous work has identified that the benefits of learning with videogames and learning from simulations. However, recent meta-analytic work has also identified that little research directly compares learning with videogames and learning with simulations. Objectives: This study examines two learning technologies and their corresponding…

VandenPlas, Jessica R.; Herrington, Deborah G.; Shrode, Alec D.; Sweeder, Ryan D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The growing popularity of flipped, blended, and online learning, combined with the need to support a student population with increasingly diverse backgrounds, has led to the development and use of online materials to support students' learning of chemistry outside of a face-to-face classroom. Chemistry simulations provide opportunities to make…

Browning, Fred; Moore, Kaitlyn; Campos, Jennifer – Physics Teacher, 2019
The possibility of negative temperatures on the Kelvin scale is intriguing and confusing simultaneously. This is because students are used to thinking of temperature as a measure of the internal energy of a system. While this concept is good for many systems, it does not work for all systems. Nuclear and electron spin systems, along with lasers…

Kapp, Sebastian; Thees, Michael; Strzys, Martin P.; Beil, Fabian; Kuhn, Jochen; Amiraslanov, Orkhan; Javaheri, Hamraz; Lukowicz, Paul; Lauer, Frederik; Rheinländer, Carl; Wehn, Norbert – Physics Teacher, 2019
During the last decade the development of modern digital media such as smartphones and tablet computers has enabled new experimental possibilities in STEM education. Besides these now nearly ubiquitous devices, the fields of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) also made huge progress and reached education. In this paper we introduce an…

Yau, Chin Doong; Wildan, Ardan; Browning, Aidan; Wijesinghe, Chamaka; Xiao, Kevin; Ng, Tuck Wah – Physics Education, 2020
The glowing discharges of plasma obtained by introducing direct current high voltages between two electrodes in a chamber that contains a low pressure gas produces a spectacular effect that makes it attractive to be used as a laboratory experiment for students. Setting up this experiment is however costly and has crucial safety issues to be…

Kapici, Hasan Ozgur; Akcay, Hakan; Cakir, Hakki – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Inquiry-based learning can be an effective approach when students are provided with sufficient guidance. However, there is an ongoing debate among practitioners about the nature, type, and level of such guidance. This study investigated the effects on middle school students' (N = 116) conceptual knowledge and inquiry skills acquisition of…

Zohar, Asnat R.; Levy, Sharona T. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
This work seeks to solve one of the basic problems in chemistry learning: understanding the chemical bond as a dynamic equilibrium between attractive and repulsive forces. This force-based model is difficult to grasp, as there are no analogues from everyday life for both attractions and repulsions happening simultaneously. In addition, current…

Tirado-Morueta, Ramón; Sánchez-Herrera, Reyes; Márquez-Sánchez, Marco A.; Mejías-Borrero, Andrés; Andujar-Márquez, José Manuel – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Remote lab experiences are proliferating in higher education, although there are still few studies that manage to build a theoretical framework for educational assessment and design of this technology. In order to explore to what extent the use of facilitators of proximity to the laboratory and the autonomy of the experiment makes remote…

López, Víctor; Pintó, Roser – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
Computer simulations are often considered effective educational tools, since their visual and communicative power enable students to better understand physical systems and phenomena. However, previous studies have found that when students read visual representations some reading difficulties can arise, especially when these are complex or dynamic…

Tsai, Fu-Hsing – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2018
This study developed a computer-simulated science inquiry environment, called the Science Detective Squad, to engage students in investigating an electricity problem that may happen in daily life. The environment combined the simulation of scientific instruments and a virtual environment, including gamified elements, such as points and a story for…
