Davis, Phillip E.; Fox, Corey J.; DeBode, Jason D.; Peterson, Lori T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2021
A key challenge for educators in business is to incorporate learning tools that mimic the uncertainty and complexity of the real business environment. However, recent advancements in technology have offered new tools that address this challenge. One such increasingly popular tool has been computer simulations. While the use of simulations has…

Klippel, Alexander; Zhao, Jiayan; Jackson, Kathy Lou; La Femina, Peter; Stubbs, Chris; Wetzel, Ryan; Blair, Jordan; Wallgrün, Jan Oliver; Oprean, Danielle – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
The value of field trips is undisputed across disciplines. Field-site visits whether in social or physical sciences provide grounding for place- and discovery-based learning. Yet field trips have limitations that can now be overcome by the promise of immersive technologies that can improve quality and accessibility. This promise is twofold: First,…

Esteve-Mon, Francesc M.; Cela-Ranilla, Jose María; Gisbert-Cervera, Mercè – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
The acquisition of teacher digital competence is a key aspect in the initial training of teachers. However, most existing evaluation instruments do not provide sufficient evidence of this teaching competence. In this study, we describe the design and development process of a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment for evaluating the teacher…

Adams, Deanne M.; Pilegard, Celeste; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
Learning physics often requires overcoming common misconceptions based on naïve interpretations of observations in the everyday world. One proposed way to help learners build appropriate physics intuitions is to expose them to computer simulations in which motion is based on Newtonian principles. In addition, playing video games that require…

Wu, Ko-Chiu; Huang, Po-Yuan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2015
This study developed a game simulation based on problem solving in the management of urban waste. We then investigated the factors affecting the decisions made by players. During gameplay, the players sought to guide the development of a city via management strategies involving a balance of economic growth and environmental protection. Nature…
