The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Mobile AR (MAR) supported Flipped Learning Model (FLM) applications on the academic achievement of first year undergraduate students in General Chemistry Laboratory course and to investigate the students' views on MAR supported FLM. In the study carried out with a quasi-experimental design with…

This article explores immersive learning experiences for young learners in a planetarium setting. These experiences open new learning possibilities and ignite children's inquiry and imagination. The authors describe a naturalistic observational study that examines two immersive planetarium programs for young children. Data was collected as…

The comprehension of renal physiology is challenging for undergraduate students. Augmented reality (AR) offers a promising tool to improve comprehension of complex mechanisms. This study examines the students' perceptions and the effectiveness of an AR-based learning sequence on pre- and poststudent drawings of renal physiology. Three cohorts in…

Virtual Reality (VR) provides an immersive learning (IL) experience by simulating real-world scenarios that bridge the gap between theory and application. VR simulations are interactive and enhance student engagement across a range of concepts, from simple to complex. India and Russia share similar cultural and historical backgrounds, and both are…

Theoretical background: Research in social virtual reality (VR) suggests that avatar customization may enhance user engagement, embodiment, and perspective-taking through increased identification and presence. These processes are considered crucial for experiential learning and the development of interpersonal competencies in simulated…

This paper presents the conceptual design of a simulation-based training system that supports pre-service teachers in developing discourse competence for facilitating accountable classroom talk on socio-scientific issues (SSI). The system is grounded in research on dialogic teaching, conceptual change, teacher reflection, and the TPACK framework.…

An investigation into the use of virtual reality for educational use was conducted at a London art gallery and university, exploring a new approach to a learning environment. A viewing of an Impressionist landscape painting was also experienced as a 3D virtual reality experience. The intention was to consider if this immersive experience could…

This study presents a framework for integrating meaningful learning into a mobile learning context to enhance the learning achievement of natural science students through the utilization of advanced technologies and outdoor learning. An experiment was conducted on elementary school students to examine the effect of an Augmented Reality-based…

Discussion has become a crucial method of interactive learning in online collaborative environments. This study aims to identify the impact of different task motivation compositions and learning scaffolding on attention, learning performance, and behavioral patterns. The 90 Chinese undergraduate and graduate students (M[subscript age]=20.38,…

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an important skill for healthcare professionals. However, adding POCUS training to medical education can be difficult because ultrasound simulators can be expensive. This study assessed whether an interactive, PowerPoint-based computer tool could be a valid alternative to an entry-level ultrasound simulator for…

Purpose: Neurotypical peers tend to have negative attitudes toward autistic peers, which may contribute to negative outcomes for autistic individuals. The present study was designed to build upon previous findings by testing whether simulating contact with an individual labeled as autistic and exhibiting stereotypical autistic behaviors, which has…

Studying complex interactions between variables to comprehend phenomena can be challenging for students of all ages. Simulations are often used to facilitate exploratory learning of complex phenomena, but students still face difficulties in comprehending interactions between factors. This study examined the comparative effectiveness of the…

Academic entrepreneurial behaviours are increasingly a research field paralleling processes of capitalist commodification. We mobilise Baudrillard's concepts to probe a school's strategic communication methods symbolising class neoliberalism, which aspirational parents may experience as a desired habitus of 'distinction'. We suggest their…

Law enforcement officers (LEOs) may use physical force unnecessarily or escalate problem behavior when attempting to gain the compliance of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Copenhaver & Tewksbury in American Journal of Criminal Justice 44:309--333, 2019). Although specialized training may remedy this problem, the relatively…

Lissajous figures are parametric equations that deconstruct into equations of simple harmonic motion. They were a source of inspiration by artists and mathematicians alike, well before the digital age, due to their esthetic forms and simple equations that could be easily deconstructed. Here for the first time in literature, we present Lissajous…
