Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is increasingly essential in both scientific practice and modern education, yet remains difficult to embed authentically in classrooms. This study addressed that gap by integrating CPS into a ninth-grade biology lesson using a smartphone-based asymmetric simulation. The innovative three-phase instructional…

This study investigates the effectiveness of Virtual Simulation Systems (VSS) in improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training outcomes for vocational nursing students through a cluster randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 second-year nursing students from Sichuan Health Rehabilitation Vocational College were divided into an…

This study compares the effectiveness of video communication technologies and group chats in virtual reality (VR) as platforms for practising musical skills among students. Additionally, it examines the capacity to convey aesthetic characteristics of musical performance through these two forms of remote communication and the influence of these…

The development of digital technology has driven a transformation in learning approaches in higher education to support the strengthening of 21st-century skills among students. This study aims to analyze the influence of Augmented Reality-Integrated Project-Based Learning on students' creative innovation, computational thinking, and academic…

Background/purpose: This paper systematically reviews current advancements in AI-based diagnostic tools and assistive technologies, analyzing their influence on the early detection, treatment, and educational support of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The review aims to identify both the benefits and challenges of incorporating these…

Virtual reality (VR) creates immersive environments that allow students to visualize and explore complex subjects in ways that traditional methods cannot achieve. This is the first systematic review examining VR to enhance skill acquisition in physical education (PE) in higher education in the 21st century. This study aims to analyze and explore…

The integration of immersive technologies, such as 360-degree virtual reality (VR) in education presents a promising avenue for enhancing teaching and learning. However, educators often face challenges due to limited technical expertise and resource constraints. This study examined the usability and readiness of educators in adopting the 360 VR…

This study examined the effect of using computer simulation on students' interest in algebra. A quasi-experimental design was employed. A sample of fifty-four students (age range: 12-14 years old) drawn from two schools constituted the subjects for the study. Two JSS 2 classes in each school were assigned through balloting to experimental and…

It is critical that pre-service teachers have exposure to practice in order to be successful in their future classrooms. This article describes a step-by-step process of implementing mixed-reality simulation (real-time interaction with avatars, similar to what one would find in a video game) in teacher preparation courses in order to provide…

Background: Immersive VR is still rarely used as an intervention for meeting the affective end goals of student learning despite its positive impact on affection. Also, studies regarding the use of immersive VR as an intervention for affective achievement in broader educational contexts are still lacking. Objectives: This study aimed to examine…

This article tried to determine the students' opininons related to the use of Second Life (SL) application in higher education art and design education. In this case study conducted with 17 students selected via typical case sampling, the SL virtual platform was used as a research area. Data collection tools were included document analysis,…

CDC.gov (2020) shows that the coronavirus (COVID-19) has exposed the cost of an unjust law enforcement and judicial system against minorities. Non-Asian minorities, who are usually the poor with health issues, have been the most negatively affected by COVID-19. The aim of this study is to explain through a literature review how virtual reality…

The emergence of newer educational technologies provides opportunities for computer-assisted language learning practitioners and software developers to capitalize on the affordances for the second language (L2) learning purposes. This article explored and brought together the reported affordances and challenges of virtual reality to teach the L2…

While cadaver dissection and prosection are deemed quintessential methods for studying anatomy, these methods are attenuated by the flat, 2-D structures incorporated into didactic segments of the anatomy courses that minimize students' ability to comprehend anatomy, leading to constraints in the teaching and learning experience. Several tools,…

This study aims to investigate the effects of different design tasks on the cognitive load level of instructional designers during the process of designing a learning activity in a 3D multi-user virtual environment (MUVE). The sample consisted of 16 undergraduate students who were experienced in the areas of instructional design, computer…
