The current study (N = 283) used an imagined helping paradigm and a battery of behavioral and self-report measures of trait…

Project management (PM) work readiness requires preparation beyond the knowledge of concepts and best practices to develop and practice soft skills needed for successful project management. This article proposes a methodology that combines real-world practitioner tools, PM processes, and a Microsoft Excel-based PM Simulator to create a…

The application of different virtual reality interventions has been recently gaining interest from researchers and practitioners. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions increased the use of these technologies to help create much value for educators and students. The relationship between individual experience and…

Natural sciences can be difficult to grasp because physical and chemical phenomena can take place across time and length scales that are beyond the reach of human perception. This problem is particularly true for students attempting to learn about microfluidics, a discipline that involves intricate engineering methods and fluid phenomena that are…

This pretest/posttest experimental design study investigated the use of virtual reality to teach school counseling students empathy, as measured by the Empathy Quotient. An independent samples and paired-samples t-test were used to analyze students' scores in the experimental and control groups. The study's results are discussed.

While common, computer presentations given during classroom lectures do not always improve learning effects; thus, this study incorporated three elements into technology-assisted classroom lectures: emphasis, augmentation, and integration. These three elements cannot be implemented simultaneously when using PowerPoint (PPT) presentations during…
