The aim of this study was to explore how landmark-based STEAM projects can be created to run cross-country math trails utilizing augmented reality and 3D printing technologies. A study was conducted involving 42 prospective teachers at a teacher education institution. We organized a series of lectures in a spatial geometry course and explored…

In this research, we investigated whether the use of GeoGebra Augmented Reality (AR) can foster students in conceptualising a mathematical object by manipulating its different semiotic representations. We designed and implemented, with thirty university mathematics students, a teaching sequence on paraboloids using GeoGebra AR supported by…

There are few studies have examined the effective inclusion of Students with Learning Disability (SLD) in teaching and learning, despite the growing policy, educational, and political concern following the progressive trend towards enrolling students with disabilities in regular public schools. As inclusive education is a fundamental human right,…

This qualitative study investigated how mixed-reality simulations supported the development of justice-oriented core teaching practices within a large elementary education program. Told from the point-of-view of two methods instructors, using candidates' written and oral reflections, the authors examined the use of Mursion[R] mixed reality…

This study investigates the challenges of teaching history to primary school students and the endeavour to develop a board game, supported by educational apps and augmented reality, to enhance the learning experience. The initiative is in response to the New Zealand Ministry of Education's mandate that New Zealand's history must be taught in all…

This paper presents a new art metaverse prototype, constructed using virtual reality technology to create an immersive scene with a specific artistic style and integrate virtual avatar technology to allow interaction with characters in the art painting. Ninety-six college students participated in the study, divided into two groups: the virtual…

Issues with joint attention, especially avoiding eye contact with others, are considered one of the core defects found in the early stages of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study is the first to use pupil reflection technology, which can be used to present an image of the participants within the virtual character's eyes on the…

The metaverse which is considered as the digital big bang of humanity and the next evolution of the internet is anticipated to offer a living environment for civilization 5.0 and beyond in various domains including education. Each novice technology that enters our daily lives generates also fear, anxiety, and problems as well as hope, benefit, and…

This article explores the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) interventions in reducing anxiety and stress among music students, employing a quantitative, experimental methodology. Utilizing the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) as measurement tools, the study engaged 120 volunteer musicians from South…

This study focuses on the potential academic benefit of virtual international exchange for community colleges and the students they enroll through a comparison of virtual exchange and study abroad. Using data from two community colleges in the US Southeast, this study draws upon the notion of socioacademic integration. Specifically, this study…

Engineering drawing is valuable in capturing geometric features, conveying engineering ideas, and creating a blueprint of the intended product. Engineering students usually perform orthographic projections, imagining a 3D situation and sketching its 2D representation. That requires imagination and mental visualization, determined by the learner's…

With the growing popularity of Virtual Reality (VR), the integration of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework provides insights into its role in facilitating student learning in VR environments. VR offers immersive experiences and visualization of abstract concepts. However, the abundance of information in VR can be overwhelming without proper…

The synchronous hybrid learning model, which involves simultaneous face-to-face and remote learning, suffers from a disparity in the lesson experience and outcomes provided by the different learning modes. Moreover, the online medium allows little opportunity for teachers to exhibit non-verbal immediacy behaviours to improve cognitive engagement…

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of applying instructive simulation experiments (SE) to the development of deeper conceptual understanding, retention of static electricity contents, and engagement of 4th-grade students. The correlation between student achievements and engagement was examined. 76 4th graders (10-11 years) were…

Preservice teachers (PSTs) need to be able to use ambitious teaching practices to help support their students' productive engagement in scientific practices such as analyzing and interpreting data or using evidence-based reasoning to support their claims. Approximations of practice are one way in which teacher educators can support their PSTs to…
