The aim of this paper is to review empirical research on ways to use Augmented Reality (AR) as a pedagogical tool in science teacher education and to identify possibilities and limitations. A literature search was conducted based on published articles in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2023. Eighty-two research articles were screened at…

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to describe an educational virtual reality (VR) photo-based tour used in an online course and investigate the influence of immersive capability on the dimensions of spatial presence and their relationship with learning-related variables. Design/methodology/approach: The study employs a descriptive and an…

Today the hope for education goes well beyond a reductionist and modernist approach of knowledge transfer. This research suggests that the experience of being immersed in natural environments can lead to embodied ways of learning and being beyond the Anthropocene and can shape children's innate relationship with nature. We bring together two…

The rapid advancement of technology has allowed computer-assisted language learning (CALL) to have made inroads in the area of pedagogy for language and culture learning. While the majority of studies have used online and virtual environments for culture learning, very little attention has been paid to a real world environment. This study is based…

Despite climate heating and rising ecological instability, environmental issues feature rarely in discussions of educational technology. Most commentators presume the continued unfettered use of digital education resources bolstered by occasional claims that emerging technologies might support the 'greening' of school and university provision. In…

This study seeks to explore the physical spaces centers for teaching and learning (CTLs) occupy; with an emphasis on gaining a better picture of what CTL spaces look like; where they are located; how they developed: and what these spaces represent. We gathered visual, empirical, and qualitative data to take the first steps towards developing a…

DIY skateparks figure among a widening register of informal urban interventions that confront official plans and visions of cities. They are also powerful learning environments that exemplify efforts by youth and adults alike to disrupt the fixity of neoliberalism in urban spaces. Our focus on the production of DIY skateparks offers complementary…

Many academic libraries renovate physical spaces to address the needs of the 21st century learner. This study presents the assessment tools used to evaluate the use of space prior to a branch library renovation as well as results of two post-renovation assessments to examine the success of the project. The pre-renovation survey showed that library…

The emerging technologies of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) may have vast implications to societal communication and representation of information. AR/VR computer interfaces are unique in that they may be placed spatially around the user in three-dimensional (3D) space; this affords new methods of both presentation and user interaction with…

Reducing school dropout rates has been a challenging policy problem in an effort to improve educational participation and attainment in developing countries. This paper examines the differences in school dropout rates among the 5-20-year olds across three major caste/ethnic groups in Nepal using nationally representative survey data. Findings…

Arloopa is an augmented reality application that enables the integration of digital content such as images, sounds, texts into real world environments. By another definition the Arloopa app is an AR visualization tool that brings the physical and digital worlds together as one. Arloopa is an augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) app and…

This qualitative narrative inquiry research study was to examine and understand Latino males' experiences, stories, and motivating factors that contributed successfully attaining higher educational leadership (President, Provost, Dean, Professor, Administrator/Director) positions. The 11 participants in the study were derived from a purposeful…

Understanding youth relationships with nature--what nature is, where nature is located, and why nature is meaningful--is important for a range of contemporary issues, from promoting health and well-being to advancing a sustainable future. Relationships with nature are profoundly influenced by the lived experiences of youth, as they form social…

The overall aim of this grounded theory multiple-case study was to better understand how K-12 independent schools ("schools") in the United States cultivate a connection between children and adolescents ("students") and the natural world ("environment") by exploring the interplay between this connection and (a) the…

Learning Climate (LC) is crucial to all educational experiences, which has been studied at many learning levels in medical education but not specifically faculty development. In this exploratory study of the learning environment in a large health professions faculty development program, faculty members are in the role of "learner." We…
