Cognitive engagement is an essential component in student learning. With the increase of more asynchronous virtual educational tools in classrooms, there is a need to understand how students are engaging with classroom content in these formats. Several studies have examined student and teacher perceptions of cognitive engagement in virtual…

Although e-learning is considered one of the leading teaching methods in higher education, both learners and instructors face significant challenges owing to reduced social interaction compared with traditional classroom learning. In this study, we explore the leveraging of recent developments in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and create…

This study advances an e-learning adoption model by exploring the link between Performance Expectancy (PE) and Behavioural Intention (BI) to adopt e-learning among undergraduate students in Kenya's public universities. Using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), data were collected from a sample of 388 respondents through…

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a self-paced digital working memory (WM) intervention on preschoolers with ADHD symptoms and explore the relation between WM and time perception (TP) through a randomized controlled trial. Method: Fifty preschoolers between four-to-six years of age (M = 4.93 years) were randomly assigned to…

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…

As children increasingly engage with digital platforms, the need for effective cybersecurity education has become urgent. This systematic review synthesizes 81 studies published between 2017 and 2024 to examine global curricula research focus and topics, pedagogical approaches and assessment methods, and key challenges in elementary cybersecurity…

Background: Physiotherapy education traditionally relies on face-to-face instruction for teaching complex manual therapy techniques. Current remote teaching methods struggle to convey spatial aspects of physical techniques, limiting their effectiveness for practical skills training. Few examples were found of immersive training systems for…

Background: Ethical decision-making is at the core of higher education, yet case-based ethics training often lacks depth and practical judgment. This study investigates whether integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) enhances ethical reasoning compared with conventional training. Sixty undergraduates in business and…

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 current study investigated the impact of AI-mediated interaction on L2 learners' oral speaking ability, summarizing ability, and perceptions. Participants were EFL university students from South Korea who were randomly assigned to one of three groups: aiSPEAK, aiSUM, and control. The two experimental groups, aiSPEAK and aiSUM, engaged in…

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT offer new opportunities to enhance student learning through active recall and self-directed inquiry. This study aimed to determine student perceptions of a classroom assignment designed to develop proficiency in using ChatGPT for these strategies. First-semester Doctor of Pharmacy students in a…

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…

Background/Context: Children enter kindergarten with widely varying backgrounds and academic skill levels (Little et al., 2024). Kindergarten teachers face the challenge of meeting children where they are at the start of the year and helping them master critical skills by the end of the year, regardless of where each child starts. Differentiated…

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 study examines the impact of metacognitive prompts on electrical engineering students' learning behavior during problem-solving in a computer-based learning environment. This research study uses Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) to investigate behavioral differences between students who received metacognitive prompts and those who solved…
