This study compares museum-related knowledge, museum learning experiences and cognitive load based on task types presented via a mobile application during a museum virtual tour. The study involved three experiments, each examining the effects of different task types. In the first experiment, tasks varied by difficulty (easy vs. difficult), in the…

Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming health science education by enabling immersive, interactive learning environments. As global health challenges rise and digital tools proliferate, it is critical to map the evolution of VR's application in health science education, particularly its effects on health outcomes. A bibliometric analysis was…

The review systematically analyzes AI-disruptive change in language education by considering multilingual settings, large language models, and new implications. After integrating the findings of 161 studies from 2015 to 2024, the review relies on the PRISMA framework to analyze progress and gaps regarding AI use tools, ethical considerations, and…

Although questions fuel children's learning, adult "cell phone use" may preoccupy parents, affecting the frequency of questions parents and children ask and answer. We ask whether parental cell phone use will lead to a decrease in the number of questions children and parents ask one another while playing with a novel toy. Fifty-seven…

In this column, I discuss a soundscape composition activity that I implemented with primary/elementary music classes. During this activity, students used the iPad app, iMovie, to record, organize and edit sound to accompany photos of artworks that they had created.

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the AR model of the Solar System simulated in mobile AR applications located in the Google Play Store. The applications were examined in the store…

There is growing empirical support for the benefits of developing psychological capital (PsyCap), and the effectiveness of PsyCap interventions (PCIs) in the workplace. However, to-date, PCI delivery modes have not been compared. The first study in this article compares a face-to-face to an online PCI. The second study compares an online PCI to a…

Objective: Opioid use and the risk of opioid overdose are growing public health concerns for college-aged adults. Naloxone can temporarily reverse opioid overdoses, but only if easily accessible. On most college campuses, "blue light" phones (BLPs)--call boxes topped with a blue light--offer visible access to emergency services. We…

This study aims to develop a mathematics learning application, namely Android-based mobile learning to increase students' High Order Thinking Skills (HOTs). The result of mathematics learning media is a valid and practical mobile learning application product. "Mastering Math" is the name of a mathematics e-learning application designed…

Mathematical problem posing was advocated as one major area needing systematic investigation. It was also recommended that school mathematics learning should involve experientially real problem situations and using handheld devices to bridge across formal and informal contexts for mathematical learning. This research study explored how 11 middle…

In this study the aim was to examine the mediation role of smartphone addiction in the association between mindfulness/impulsivity and psychological distress.
