Di Vincenzo, Antonella; Floriano, Michele A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
An application for visualizing the aggregation of structureless atoms is presented. The application allows us to demonstrate on a qualitative basis, as well as by quantitatively monitoring the aggregate surface/volume ratio, that the enhanced reactivity of nanoparticles can be connected with their large specific surface. It is suggested that,…

Tomara, Marina; Gouscos, Dimitris – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
In this work, we describe an educational approach based on augmented reality (AR) and mobile technology that has been developed with the aim to engage students in a learning procedure regarding the electric forces as well as Coulomb's Law. Initially, we present the AR learning environment and we explain its design principles with respect to the…

Ewais, Ahmed; Troyer, Olga De – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
The chemical reaction between different molecules is an important learning subject in a chemistry course. Especially for elementary school students, this can be an abstract concept and therefore difficult to understand. One way to facilitate this learning process is to use Augmented Reality (AR) technology, which is considered as an added value…

Robbins, Sandra H.; Gilbert, Kristen; Chumney, Frances; Green, Katherine B. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2019
The use of immersive simulation as a pedagogical tool has great potential for making a significant impact on student learning in higher education. In this study, the effect of immersive simulation was evaluated for a cohort of undergraduate special education majors. The investigation aimed to determine whether facilitating an immersive co-planning…

Green, Marybeth; McNair, Lisa; Pierce, Carolyn; Harvey, Carl – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2019
Augmented reality (AR) is predicted to be one of the driving forces in education over the next five years. However, the success of this technology depends on the intelligent design of the apps. This research investigated commercially available augmented reality picture books to survey their digital features interactive features. The researchers…

Sezer, Baris; Sezer, Tufan Asli – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Virtual patient (VP) is a concept used in the teaching of communication skills, and like physical examinations and other professional skills, must be taught with utmost care. In Turkey, as VPs are yet to be used in medical training, the usual practice when teaching such skills is to use standardised patients (individuals pretending to be…

Plunkett, Kyle N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This paper provides two demonstrations of how Augmented Reality (AR), which is the projection of virtual information onto a real-world object, can be applied in the classroom and in the laboratory. Using only a smart phone and the free HP Reveal app, content rich AR notecards were prepared. The physical notecards are based on Organic Chemistry I…

Simpson, Lauren; Whitworth, Brooke A. – Science Teacher, 2019
For the past 15 years, pine forests across the United States have experienced devastating mountain and southern pine beetle outbreaks (Rosner 2015). These outbreaks are not uncommon but have become increasingly severe. Due to the effects of global warming, pine beetles have been able to survive warmer winters in their native habitats, producing…

Nottis, Katharyn E. K.; Vigeant, Margot A.; Prince, Michael J.; Golightly, Amy Frances; Gadoury, Carrine Megan – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
Heat and temperature concepts are found at all levels in the science curricula and are well-known for creating conceptual difficulties for learners. Students have difficulty understanding concepts related to heat, temperature, and thermal radiation. Inquiry-based pedagogies that can foster the learning of these difficult concepts are needed.…

Gecu-Parmaksiz, Zeynep; Delialioglu, Omer – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
The aim of the current study is to compare the effect of virtual and physical manipulatives on preschool children's understanding of geometric shapes. A quasi-experimental research design was employed where children in the experimental group used tablet computers to access Augmented Reality (AR)-based virtual manipulatives, while children in the…

Ibili, Emin – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2019
The aim of this study was to explain the relationship between cognitive load and the effects of augmented reality (AR) learning environments. To achieve this aim, firstly, the studies of systematic literature reviews on the potential and limitations of AR learning environments were examined. Afterwards, the effect of AR was categorized in terms of…

Mundy, Marie-Anne; Hernandez, Jose; Green, Marybeth – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2019
Augmented reality continues to be lauded as a disruptive innovation in education. This research examines the perspectives of AR using educators who are Innovators and First Adopters in Roger's Diffusion of Innovation Scale. Attitudes towards AR were examined through a survey that included Likert-scale items and open-ended qualitative items.…
