Virtual reality applications, on the other hand, are a technology that can be easily integrated into these new educational approaches. This research was carried out in order to determine how the success of the students is affected by dealing with the subject of systems in the body, which is the subject of the 6th grade, with virtual reality…

This study brings empathy to the centre of literacy practice by investigating children's augmented storying as it was related to empathetic encounters across the human and more-than-human worlds. The study applies sociomaterial theorising that defines empathy as relational and emergent across human-material-spatial-temporal assemblages. The…

While there is increased interest in using movement and embodiment to support learning due to the rise in theories of embodied cognition and learning, additional work needs to be done to explore how we can make sense of students collectively developing their understanding within a mixed-reality environment. In this paper, we explore embodied…

Background: Augmented reality (AR) is a widely used technology in science education today. Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the teaching methods employed in science education for a long time. Studies where AR and PBL are used together are new and rare. PBL and AR technology are used together in the study because it is believed that…

Recently scholars have advocated for using teachers' practice as a site for teacher learning. The recent proliferation of online, digital spaces, including simulated classrooms, has paved the way for novel approaches within practice-based teacher education. Yet, limited research has investigated the extent to which and how the use of online,…

Augmented reality (AR) has become a potential technology tool to improve the learning experiences among students with special needs. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of learning materials using AR technology activities on the learning experiences of students with special needs. In this study, a quasi-experimental study is…

The present study involved an experimental inquiry wherein the researcher examined the possible impact of "textual cues" and "summarising scaffolding" on cognitive load, mental model, and learning performance. The study was conducted on a sample of 122 primary school pupils from Hyderabad, India. It commenced on 20 January 2021…

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 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…

This study aimed to establish a fully 3D modeled immersive virtual reality (IVR) system for primary school students learning about plants and evaluate teachers' perceptions of the usage of the system and pupils' flow experiences and learning attitudes. There were 5 teachers with expertise in science and IVR experience who were first interviewed to…

Augmented reality (AR) is a valuable tool which is becoming more easily accessible due to the recent developments in mobile device technology and the growing availability of AR content. Augmented reality refers to computer generated 3D objects superimposed onto real life scenes. Unlike virtual reality, AR simply needs a device with a camera, the…

This study examines the effects of a seventh-grade science course supported by augmented reality technologies on students' academic achievement on elements and compounds, their motivation towards the science course, and their motivation toward the augmented reality materials used. The study was conducted with the quasi-experimental design of the…

It has previously been argued that Augmented Reality (AR) has the potential to provide relevant digital information to support pupils learning in real-time through engaging formats. However, the use of AR in the classroom remains uncommon for mainstream adoption. This study uses a service design methodology to focus on a more holistic approach…

The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of educational film-supported augmented reality applications in the teaching of the Solar System and Eclipses Unit of the 6th grade Science course on the academic success of the students and their motivation levels for learning science. The study group of the research consisted of 42 students…
