Based on "Virtual Reality" (VR), this study constructed a teaching software of glacier terrain, which allows students to explore freely in virtual environment and the effect of different learning modes. This study also collected students' spatial ability and geographical learning achievement, and explored whether students' spatial…

Spatial reasoning has been shown to be an important, trainable cognitive skillset for developing successful engagement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but little empirical work has been conducted in the context of digitally mediated pedagogies. This paper reports on a study into the effectiveness of a technologically…

With the COVID-19 pandemic, technology-supported applications have been quickly integrated into education. At this point, Metaverse will inevitably be involved in the education sector. The need to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of our teachers, the practitioners of education, about the concept of metaverse has arisen. The…

This study is an attempt to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool to measure secondary school students' attitudes towards metaverse use. Therefore, the study reported the analyses related to metaverse attitude scale (MVAS). The content validity of the scale was ensured by an expert's view, and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and…

This article focuses on using simulations of practice in teacher education. We studied preservice teachers' engagement with a popular simulations platform, which creates "mixed-reality simulations" of five digital avatars controlled by a single live interactor. Because simulations are only an approximation of real practice, our…

Introduction: This study investigates the effectiveness of the segmentation principle from the cognitive theory of multimedia learning as well as the effectiveness of the generative learning strategy of summarization in immersive virtual reality (IVR) within a sample of preadolescents. Although previous research has supported the effectiveness of…

Although visual arts teachers have free access to high quality online artwork images offering them immense teaching resources, making meaningful use of them remains a pedagogical challenge. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition from face-to-face to online teaching caused an immediate need for teachers to enhance their digital competencies…

Computer simulations are considered efficient in supporting exploratory learning. This paper highlights instruction challenges and undesirable consequences on student learning in exploratory learning with computer simulations in classroom situations. A classroom with students who explore using simulations contains ideas explicated on several…

Integrating technology in education has shown to revolutionize the teaching and learning process in STEM education. It therefore becomes imperative that STEM teachers are skilled and well equipped to use technology in their classrooms. Professional development programs can serve as great channels for teachers to develop their technological…

The purpose of the current study was to examine the effectiveness of virtual reality as a creative adaptive learning tool to help participants control their perceived stress and, in turn, their psychological well-being. The study leveraged humanistic learning theory to conceptualize findings. 353 participants were recruited from five high schools…

Cognitive load is the effort needed to process and store information in memory and can be measured via subjective, physiological, and performance methods. Virtual reality learning environments (VRLEs) enhance science aptitude and motivate students to pursue science careers. Cognitive load is divided into three types: intrinsic, extraneous, and…

The aim of this research is to determine whether the use of augmented reality applications in the teaching of the subject of ''Geometric objects'' in the sixth grade mathematics class has an effect on the development of students' geometric thinking levels and spatial ability. The research was conducted using a pre experimental design, one of the…

Purpose: The beliefs about this subject of N = 223 secondary education teachers were collected through an ex post facto research method using a descriptive and correlational design and a 27-item questionnaire. Design/methodology/approach: The arrival of online learning, in this case m-learning, to secondary education, has made educators in this…

The goal of the study is to examine a comprehensive review of research involving augmented reality (AR) in mathematics teaching during the previous 10 years. For this purpose, the research was conducted using a systematic review technique. It synthesized a set of 60 articles from 2012 to 2021. Two researchers used content analysis to analyze the…

Geography education usually faces the problem of a monotonous learning process. Therefore, educators constantly seek better teaching strategies to present interesting and enjoyable classes. The main objective of this study is to 'present learning technology to improve geoheritage understanding' through an open-access website powered by interactive…
