Clinical reasoning theories agree that knowledge and the diagnostic process are associated with diagnostic success. However, the exact contributions of these components of clinical reasoning to diagnostic success remain unclear. This is particularly the case when operationalizing the diagnostic process with diagnostic activities (i.e., teachable…

In learning during the current epidemic, students cannot meet face to face on campus, and learning geometry in universities is a dreadful lesson before the pandemic. Both at UPGRIS and other private universities so far, students are required to use a compass and ruler in making flat shapes and building spaces so they have to face to face with the…

This research aims to examine the views of gifted secondary school students about the metaverse and their risk perceptions toward the digital environment. In this context, the study group, consisting of 55 gifted students, was determined through purposive sampling. A survey was used to collect participants' views on the metaverse, and the…

The ability to reason about how things were made is a pervasive aspect of how humans make sense of physical objects. Such reasoning is useful for a range of everyday tasks, from assembling a piece of furniture to making a sandwich and knitting a sweater. What enables people to reason in this way even about novel objects, and how do people draw…

Facilitating decision making in authentic contexts is an important educational objective of professional training. To enable learners to have more opportunities to practice in authentic contexts under the guidance of instructors, the flipped learning mode of shifting the lectures to be the pre-class activity with the presentation of digital media…

Despite the metaverse having been increasingly designed, developed, and applied to education, critical issues regarding the lack of truly immersive learning environments, custom tools, clear instructional design, and inconvenience of using the platform, and ethics and privacy concerns exist. This study aimed to design and develop a 3-D metaverse…

Animal models are widely used in laboratory practicals in biomedical disciplines. However, experiments involving animal work are usually time-and-labor consuming. It is also costly to run an animal lab and the animal caring/holding request special training. Here we present a laboratory course design that provides students with wet lab experience…

Metaverse is a digital world created by human beings according to the physical world. Its deep integration of virtual and real features has created a new opportunity for the innovative development of game teaching in art design courses in colleges and universities under the epidemic situation. In the field of art design, the investigation and…

This study aims to conduct a systematic review that includes studies on the use of immersive technologies in distance education. For this purpose, 132 studies detected by searching Web of Science, Eric, Taylor & Francis and Education Full Text (EBSCO) databases were examined. The studies were analysed using the content analysis method. As a…

The transformative potential of Virtual and Augmented Reality applications has sparked significant interest in educational contexts based on the exciting types of real-world learning experiences they can afford students to develop complex skills (Suryodiningrat et al., 2023). As an extension of Project LEAPES (a grant initiative aiming to promote…

COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the conventional education landscape to online remote learning. However, this transition has brought about certain challenges such as low levels of student engagement and motivation, which raises the question of whether students are actually learning. Using Virtual Reality (VR) in teaching and learning (T&L)…

There is emerging evidence that professional noticing is embodied. Yet, there is still a need to better under embodied noticing at a fundamental level, especially from the preservice teachers. This study used traditional and holographic video, along with eye-tracking technology, to examine how preservice teachers' physical act of looking interacts…

The emergence of immersive digital technologies, such as shared Augmented Reality (shAR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Motion Capture (MC) offers promising new opportunities to advance our understanding of human cognition and design innovative technology-enhanced learning experiences. Theoretical frameworks for embodied and extended cognition can…

Learning cardiac morphology largely involves spatial abilities and studies indicate benefits from innovative 3D visualization technologies that speed up and increase the learning output. Studies comparing these teaching tools and their educational output are rare and few studies include complex congenital heart defects. This study compared the…

We study the augmented reality sandbox (ARSB) as an embodied learning environment to foster meaning making in the context of bivariable calculus. We present the case of Tiago, a first-year bachelor chemistry student, performing a series of tasks based on embodied design, including perception-based, action-based and incorporation-based tasks.…
