Aviation is a multidisciplinary subject that has influenced human development over the last century. Learning about aviation exposes students to principles of flight, earth science, aeronautical engineering, language, aviation communication and airmanship. In higher education, many non-aviation undergraduates participate in aviation related…

Virtual simulations (VS) are gaining more popularity in vocational education and training (VET) to train professional competencies. However, implementing VS into organisations requires the involvement of trainers in, and the development of their knowledge to fulfil a meaningful approach to integrating this technology into teaching. In the Estonian…

This article presents findings regarding a Systems Thinking graduate course that took place in 2019, involving 11 graduate students from the University of São Paulo. The course followed a combination of problem-based learning and simulation-based learning approaches. The students were challenged to model the dynamics portrayed in short-films,…

The use of system dynamics as a learning tool for developing sustainable energy strategies and environmental education has advanced in recent years with the availability of new modelling software and webtools. Among the existing models, we highlight the online 2050 Calculators, which aim at simulating scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions, energy…

The lack of real-life experiences, such as handling livestock at a production facility (e.g., ranch), exists for a variety of reasons such as availability, liability, time, and cost, amongst others. As more students enter undergraduate animal science programs without prior exposure to animal handling, the necessity for more hands-on, real-life…

Intracultural learning has been neglected in English curricula in Taiwan since textbooks as an important learning resource have been mainly focused on English linguistic content and developing students' language skills and and target culture to develop students' language skill. This study investigated how making VR content helped students enhance…

Immersive virtual reality (VR) is a technology that can be effective for procedural skills training through game-based simulations such as serious games. The current study describes the instructional design, development, and evaluation of the FSCHOOL fire preparedness serious game in a cave automatic virtual environment (CAVE-VR) for elementary…

Digital technologies are becoming more embedded and prevalent in everyday life. One leading technology, Virtual Reality (VR), is well-positioned to extend its impact past the gaming industry and move deeper into education, particularly in university settings. Embracing digital technologies is essential in keeping marketing education relevant.…

In this work, we study the feeling of membership in undergraduate students who interact with their higher education institution through a virtual environment. We explore the "Centro de Investigaciones en Diseño Industrial" (CIDI) case, in which a virtual environment was built using the Roblox platform to enhance the online experience…

Recent years have seen an increase number of studies on spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) in education.However, the impact of SVVR on learning performance remains unclear and cannot be simply generalized from traditional VR-based education. The purpose of this study was to examine the overall effects of SVVR on cognitive and…

The purpose of this research is to reveal the feelings and thoughts of physics teachers towards Algodoo training within the scope of the 4005 TUBITAK project named Innovative and Technology Supported Applications in Physics Education. This study was carried out with phenomenological research within the context of the qualitative research approach.…

Public speaking, especially in a foreign language, is associated with increased anxiety. Research has shown the potential of virtual reality (VR) for simulating real-life experiences, allowing for public speaking practice in an ecological and safe environment. This between-subjects study investigated the effect of VR on foreign language anxiety…

Smart education and ubiquitous learning have come over globally, especially under coronavirus regime. Visual media and interactive operation can draw children's attention and interests, so the VR educational software becomes a prominent trend for training children. However, in K12 education, the VR technology is just in its initial period. In the…

For students with intellectual disability the need for effective teaching strategies in Foreign Language Learning is imperative. In recent years, the advent of Augmented Reality (AR) in Special Education has shown promising results. In the present research an AR intervention for English vocabulary instruction of three students with intellectual…

The purpose of this study was to examine whether a simulation-integrated context-based 7E instructional strategy (SICBIS) could increase students' achievement in the chemistry of oxides, acids, bases, and salts (COABS) when compared to context-based 7E instructional strategy (CBIS), simulation-integrated conventional teaching approach (SICTA), and…
