This article describes the outcomes of using a scaffolded set of two digital, simulation-based approaches to support secondary mathematics and science preservice teachers (PSTs) in learning to facilitate argumentation-focused discussions. The researchers investigated PST and teacher educator (TE) impressions of the experience and collected…

The rapid advancement of virtual reality (VR) technology offers significant potential to address the skills gap in agricultural education and workforce development. This integrative review examines existing literature on the application of VR in educational settings, with a specific focus on agricultural education at the secondary and…

This study explores what affordances and challenges teacher candidates experience and consider pedagogically in an individual virtual reality (VR) history experience versus a collective VR history experience and what potential they see in using VR technology in their future history teaching. Study participants were teacher candidates enrolled in a…

Students in secondary vocational education often have to learn and practice their skills in potentially dangerous situations, operating complex machinery or working in hazardous conditions. As a consequence, they need to be trained on how to work safely, to respect safety regulations, to wear protective gear and related equipment, to consider…

Purpose: The advent of information and communication technology (ICT)-driven innovations changed people's lives in a big way. Virtual reality (VR) technology is an innovation that helps in digital transformation across several industries. This research aims to investigate the adoption of virtual reality (VR) technology in secondary school…

Self-directed learning (SDL) is acknowledged as an effective language learning paradigm because learning a language is time-consuming. As language and literacy education is now embracing a more multimodal approach in writing instruction, teachers' multimodal technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) receives growing attention in…

This book provides another perspective to the way educators think about and use educational technologies in secondary and tertiary classrooms. Technology in learning settings has often been used in cautious ways, typically replicating existing, non-technological educational processes. This book proposes that educators be more ambitious with the…

The global pandemic has changed the mode of delivering lessons. Adult learners have missed and continue to miss the hands-on learning activity, which is a form of experiential learning. When it comes to teaching three-dimensional, geometric shapes (3D), learners often benefit from handling and manipulating concrete shapes. This study examined the…

Hands-on dissections of animals are traditionally regarded as an essential part of biology education. Nowadays, regardless of the reported educational benefits, there is a gradual change in the concept and acceptance of hands-on dissection, leading in many cases to its abandonment in schools and its replacement with alternatives such as 3D models,…

Background/purpose: A significant challenge in teaching Arabic at the secondary level is developing pronunciation, fluency, and communication. Despite increased use of digital tools in instruction, a gap remains in understanding their effectiveness in improving Arabic speaking skills. This article aims to identify the types of digital teaching…

Animal dissection is practiced to varying degrees around the world and is particularly prevalent in North America throughout all levels of education. However, a growing number of studies suggest that nonanimal teaching methods (NAMs) (e.g., virtual anatomy tools and three-dimensional models) are better for achieving learning goals compared to…

Virtual, mixed, and augmented reality, termed "extended reality," or XR, have great potential for classroom-based learning. Yet many questions about the use and widespread adoption of these emerging technologies remain. To share insights, opportunities, and challenges, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop and the XR Association…

Augmented Reality (AR) has gained significant attention in the field of language learning. This study conducted a systematic review of research on AR-supported language learning published between 2008 and 2022. Thirty articles were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, and analyzed using an analytical framework with the…
