Research into the use of virtual reality (VR) for educational purposes is increasing, but most of the existing literature focuses on the positive effects of VR on users, with its possible negative effects remaining underexplored. An inadequate understanding of the negative effects can put users at risk. To address this research gap, the main…

As technology and education intersect, the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance learning and engagement via chatbots is notable and has been widely acclaimed, though with mixed reports. This study thus investigates AI chatbots' effectiveness in enhancing learning outcome and engagement, using a quasi-experimental design with three…

Virtual reality learning environment (VRLE), which allow students to transcend time and space and provide them with a sense of immersion, is becoming more common in education. Although many studies have explored the effects of VRLE on learners' learning outcomes as well as learning experiences, the results of these studies indicate that the…

As a significant tool to integrate information technology and education, dynamic mathematical software (DMS) has been widely concerned in recent years. However, how to better apply it to instruction practice deserves further exploration. Thus, we adopted the meta-analysis method to analyze the DMS-based experiments published between 2000 and 2020.…

This study investigates the role of embodiment when learning a technical procedure in immersive virtual reality (VR) by introducing a framework based on immersion and interactivity. The goal is to determine how increasing the levels of immersion and interactivity affect learning experiences and outcomes. In a 2 × 2 factorial design, 177 high…

Gaming the system is a persistent problem in Computer-Based Learning Platforms. While substantial progress has been made in identifying and understanding such behaviors, effective interventions scarce. This study uses a method of causal moderation known as Fully Latent Principal Stratification to explore the impact of two types of interventions --…

This study investigated the effectiveness of using ChatGPT, a large language model (LLM), to enhance critical thinking and argumentation skills among undergraduate students studying international relations in a developing nation context. A total of 95 participants were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 48) and a control group (n =…

This study investigates the efficacy of incorporating neuropedagogical elements into virtual simulators for advanced chemistry education in universities. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, it uses questionnaires completed by 50 organic chemistry students. These questionnaires included both general and Likert scale questions, focusing on students'…

This study examines the impact of integrating GeoGebra software into teaching circle properties at the high school level, comparing it with traditional methods. Conducted over 8 weeks with 112 students aged 15-18, it included an experimental group using GeoGebra (56 students) and a control group with classical teaching methods (56 students). The…

Digital transformations within educational systems are recurrently justified by their promise to enhance learning activities and outcomes. We examine this claim in a study of pupils' perception and experiences with computer-based adaptive tests in higher classes in Danish public primary schools. The study relies on survey and interview data and…

Learning pragmatics involves learning linguistic forms and their communicative functions as well as the context where the form-function relationships are realized. Given its socially grounded, context-sensitive nature, pragmatics may be best learned in a technology-enhanced environment that provides direct access to contextualized communicative…
