Based on an analysis of 36 peer-reviewed publications from academic databases, including ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, this review article provides an in-depth examination of the current trends, challenges, and future implications of metaverse-based learning in education. To ascertain the quality and applicability of the papers…

This article explores the integration of virtual reality (VR) in medical education, highlighting its transformative potential and benefits over traditional teaching methods. While VR enhances skills acquisition and patients interaction competencies, challenges such as high upfront costs, misconceptions, and unequal access remain. The incorporation…

The metaverse, which has a history of about thirty years in written literature, became the agenda of humanity again in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Although it seems almost impossible today to draw the boundaries of the experience that this technology, which arouses great excitement, will offer, it is possible to say that…

Over the past decade, a large number of literature reviews have explored the effectiveness of virtual reality technology as applied to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but there has been a lack of scope focus on different types of virtual reality systems in assessment and intervention for children aged 3-12 years and a lack of…

Background/purpose: The integration of immersive technologies in education has been increasing. Such technologies include: the virtual reality (VR)-based technologies, which have raised engagement and interactivity, and foster the development of skills in academic settings. Thus, this study aimed to explore the attitudes of faculty members in…

Virtual Reality has the potential to transform educational experiences. This evolution, from the earliest days of projecting and viewing stereoscopic static images to the immersive headset experiences possible today, allows VR to transport students to new locations, enable them to participate in virtual spaces and simulations, and design 3-D…

Background: Virtual reality (VR) provides a unique immersive teaching experience and brings significant changes to existing education models. However, barriers may influence the resistance to and non-adoption of VR. Objectives: Grounded in innovation resistance theory (IRT), this study thus examined the resistance attitudes and non-adoption…

This study examines how active learning principles and considerations are reflected in preservice teachers' learning experiences with augmented reality (AR) and how they conceptualize its use in their future classrooms. Twenty-eight preservice teachers, including three interviewed participants, were surveyed about their experiences with AR and…

The increasing use of mobile devices in educational settings is mainly attributable to the significant contributions made by technological advancements. These devices now make it possible to incorporate mobile applications, such as augmented reality (AR), in order to provide students with learning disabilities with assistance in improving their…

This design-based research project explored how various design features of AR-based learning environments (ARLE) influence students' mathematics self-efficacy and learning of kinematics. Specifically, five ARLEs with different design features were developed and implemented with 136 seventh-grade students in two rounds. Data were gathered from pre-…

Without regulations for higher education institutions in the metaverse, ethical transgressions are unavoidable. Educational metaverse systems, which integrate artificial intelligence, essentially depend on big data as their core technology, leading to considerable privacy issues. Therefore, this study examines data privacy and security issues, a…

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…

As virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) continue to become popular, there remains a noticeable gap in understanding their potential for enriching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning among K-12 students. To address this knowledge gap, this study systematically reviewed 117 articles published from 2010 to…

This study examines the role of virtual simulation technology in enhancing journalism and communication education. Traditional teaching methods often face limitations in resources, which impede the development of students' practical skills and creativity. Through a case study, the research evaluates the impact of virtual simulation on curriculum…

Technological advancements have introduced new educational methods that, when combined with appropriate pedagogical foundations, transform the landscape of education. This study investigates the knowledge, skills, attitudes and challenges faced by teachers of deaf students (DSTs) in integrating Augmented Reality (AR) technology into their teaching…
