Despite increasing calls for science education that utilizes immersive technologies and authentically model scientific inquiry, little is known about how well curricula leveraging these technologies impact students' science identity. This paper presents a mixed-methods study of identity exploration in 7th grade science students using a three-week…

This study aims to determine how effective science teaching with augmented reality-based teaching material (science cards) is compared to the science curriculum prescribed methods on students' academic achievement and their views on augmented reality application. As a study group, 63 students who were studying in a 7th grade in a secondary school…

The purpose of this study was to explore how students interacted with guidance to conduct a scientific inquiry in a physics simulation by using the eye-tracking techniques. The participants were 51 7th graders, and an eye-tracking system was used to record their visual behaviors and log data while they were using the simulation. As for data…

This study is to examine the effects of AR Game-based science learning on students' engagement, learning performance, and satisfaction towards physics learning. Based on the marker-based AR technology, an Augmented Reality Game-based Science Learning (ARGSL) system was designed and developed to support students' physics learning. A…

VR technology allows learners to access simulated, immersive and interactive virtual environments to perform authentic learning activities. In particular, VR has emerged as a valuable tool for L2 learning. However, VR research has tended to pay more attention to desktop-based VR than to VR via mobile-rendered HMDs, leaving the potentials of VR…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of augmented reality and mobile application supported instruction on students' academic achievement, attitude towards astronomy, anxiety and motivation towards learning science in the "Solar System and Beyond/Earth and Universe" units in seventh grade Science lesson. In the study,…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of virtual reality (VR) enhanced learning environment on the 7th-grade students' academic achievements in reading and writing in English. Within the scope of the experimental application of the research, the "planets" unit topic was selected from the 7th-grade syllabus of the 2018…

Virtual Environment for Social Information Processing (VESIP™) is a web-based social information processing assessment developed for youth in grades 3-7. VESIP was developed to address: (1) the broader assessment of social information processing in a variety of socially challenging situations; and (2) the need for technically strong and scalable…

Inquiry-based learning can be an effective approach when students are provided with sufficient guidance. However, there is an ongoing debate among practitioners about the nature, type, and level of such guidance. This study investigated the effects on middle school students' (N = 116) conceptual knowledge and inquiry skills acquisition of…

Emerging technologies, such as virtual reality, haptics, and 3-dimensionality, provide novel opportunities to allow students to investigate scientific phenomena by fostering perceptions of virtual presence, the feeling of being sensorially immersed and authentically interacting within a computer-generated virtual learning environment (VLE).…

With the growing push to implement innovative technologies in today's classroom, the prospect of infusing extended reality (XR)-learning has jettisoned education into uncharted territory, creating dynamic learning experiences with a potential breadth of unknown effects (Ahn, Bailenson & Park, 2014; Ahn, Bostick, Ogle, Nowak, McGillicuddy &…

The problem in studying geometry for students with normal hearing and hearing impairment is that when studying geometry, it does not only require analytical presentations but also visual presentations related to spatial visualization abilities. This problem is getting worse during the pandemic, in which teaching and learning had to be done online.…

Research on Mobile Augmented Reality (Mobile AR) includes studies addressing Mobile AR integration into learning environments along with the quality of instructions by researchers about using mobile AR in classrooms. Findings revealed that even inexperienced teachers/pre-service science teachers who lacked any prescribed material could use mobile…

Simulations, which is a type of educational technology has started to be used widely in classes. Contradictive results show that there is no certain conclusion about the effects of them on students' domain knowledge, inquiry skills and attitudes towards science. The goal of the study is to compare the impacts of simulation-based and textbook-based…

A practicum is beneficial in science learning to provide a concrete manifestation of a topic. This study aimed at creating a simulation-based interactive learning multimedia product to assist students' practicum. The product was developed for the topic of cell metabolism process focusing on the energy in living systems. The study employed the…
