LeaAnne Daughrity; Candace Walkington; Max Sherard – Grantee Submission, 2025
This study investigates the use of GeoGebra, a Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) for math learning in Virtual Reality (VR) using head-mounted displays. We conducted a study with n = 20 middle school students receiving a mathematics tutoring intervention over time in a VR environment. Using theories of embodied cognition and playful mathematics, this…

Kellems, Ryan O.; Eichelberger, Carrie; Cacciatore, Giulia; Jensen, Mikaela; Frazier, Brynn; Simons, Kalee; Zaru, Mai – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of video-based mathematics instruction for seven middle school students with specific learning disability (SLD), using an augmented reality-based training package. The dependent variable was the percentage of steps students performed correctly to solve each type of mathematics problem. The…

Eckhardt, Marc; Urhahne, Detlef; Harms, Ute – Education Sciences, 2018
Intuitive knowledge seems to influence human decision-making outside of consciousness and differs from deliberate cognitive and metacognitive processes. Intuitive knowledge can play an essential role in problem solving and may offer the initiation of subsequent learning processes. Scientific discovery learning with computer simulations leads to…

McCarthy, Elizabeth M.; Liu, Ying; Schauer, Karen L. – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2020
This study describes a strengths-based blended personalized learning model, the implementation of the model over a 4-year period, and the results of an impact study focused on measuring its effectiveness. The model includes many commonly-used features of personalized learning, including (a) competency-based progressions, (b) flexible learning…

Jacobson, Michael J.; Taylor, Charlotte E.; Richards, Deborah – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
In this paper, we propose computational scientific inquiry (CSI) as an innovative model for learning important scientific knowledge and new practices for "doing" science. This approach involves the use of a "game-like" virtual world for students to experience virtual biological fieldwork in conjunction with using an agent-based…

Eckhardt, Marc; Urhahne, Detlef; Conrad, Olaf; Harms, Ute – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
The study examined the effects of two different instructional interventions as support for scientific discovery learning using computer simulations. In two well-known categories of difficulty, data interpretation and self-regulation, instructional interventions for learning with computer simulations on the topic "ecosystem water" were developed…
