The effective implementation of Collaborative Inquiry-based Learning (CIL) activities hinges upon the learners receiving ample support and timely feedback. Without explicit guidance from educators within the interaction design, inquiry processes, and task steps, the efficacy of learning outcomes is challenging to ensure. Virtual teachers have the…

The escape room game is an example of digital game-based learning that has become a popular learning tool in recent years. However, not enough is known about enthusiasm for and promising reports of the use of escape rooms in education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of escape room game-based civics education on eighth…

A computer-based simulation is a viable approach for integrating the basics of science and technology in Junior Secondary. This study examined the impact of PhET on students' academic performance as well as students' motivation toward Basic Science and Technology. The study also investigates how PhET influence students' attitudes toward Basic…

This study investigates the influence of computer-based simulations on students' academic achievement and attitudes toward learning Direct Current (DC) circuits in physics. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 40 secondary school students divided into an experimental group (20 students) and a control group (20 students). The…

Little is known about the motivational factors or design features that might lead female career and technical education (CTE) health sciences students to persist in self-regulated engagement to win state achievement in serious simulation games (SSGs). In this study, 12th grade female CTE health sciences students played a 3-Level hand hygiene SSG…

Background: As immersive virtual reality (IVR) is increasingly being used by teachers worldwide, it becomes pressing to investigate how this technology can foster learning processes. Several authors have pointed to this need, as results on the effectiveness of IVR for learning are still inconclusive. Objectives: To address this gap, we first…

This study examined the improvement of mathematical problem-solving skills and learning motivation among students taught using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by Augmented Reality (AR). It also investigated the interaction between the learning model and students' ability levels to enhance these skills and motivation. A…

The current research strives for examining the power of utilizing computer-based simulations on students' academic performance and their perceptions of organic chemistry after using computer-based simulations during their learning of organic chemistry. The study adopted mixed-method research. A total of 72 students whose ages range from 16 to 18…

The use of simulations to better convey abstract scientific concepts or difficult-to-observe scientific occurrences through the manipulation of variables or virtual objects has the potential to improve student science learning. However, misconceptions or extraneous load may emerge if simulation support is insufficient. In this study, we used a…

Herein, we developed a mobile augmented reality (AR) application that can recognize chemical bonding by arranging markers on which atoms are augmented, in accordance with the specific characteristics of actual chemical bonding. From an educational affordance perspective, the development targets for AR application were selected to recognize…

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing teachers' intentions to integrate Virtual Reality (VR) technology into their educational practices, utilising the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT-2) framework. The research involved adapting and validating the 'Acceptance of Mobile Immersive Virtual Reality in…

This research aims to reveal the effects of using augmented reality applications on seventh-grade secondary school students' academic achievement and motivation and to identify students' views on augmented reality applications. For this purpose, the augmented reality application called "CellAR" has been developed for the "Cell and…

As artificial intelligence (AI) plays a more prominent role in our everyday lives, it becomes increasingly important to introduce basic AI concepts to K-12 students. Currently, most K-12 AI research focuses on introducing fundamental AI concepts using pure virtual platforms like webpages or software. However, robots, as helpful and popular tools…

Augmented reality (AR) recently shows great potential to facilitate students' learning, especially their learning performance and motivation. However, few studies considered learners' emotional factors such as learning anxiety, which may influence the learning results. This study aims to explore how different experimental conditions (AR &…

This research aimed to identify the effectiveness of augmented reality technology on improving visual thinking in mathematics and academic motivation among middle school learners in Saudi Arabia. To accomplish the research objectives, the experimental method with a quasi-experimental design was adopted and it included an experimental group and a…
