The purpose of this study was to identify factors that affect the adoption of a virtual reality (VR) technology among parents of adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study sought to learn what might increase adoption of VR technology among other parents of individuals with ASD. The study employed interviews, focus groups, and…

Background: Science history is a discipline that teaches the development of scientific thought and the discoveries of scientists. However, these topics can sometimes be abstract and difficult to understand. The use of technology can make the teaching of the history of science more effective, engaging, and accessible. By providing students with…

In an effort to better engage biomedical engineering technology (BMET) students with material covered in lectures and to connect them with their future careers, we created interactive 360° videos in typical BMET workplaces. Students watched the videos using virtual reality (VR) headsets and reflected on the experience. Students commented that the…

This empirical study explores the deployment and effects of Augmented Reality (AR) in translation education, emphasizing its significant impact on student engagement, motivation, and accuracy across diverse text genres. Conducted over a 16-week period, our research utilizes a mixed-methods approach to assess AR's efficacy, especially in…

In the midst of the dynamics of globalization and the industrial revolution 4.0, the 21st century education is increasingly evident in equipping the younger generation with relevant and adaptive skills. These skills include critical thinking skills, creativity, collaboration, and effective communication. In an effort to improve the quality of…

The construction industry is on the verge of a digital transformation. Consequently, the gap widens between industry demands and fresh graduate capabilities. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a paradigm shift in the teaching approach for construction management education. To meet both industry demands and student expectations, Game-Based…

Poverty is a pervasive issue impacting many areas of human sciences and Extension. Individuals living in the United States may have varying attitudes toward poverty. Research has shown that poverty simulations are effective in modifying attitudes toward poverty. The Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) program is one such example that…

Taking advantage of our digital era commodities, a plethora of game-based learning activities and educational game genres have been introduced into numerous academic disciplines. However, research has shown that regarding mathematics the variety seems limited; especially for higher level topics, e.g. calculus, there is a lack of immersive games…

We developed a gas-phase Fourier Transform InfraRed Scientific Instrument Simulator (FTIR-SIS, https://ftir.rastonlab.org/) in response to the unavailability of one during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown of 2020. It features an interactive interface that encourages students to explore different components of a typical FTIR, and it allows them to…

Purpose: This study aims to explore how the integration of augmented reality (AR) filters into English as a second language (ESL) can enhance speaking fluency teaching. The study sheds light on how AR filter can be best implemented in speaking fluency teaching by the innovative opportunities to transform language learning experiences. In this…

This academic inquiry examines the efficacy of virtual reality (VR)-based pedagogy for higher learning, specifically analyzing immersive digital instruction for rural agriculture undergraduates studying soil science in Colombia. The investigation tests two hypotheses: first, simulated learning situations improve academic achievement and student…

The story telling method has long been known to be an effective method in education. Especially in today's digital era, the storytelling method can be assisted with augmented reality to strengthen the nuances in the story. So a combination of storytelling and augmented reality is used for multiculturalism education on the theme of religious…

Background and Purpose: The purpose of this research was to find out how virtual reality instruction affected students' conceptual understanding of physics concepts. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental approach with control groups before and after the test. 117 SSII physics students comprise the study's sample chosen at random from two…

This article explores the use of Extended Reality (XR) technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR) and motion capture, in mathematics instruction, specifically focusing on geometry learning. Our research highlights the challenges students face in learning geometry due to its abstract nature and the potential of XR technologies to create…

The Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning environment not only provides educators with novel ways to present learning materials but also give learners the opportunity to spontaneously interact with the material. Previous studies have shown that AR has many advantages in education; however, few focuses on the mechanisms behind promoting inquiry…
