Wang, Cixiao; Wang, Jingxin; Shi, Zhu; Wu, Feng – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
Digital instructional tools, such as virtual manipulatives, have been widely adopted as an enhanced approach to inquiry-based learning. However, the optimal ratio of mobile devices to students in instructional settings remain controversial. This research introduced a counterbalanced quasi-experiment to compare the learning performance and…

Roxana Draganoiu; Florica Moldoveanu; Anca Morar; Alin Moldoveanu – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Almost all educational systems still rely on traditional teaching methods: children must absorb huge uncorrelated amounts of information from various disciplines, multidisciplinary aspects are not developed, the fun factor is missing in most of the classes. Many children sometimes do not fully understand the presented theoretical concepts and…

Kyza, Eleni A.; Georgiou, Yiannis – Interactive Learning Environments, 2019
While learning can happen anywhere and everywhere, most educational practices in K-12 are confined within the walls of a classroom and the school; such practices narrowly define learning and exclude the opportunities that an expanded and digitally mediated definition of learning can offer. Augmented reality (AR) technologies offer exciting new…

Ma, Min-Yuan; Wei, Chun-Chun – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
The reading development of children depends on various sensory stimuli, which help them construct reading contexts and facilitate active learning and exploration. This study uses sensory stimuli provided by picture books using various forms of media to improve children's concentration performance. We employ picture books using four forms of media:…
