Weng, Cathy; Otanga, Sarah; Christianto, Samuel Michael; Chu, Regina Ju-Chun – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of augmented reality (AR) technology on students' learning outcomes (measured according to Bloom's cognitive levels) and attitude toward biology. The print book was redesigned by integrating a form of AR into it. A quasi-experimental pretest and posttest designs were used to test the…

Chen, Ruo Wei; Chan, Kan Kan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
Augmented Reality (AR) flashcards have emerged as an important educational resource for language learning. However, there is limited research on its application in early childhood education. This article aims to explore the technology's value in early childhood education by comparing it with traditional paper flashcards. To that end, a study was…

Leinhardt, Gaea; McQuaide, Judith – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2003
Reports the results of research that examined ways in which a computer simulation of a banking workplace influenced high schoolstudents' general knowledge and understanding about the world of work. Results indicated students who used the simulation had a broader sense of work and had more subtle understandings of current trade-offs than did…

Gibbons, Andrew S.; Robertson, Daniel J.; Duffin, Joel R.; Thompson, Ben – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2001
Reports the results of research on effects of detailed feedback on problem solving within a computer-based simulation. Participants were 54 undergraduate students. Results indicated highest performance was associated with feedback based on an expert model supplemented with provided textual commentary, suggesting that under some circumstances…

Lane, David M.; Tang, Zhihua – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2000
The effectiveness of simulations for teaching statistical concepts was compared to the effectiveness of a textbook. Subjects were 115 college students. Subjects trained by simulation performed significantly better than those trained with a textbook. Results support the increasing use of simulation in education and training. (AEF)
