This study examines the factors influencing science teachers' intentions to adopt gamified virtual reality (VR) in educational settings, employing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) as theoretical frameworks. We investigate how perceived threats, benefits, and motivational and cognitive factors impact these…

The architecture of the micro-learning platform mixed with gamification via metaverse is a research tool that was initiated by the concepts of micro-learning integrated with the gamification mechanism. It is intended to be employed as a guideline for the instruction management that encourages learners to perform self-learning with small or short…

Purpose: COVID-19 played a crucial role in the development and enlargement of learning via electronic media. Still, the recent fourth industrial revolution [Industry 4.0 (I4.0)] paved the road toward Education 4.0. In this regard, several research challenges arise, involving the preparation of gamification strategies in online learning…

The exponential growth of online learning has catalyzed significant pedagogical innovations and transformed the educational landscape. This paper explores the emerging trends in online learning, including the shift towards blended learning, the rise of personalized learning, and the integration of technology-enhanced pedagogical practices. The…

The Cybergogy approach is a teaching and learning methodology that integrates technology and pedagogy to promote critical thinking skills and inventive problem-solving among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) learners. This approach leverages the affordances of digital technologies such as virtual reality, simulations, and…

Food waste is an important issue in the global warming debate. In this study, a virtual reality (VR) application was built from the insights and requirements of a focus group. The VR prototype was then validated using A/B-testing in an online experiment due to COVID-19 restrictions. VR is considered suitable for transferring information and…

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of 1995 peer-reviewed articles on the use of technology in primary science education published in the Web of Science between 1974 and April 2025. It explores publication trends, citation structures, author collaborations, thematic patterns, and international networks. Results show an annual average of…

This article introduces the rationale behind utilizing computer-assisted gamification for the development of movement skills for children with ASD. This article also provides a brief review of several studies that have utilized computer-assisted gamification approaches in motor skill interventions, in order to show the applications and…

The Outlook of emerging Technologies in Education underscored the role and implications of cutting-edge technologies, tools, innovations and trends in transforming educational systems globally. This paper, edited by Joshua Vidal, MSSc, MAEd, LPT, PhD (student), attempts to contribute to academic leaders and researchers, examines the integration of…

This research aimed to develop metaverse virtual learning management based on gamification techniques model (MVLM-Gt model) and to evaluate the appropriateness of the model. The research methodology was divided into two parts in accordance with these aims. The first part was the design of the learning step using metaverse virtual learning…

Several decades of research in simulation and gamification in higher education shows that simulations are highly effective in improving a range of outcomes for students including declarative knowledge and interest in the topic being taught. While there appears to be a broad array of options to provide education in an undergraduate setting related…

The landscape of teaching in higher education is dynamic and driven by the interplay among educators, students and curriculum. Educators play the primary role in presenting curriculum for students to absorb and leading classroom discussions. The onus of teaching is on educators who come with different pedagogical beliefs, teaching styles and prior…

The authors develop, use, and evaluate a spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) app for teaching operations management. The app contains a 360-degree photo- realistic copy of real factory environments with blended information and gamified exercises. To solve a learning assignment, students virtually immerse themselves in the factory using…

The study presents the authors' research for the purpose of designing ImGame, a virtual environment inviting users to playfully learn about the concept of immersion and its historical antecedents. The authors describe ImGame's current pre-production stage and examine the basic characteristics of the feeling of immersion. They intend to deepen the…

An augmented reality (AR)-integrated gamification learning approach in an electronics course was developed in this study to help students better understand the concepts while simultaneously increasing their motivation. An experimental study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the AR-integrated gamification approach on students' learning…
