Quiet eye training, a technique focused on optimizing gaze behavior during critical moments, has shown potential for enhancing motor skill acquisition. This study investigates the effects of quiet eye training in both virtual and real-world environments on dart-throwing learning. The participants consisted of 45 female students who were randomly…

Practical work in optics is essential to understand complex abstract phenomena. Consequently, hands-on experiments are part of most physics' curricula, despite the fact that they can be hard to set up and maintain. In this article, we present a virtual laboratory tool, called SHIRE, which allows students to carry out optical experiments from a…

This paper provides a new experiment based on augmented reality technology in the context of Palestinian higher education. The primary goal is to investigate the effectiveness of AR-based learning on motivation and reflective thinking as crucial indicators of student learning. The research is based on a combined quantitative-qualitative…

In the field of teacher education, the traditional approach to teacher preparation is not enough to equip life science pre-service teachers with the practical skill sets and pedagogical insights they need to be effective teachers. Life science pre-service teachers often struggle to transition from theoretical coursework to the practical reality of…

Socially shared regulated learning (SSRL) plays a crucial role in enhancing collaborative learning processes. This study explores the association between medical residents' team action, SSRL and heart rate changes using BioWorld, a technology-rich learning environment (TRE) designed to support medical practitioners' diagnostic reasoning skills as…

Immersive 360 technologies are increasing equity and inclusion, learning motivation, and engagement of students in many educational disciplines. Extension stakeholders could also benefit from the use of this technology in educational settings. The affordability and ease of use adds a tool to the Extension repertoire to interest and engage…

The purpose of this study was to validate a proposed theoretical model of adolescent internet gaming disorders from a reality-virtual perspective. A questionnaire survey was conducted using random stratified cluster sampling on 3,058 middle school students with internet gaming experience, drawn from four middle schools in a province in northern…

Understanding the impacts of digital media such as video games is critical for scholarship during the digital transformation. While the literature on the effects of video games continues to grow, there is little work on positive effects, including creativity, either as an outcome from or process within games. Video games are a media type that…
