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…

This research presents a comprehensive framework and system architecture for a virtual universe to enhance teamwork skills through collaborative learning. A systematic review of 17 research papers from 1998-2024 identifies eight essential components of virtual learning environments: virtual environment, interactive tools, communication features,…

There is a pervasive belief that immersive virtual reality (imVR) holds transformative implications for almost all technology-mediated human activities, including the sphere of education. Given this context, it becomes essential to comprehend the impact it exerts on learning, in addition to ascertaining whether it positively affects factors that…

In virtual laboratories, various cognitive aids are used to improve students' performance and assist them while completing experimental tasks. However, excessive use of cognitive aids in virtual laboratories can lead to a cognitive load on students which affects their performance. In this paper, we proposed the concept of adaptive aids virtual…

Background: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties recognizing emotions. Studies showed that virtual reality (VR) and computerized training programs might be used as potential tools for enhancing emotion recognition in such people. However, some inconsistencies were observed between the studies. Objective: In the current…

Virtual Reality has the potential to transform educational experiences. This evolution, from the earliest days of projecting and viewing stereoscopic static images to the immersive headset experiences possible today, allows VR to transport students to new locations, enable them to participate in virtual spaces and simulations, and design 3-D…
