Virtual reality (VR) is a promising avenue to enhance the independence and daily living skills of high school students with intellectual disability. This study investigated the efficacy of a non-immersive VR focused on teaching food preparation skills to secondary students with intellectual disability. Three high school students with intellectual…

Students with disabilities may find it difficult to learn and gain the life skills needed to live, work, socialize, and attend postsecondary education. In vivo and community-based instruction (CBI) are among the most effective ways to teach life skills, especially with a goal of generalization. Despite the strong relationships that often exist in…

This mixed methods study explored how the making of animated models affected year 11 students' understanding of the effect of temperature on the equilibrium of an exothermic or endothermic reaction. The students' perspectives and the role of the activity in facilitating a metacognitive process were also examined. Teacher perspectives were also…

This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of the use of an augmented reality-assisted physics e-module based on the local wisdom of the pedicab in improving mathematical communication and critical thinking abilities. The study used the 4D model. Empirical trials were conducted involving 255 grade XII students. The effectiveness test was…

Pre-post paired data gathered from 15 students enrolled in a career and technical education high school course focusing on teacher education were analyzed to measure the impact due to experiences in a simulated teaching environment. The main research focus was to explore the relationship between variables considered to be important for the success…

Increasing representation of women and minorities in STEM disciplines is imperative. We employ Social Identity Theory in conjunction with Self-Determination Theory to explain how STEM-related stereotypes keep students from following STEM pathways. We conducted an experimental investigation using 70 10th-grade students to determine if exposure to…

Background/purpose: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of integrating Augmented Reality (AR) technology in literary psychology education for students with special needs in the context of inclusive education. Materials/methods: Using a mixed-method approach, the study involved 120 students from three disability categories (dyslexia,…

The lives and learning experiences of high school students are increasingly intertwined with online activities. With the global trend of Education 4.0, equipping students with digital skills is essential, including the capacity for online social-emotional skills. Someone with social-emotional skills knows how to turn social media into a useful…

Individuals engage in purchasing skills on a daily basis. Regardless of the curricular focus of secondary students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD; i.e., academic or functional), possession of life skills is important. In this single case design study, researchers examined the provision of online instruction to three U.S.…

The use of virtual reality (VR) in anatomy education enables interactive exploration of the human body and can overcome challenges in informal education settings, such as access to donated human remains and spatial understanding of 3D structures. This study explored how individual factors--such as spatial ability, visual imagery skills, and…

Virtual Reality Job Interview Training (VR-JIT) and Virtual Interview Training for Transition Age Youth (VIT-TAY) demonstrated initial effectiveness at increasing employment among transition-age youth with disabilities engaged in pre-employment transition services. We characterized activities and estimated the labor and non-labor costs required to…

The use of computer applications as learning media has been widely used in the learning process. One such computer application is Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality has advantages in ease of use, media appeal, and mobility because it can be used on cell phones and tablets. Creative thinking is a skill that students need in solving problems in a…

Providing high-quality services to students with disabilities in rural settings can be challenging, as rural schools often lack resources both in and out of the classroom. One potential option to provide high-quality mathematics instruction to students with disabilities in rural areas is using virtual manipulatives and online instruction. In this…

This research project applied Projective Reflection (PR) as a theoretical and methodological framework to "facilitate" learning as identity exploration. PR was used to iteratively design and implement three versions of "Virtual City Planning," an augmenting virtual learning environment (AVLE) course in a science museum…

Logical thinking and reasoning of geometric space are among the key abilities of science and technology education. This research developed a framework of an alternate reality-based board game incorporating augmented reality (AR) exploration with multi-dimensional scaffolding, including "cognitive scaffolding," "metacognitive…
