This study examines the scientific studies on the use of virtual environments and simulation programs in teacher training programs. Firstly, a search was made in the Web of Science database using the keywords simSchool and TeachLive. Four of the studies obtained as a result of the screening were excluded for various reasons (such as duplicate or…

This investigation elucidates the adoption and integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies within educational assessments, focusing on the distinctions between pre-service and in-service teachers. Leveraging an integrated theoretical framework that combines the General Extended Technology Acceptance Model for…

This study examines the determinants of science teachers' intentions to adopt augmented reality-based gamification through an integrated framework that merges the General Extended Technology Acceptance Model for E-Learning (GETAMEL) with Protection Motivation Theory. The research investigates how cognitive factors, including perceived usefulness…

The increasing prevalence of mobile augmented reality (MAR) has garnered attention in contemporary times. However, its application within educational settings remains largely untapped, primarily due to its predominant utilization in entertainment domains. MAR presents opportunities for augmenting learning experiences, fostering enhanced…

Augmented reality (AR) has emerged as an educational technology with the potential to create immersive learning environments. To use AR, it is essential to integrate didactic strategies that enable pre-service primary school teachers to create digital content for their future students. Our systematic literature review examined how pre-service…

Engaging students in scientific argumentation is a hallmark of high-quality science instruction. Despite the importance of this practice, it is not a ubiquitous one within K-12 classrooms since scientific argumentation is complex and difficult to learn how to do well. In this study, we examined similarities and differences in how preservice…

In today's Technology Age, where communication technologies are gaining momentum, social, cultural, and technological competencies draw attention from individual and societal perspectives. Along with technological innovations, transformations are experienced in the societal development process in many areas, including education, communication,…

The metaverse, powered by artificial intelligence and integrating virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, represents an emerging technology with the potential to transform education by creating immersive learning environments. As confirmed by previous research worldwide, teachers at different educational levels recognize its possibilities in…

More than two-thirds of students with disabilities spend 80% or more of their school day in general education classes. To maximize student success, collaborations among educators (general and special education teachers) and between educators and caregivers are essential for student success. However, many new educators report feeling ill-equipped…

This study aims to identify emerging trends in immersive learning research in teacher education in order to provide researchers with insights into research themes and issues for further exploration. Specifically, the researchers scrutinised the research methods, research outcomes, and technologies employed in immersive learning research in teacher…

The purpose of the present study was to investigate, compare, and characterize interactive VR-based preservice science teacher clinical teaching environments with those of real-life teaching environments. Fifty-four college-aged students were assigned randomly to either real-life conditions or VR conditions. The main effect of the VR condition…

Given the critical importance of discrete instructional practices in special education, teacher candidates must be prepared to implement them upon entering the classroom. In preservice teacher education programs, field placements and clinical experiences rarely provide enough opportunities for preservice teachers to gain the proficiency needed to…

The main purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the REACT strategy in augmented reality applications on the problem-solving skills of teacher candidates. A parallel mixed method, which converges from mixed research designs, was used in the research. The study group of the research consists of 50 teacher candidates studying at the…

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new-generation technology that shows video, picture, and animated 3 D objects over real-life scenes. Despite AR's prevalence around the world, language teacher education programs are not prompt in the integration of digital educational tools. The present study explored the factors that predict pre-service English…

This study examines the factors that affect pre-service and in-service teachers' intention to use Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) in their teaching through the proposed Mobile Augmented Reality Acceptance Model (MARAM). The MARAM builds on the existing Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to incorporate four other components namely perceived relative…
