Preservice Teachers' TPACK Beliefs and Attitudes toward Simulations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lehtinen, Antti; Nieminen, Pasi; Viiri, Jouni – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2016
This study investigated the effect of an intervention regarding the use of simulations in science teaching on primary school preservice science teachers' (n = 36) self-assessed technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK). The connection of their self-assessed TPACK on their views on the usefulness of simulations in science teaching…

The Influence of Achievement Goal Orientations and Task Concreteness on Situational Interest
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tapola, Anna; Jaakkola, Tomi; Niemivirta, Markku – Journal of Experimental Education, 2014
This study investigated changes in elementary school students' (n = 140) situational interest as a function of achievement goal orientation profiles and task characteristics. The authors repeatedly measured situational interest during a simulated science learning task in 2 task conditions that differed in the concreteness of the task elements. The…

Perceived Sociability and Social Presence in a Collaborative Serious Game
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Oksanen, Kimmo; Hämäläinen, Raija – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2013
Collaborative serious games have proven to have the potential to support joint knowledge construction, and there is a growing interest in applying such games to promote high-level learning. However, most of the existing studies have focused on the effects of functional, task-specific support while ignoring the social aspects of collaborative…

Students' Expectations of the Learning Process in Virtual Reality and Simulation-Based Learning Environments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Keskitalo, Tuulikki – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
Expectations for simulations in healthcare education are high; however, little is known about healthcare students' expectations of the learning process in virtual reality (VR) and simulation-based learning environments (SBLEs). This research aims to describe first-year healthcare students' (N=97) expectations regarding teaching, studying, and…
