The initial learning experience is a critical opportunity to support conceptual understanding of abstract STEM concepts. Although hands-on activities and physical three-dimensional models are beneficial, they are seldom utilized and are replaced increasingly by digital simulations and laboratory exercises presented on touchscreen tablet computers.…

As intriguing optical phenomena that occur in nature, mirages are widely known and often mentioned in physics classes when introducing the basics of optics. In the atmosphere, a mirage occurs under the condition of vertical variations in air density, which are usually caused by a temperature gradient. The light rays are continuously refracted and…

This study presents a between- and within-subjects quasi-experiment that investigated the impact of interactive holographic scenes (virtual environment) on learning sensing technologies such as laser scanners, drones, radiofrequency identification devices, and inertial measurement units. To achieve this, the study assessed students' semester…

Aimed to adapt the experimental teaching to keeping up with the actual application of the experimental scene, an experimental teaching based on virtual-real combination for mobile communication was proposed in this article, which realized the collaborative mode of combining online virtual operations and real operations. The virtual experiments…

Holography is an emerging technology with interesting educational potential. Although the cost of devices able to display holograms is significant, there are alternative methods for producing pseudo-holograms with far less cost, such as 3D LED fan displays. Because the research regarding the impact these devices have on learning is limited, we…

The term "metaverse" refers to a range of technologies, including chip technology, network communication technology, VR/AR/MR/XR technology, game technology (game engine, game code, multimedia resources), and block chain technology. Augmented reality and virtual reality offer numerous potential application. As the social metaverse…

Teaching the complex subject matter of "Exploring Space" necessitates concrete and engaging teaching methods, as it requires students to employ abstract thinking and imagination. An expert team designed and developed Augmented Reality (AR)-based activity schemes for children aged 3-6. A total of 166 preschool students from Ningbo, China,…

The purpose of this review was to (1) analyze the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (iVR) and augmented reality (AR) as teaching/learning resources (collectively called XR-technologies) for gaining anatomy knowledge compared to traditional approaches and (2) gauge students' perceptions of the usefulness of these technologies as learning…

This study investigated the impact of two teaching strategies, conventional and drawing principle, associated with the use of Augmented Reality (AR), on the school performance of pupils in the 7th-year of primary school and the 10th-year of secondary school on volcanism learning. Compared to previous research, the novelty of this study lies in the…

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of collaborative learning, augmented reality, and learning cycle models on students' language success. This study employed meta-analysis methodologies to examine data derived from 54 studies with a sample size of 2,837 participants in Turkey. The data sources were obtained from online database searches…

The aim of this study is to determine teachers' views on metaverse-based education. The research is qualitative and was conducted with a phenomenological design. The maximum diversity sampling technique, one of the purposeful sampling methods of the study group, was used. In this direction, data were collected from as many different teachers as…

Students in secondary vocational education often have to learn and practice their skills in potentially dangerous situations, operating complex machinery or working in hazardous conditions. As a consequence, they need to be trained on how to work safely, to respect safety regulations, to wear protective gear and related equipment, to consider…

In recent years, Game-Based Learning (GBL) has been widely adopted in various educational settings. This paper aims to review empirical studies that adopt GBL in the field of AI education and explore its future research perspectives. After a systematic keyword search in the online database and a snowballing approach, a total of 125 empirical…

The use of immersive interactive mixed reality (I[superscript 2]MR) technologies has been of interest to educators due to the rapid advancement of technology, lowered cost, and increased engagement of the senses. This is particularly attractive in special needs education (SNE) as it can provide a safe space in which students can learn and practice…

This research is related mainly to the study of the results on the development of digital literacy and digital empathy with micro-learning via activities on metaverse. The main concept of this study is based on the integration of micro-learning process with metaverse technology in order to encourage and provide learners with opportunities to…
