Mixed-reality simulations (MRS) are utilized in teacher preparation programs worldwide. While much of the literature concentrates on the effectiveness of interventions designed to train teachers, this design case outlines the various decisions involved in developing the intervention, including the selection of mixed-reality technology, employing…

This study explored science teachers' beliefs regarding the integration of simulations in inquiry-based science teaching (IBST) toward improving inquiry-based learning (IBL), both being grounded in constructivist principles in promoting critical and innovative thinking, scientific literacy and learner autonomy. Teachers' beliefs are crucial to…

This study aims to test the effectiveness of GeoGebra Augmented Reality in improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a posttest-only control group design. The research population is students of the Mathematics Education Study Program at a private university in Indonesia, with a sample of 32…

Extended reality technologies -- mixed, augmented, and virtual reality, and future-related technologies -- are rapidly expanding in many fields, with underexplored potentials for multimodal composition in digital media environments. This research generates new knowledge about the novel wearable technology -- smart glasses -- to support elementary…

The semi-direct speaking test format has limitations, particularly due to its lack of situational authenticity and contextualized input. To address this issue, virtual reality (VR) can be integrated into speaking proficiency tests to enhance authenticity. In this study, a newly designed VR speaking test was administered, and test-takers'…

On this basis, the course of ideological and political education for college students based on virtual reality technology is…

This study explores the integration of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in teaching carbon-neutral development, focusing on experiential learning. Utilizing a case study approach with the Hafencity project in Hamburg, Germany, the research evaluates IVR as an educational tool to deliver an immersive learning experience in carbon-neutral development…

This paper addresses educators' use of a simulated teaching environment and its relationship to changes in indices associated with equitable and culturally responsive teaching practices. Included in the study are data from 48 educators, who spent a minimum of 4 hours and 30 minutes completing 17 sessions in the provided modules, followed by…

The use of metaverse in mathematics education has revolutionized the way the subject is taught. Metaverse provides immersive and engaging experiences that enhance understanding and enable access to previously inaccessible places. This research discusses papers in the field of metaverse and mathematics, including annual scientific outputs,…

This study explores what affordances and challenges teacher candidates experience and consider pedagogically in an individual virtual reality (VR) history experience versus a collective VR history experience and what potential they see in using VR technology in their future history teaching. Study participants were teacher candidates enrolled in a…

Background: Blended mathematical sensemaking in science ("MSS") involves deep conceptual understanding of quantitative relationships describing scientific phenomena. Previously we developed the cognitive framework describing proficiency in MSS across STEM disciplines, and specifically Physical Science. The framework was validated with…

Entrepreneurship education is growing because of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)-based business simulation and gamification. However, there are different responses to gamification-based learning. This study aims to identify the factors that influence learning in gamified business simulation using the self-determination…
