Purpose: The purpose of the study was to develop and test a virtual reality application designed to put the participants "in the shoes" of an autistic person during a routine task. Method: The study involved a randomized controlled trial that included 103 participants recruited from a technical college. Each participant responded to…

This study presents the first comprehensive dual-database bibliometric analysis of game-based learning research, investigating its evolution between 2015 and 2024 through analysis of 34,125 documents from Scopus (18,487) and Web of Science (WoS) (15,638) using advanced visualization techniques. The findings reveal consistent field expansion with…

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the LADEC model in promoting future skills among undergraduate learners. The research objectives included: (1) analyzing the components of the LADEC model; (2) designing and implementing the model; (3) comparing the effectiveness of the LADEC model with the DTP model; and (4) assessing…

The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a growing subject in the technological field, especially when applied to benefit assembly tasks. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review to explore the benefits, challenges, methods and tools in the utilization of AR and AI to assembly tasks applications. The…

The development of immersive virtual reality (IVR) hardware and software has accelerated in recent years. The conceptual vocabulary has, however, not received the same amount of attention, especially in the context of collaborative learning settings. Existing concepts such as immersion, presence and interactivity focus predominantly on the…

Furniture assembly is often perceived as a confusing and demotivating task, especially when relying on traditional manuals and/or online videos, which can be mis. Do It Yourself (DIY) furniture manufacturing can be even more challenging, as it requires not only assembly steps but also material fabrication stages, often demanding access to advanced…

Background: Virtual reality (VR) provides a unique immersive teaching experience and brings significant changes to existing education models. However, barriers may influence the resistance to and non-adoption of VR. Objectives: Grounded in innovation resistance theory (IRT), this study thus examined the resistance attitudes and non-adoption…

Background: The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents both opportunities and challenges for rehabilitation counselor education, particularly in preparing students for complex clinical practice. Objective: This study examined the use of GenAI to support simulated client role-play training in a graduate-level…

Background: Competitive, integrated employment (CIE) rates for individuals with disabilities have continued to be much lower than their peers without disabilities. Integration of advanced technologies to develop and refine innovative, scalable, and sustainable programs that promote CIE in high-demand, economically self-sustaining fields will lead…

Mental rotation is the ability to mentally rotate two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects in one's mind. Previous studies have examined the relationship between mental rotation abilities and embodied cognition. However, conflicting findings underscore the necessity for further investigation. This study aims to investigate how different…

As a teaching and learning medium, 360° videos offer new teaching-learning experiences. Through the possibility of immersion, individual 360° panoramic images, multi-perspective viewing options and interaction possibilities, they extend the advantages of conventional video technology. To understand the potential of using 360° video technology for…

Virtual patients are increasingly used in undergraduate psychiatry education. This article reports on a systematic review aimed at providing an overview of different approaches in this context, describing their effectiveness, and thematically comparing learning outcomes across different undergraduate programs. The authors searched PubMed,…

The 3D stereoscopic technique consists in providing the illusional perception of depth of a given object using two different images mimicking how the right and left eyes capture the object. Both images are slightly different and when overlapped gives a three-dimensional (3D) experience. Considering the limitations for establishing surgical…

This study investigates the individual difference antecedents of students' behavioural intention to use VR-based learning systems, especially from an integrated perspective of Big Five personality traits and perceived physiological vulnerability to IT use (PPVITU). Data collected from 149 respondents are tested against the research model using the…

Serious game-based learning is a high-fashioned topic in educational technology which helps children learn and train their skills. Most existing literature focuses on the improvement of children's specific abilities or skills, such as reading comprehension, attention, memory, etc. However, for cognitively impaired children, it is necessary to…
