Flow is described as a state in which people become so involved or engrossed in an activity that nothing else seems to matter (Csikszentmihalyi, 2009). This state of consciousness seems to occur when a person is involved in a task and seemingly unable to stop. Flow states are marked by (a) a perceived balance of skills and challenge, (b)…

Basketball tactical patterns are typically taught using tools such as 2D tactical boards. Rapid decision-making in a team depends on the ability to connect two-dimensional (2D) third-person positions with three-dimensional (3D) first-person perspectives. This study develops a support system that offers a virtual environment to enhance the…

Simulated learning experiences (SLEs) are becoming increasingly popular in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) training programs. This pilot study examines the relative effectiveness of delivering a SLE via standard computer or using virtual reality headsets for a more immersive learning experience. Seventy undergraduate CSD students were…

Stellar observation, encompassing the study of star formation, stellar properties, and the governing physical laws, presents a readily accessible topic for many learners; however, many stargazing beginners may find it challenging. By applying the supplemental Gollin effect within animated display and the haptic effect of game-like play with a…

Before they even talk, infants become sensitive to the speech sounds of their native language and recognize the auditory form of an increasing number of words. Traditionally, these early perceptual changes are attributed to an emerging knowledge of linguistic categories such as phonemes or words. However, there is growing skepticism surrounding…

Aim: In recent years, the integration of cutting-edge technology into professional sports training (ST) has revolutionized the way athletes prepare for competition. The study aims to quantitatively analyse the impact of cutting-edge technology on enhancing performance, efficiency, and outcomes in professional ST programs. Purpose: The purpose of…

Background: In recent years, immersive virtual reality in education has garnered attention, however, there have been mixed findings on the efficacy of IVR in education. Thus, exploring which strategies are effective in transferring learning from IVR to real-world applications is imperative. Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of…

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students are typically taught content delivered didactically and closely aligned with the laboratory demonstration of concepts, which facilitates the development of experimental skills. Because of the volume of content delivered across multiple courses, student cognitive abilities can be…

Augmented reality (AR) has been regarded as a useful tool in writing education, with the goal of enhancing students' learning. However, questions still exist about the consistency of student motivation and their writing performance when participating in educational activities driven by AR. This study focused on AR-based writing courses, employing…

This study was conducted in the laboratory and Metaverse environment with "Acids-Bases," a science subject related to the Metaverse, one of today's technologies. In line with the purpose of the research, the embedded design of the mixed research method, which combined quantitative and qualitative research methods, was used. The…

The rapidly evolving domain of military space operations has become increasingly integral to national security and defense strategies. Emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), simulators and extended reality (XR) tools such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), are revolutionizing how military forces train and…

Using virtual reality (VR), six journalism students were given training on how to cover a protest that turns violent. The goal was to investigate if VR could help increase awareness of and resilience to the physical and psychological dangers of journalistic work. Pre- and post-interviews were analyzed for themes associated with learning and…

Background: Teachers' team innovativeness--the collective capacity of teaching teams to generate, adopt, and implement new ideas and practices--is increasingly recognized for its role in enhancing instructional methods and fostering school innovation. However, empirical research identifying its predictors remains limited, particularly within…

The metaverse has gained considerable attention and enormous investments in recent years and is increasingly recognized as a critical domain for future interactions and communications. Despite its growing importance, there is a notable lack of research on metaverse literacy, especially in education and training. This study aims to conceptualize…

Digital technology (DT) does not come with a 'menu' of what teachers can select to transform their instructional practices; it is through use and reflection in/on practice that potential affordances are abstracted. Computer simulation (CS) as DT was explored through auto-ethnography, reflexivity, and action research. The findings of the study…
