The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how public middle school teachers describe their current strategies (RQ1), motivations (RQ2), and challenges (RQ3) when using computer technology (CT) in their instruction in California. In contrast to most prior studies into CT integration, this study followed a qualitative…

This paper mainly discusses the application of blending learning in animation teaching. Blending learning is a combination of traditional teaching mode and online teaching mode, which can provide students with more flexible and independent learning methods and improve teachers' teaching quality and teaching effect. This paper analyzes and…

Virtual museums are the answer a digital society, a new cultural, social, and economic system and a tool for educational innovation and digital learning. This article aims to collate all relevant evidence in virtual cultural museums with a teaching approach and detect what is published using the following question "What is published about…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize education by promoting personalized learning experiences and enhancing educators' efficiency. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used by K-12 teachers for lesson planning, differentiated instruction, and automated feedback. This article examines how ChatGPT, in…

The transformation of natural history and science museums from receptacles (temples) to facilitators (forums) of knowledge fosters discourse around issues relating to science and society, known as social scientific issues (SSI). To assist guests with enhanced object-based learning, extended reality (XR) technologies are thought to leverage the…

Using spatial mapping processes to discriminate between threat and safety is crucial for survival. Little is known why some fail to discriminate during contextual conditioning. We used a virtual reality (VR) contextual conditioning paradigm to elucidate the effects of state and trait anxiety on contextual threat learning. Participants (n = 70)…
