Workers in many vocations rely on a wide range of information to solve problems, including Dutch municipal enforcement officials (MEOs) who require this skill when planning surveillance routes. The present study focused on the development of a digital simulation game intended for assessing domain-specific information problem solving (IPS) in…

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by adding technical information or illustrations onto 3D space. Although AR-based applications are showing positive effects in many systematic reviews and meta-analyses, well-designed, rigorous studies with strong control…

Augmented reality (AR), where digital holograms are layered over the real world, is rapidly being applied to different educational domains, including mathematics education. However, little is known about how AR can be effectively designed for collaborative use. There are both practical and theory-based reasons to set up collaboration in AR in…

This systematic review provides an examination of the current literature on rehearsals in literacy-based methods courses for teacher preparation. We conceptualized a rehearsal as a teacher candidate teaching to a peer or group of peers, a teacher educator or mentor, live actors, or through a technology-based teaching simulation. Studies in this…

The development of accurate spatial conceptualisations of molecular biology structures, processes and interactions represents a critical learning outcome for a wide array of life sciences students. In this study, we investigated student learning through a bespoke virtual reality (VR) simulation focused on interactive assembly of an expression…

Despite the increasing use of digital tools in education, limited research has explored their combined impact on both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in mathematics. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the effect of integrating GeoGebra technology through Augmented Reality (AR) and microgames on students' motivation,…

This paper explores how technology-enhanced simulations can refine K-12 students' mental models and decision-making skills within the context of maritime careers. As part of a regional initiative, over 1,300 students from multiple school divisions engaged with a suite of digital simulations interactive 360-degree environments, 3D models, and…

With the growing availability of immersive technologies, such as Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), students are now afforded greater opportunities to explore diverse educational domains, including Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STREAM). However, there remains a paucity of research investigating the efficacy of…

Virtual reality learning objects are representative of promising immersive, interactive technologies that may have the potential to support increased accessibility to learning. Evaluating the experiences of educators' and students' in using these tools within the educational process is not only critical for ensuring that technology integration is…

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…

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 paper walks the reader through a simple mathematical characterization of the popular children's game, "Chutes and Ladders," focusing primarily on Monte Carlo simulation. The focus is then shifted to the board game "No Te Enojes" in order to analyze the implications of the introduction of strategy. The presence of strategy…

COVID-19 has crowned a number of other disasters (wildfires in Australia, Desert Locusts in Kenya, an imminent WWIII merging Iran and the US), causing panic to click into place and horror to become our global predicament, making us realize that we live in the illusion of the permanence of things, of mastery, and of immortality. People's turning to…

Two-dimensional (2D) drawing is one of the most common communication approaches in the civil and construction engineering domain. However, there are limits to the traditional classroom setting for training in 2D drawing and interpretation skills. New visualization techniques exist for integrating the third dimension (depth) to 2D drawings,…

With the increase in cybercrime costing organizations financial loss and loss to their reputation, the need to hire qualified and experienced employees is paramount. As the gap in the workforce shortage widens, cybersecurity education and training institutions are struggling to produce a capable workforce with enough experience and skills that…
