Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by overlaying illustrations onto 3D space. Here we explore the question: What affordances does AR in a collaborative environment have for the future of mathematics education in uncertain times? We conducted a study where…

Anatomy forms the foundation for the training and execution of routine surgical procedures. However, a gap persists in effectively bridging anatomical knowledge with the confident performance of procedures. Virtual simulation (VS) techniques, based on experiential and situated learning theory, hold promise in addressing this challenge.…

This paper explores the effective development and use of interactive simulations as a learning tool, integrating didactic and active approaches with complex laboratory and lecture content in undergraduate biochemistry and immunology courses. University science courses require students to master vast quantities of foundational knowledge that is…

This study aims to explore the perspectives of gifted students on augmented reality, one of the innovative possibilities offered by instructional technologies. Action research involved 40 gifted students aged 10-11, enrolled in a Science and Art Center (SAC). Over the course of five weeks, the study focused on teaching various topics related to…

Structural equation models offer a valuable tool for delineating the complicated interrelationships among multiple variables, including observed and latent variables. Over the last few decades, structural equation models have successfully analyzed complete and right-censored survival data, exemplified by wide applications in psychological, social,…

This paper explores the development and evaluation of a MOOCs-based virtual physics measurement laboratory module designed to overcome common barriers in physics education, such as limited physical lab access, high costs, and safety concerns. Utilizing the Borg and Gall Research and Development model, this module integrates structured layouts,…

This study explores the intersection of Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities and driving performance among novice drivers, with a focus on autistic individuals. The purpose is to investigate how ToM deficits may impact driving behaviors and decision-making, ultimately informing the development of tailored interventions and training programs for autistic…

In modern education, mobile applications offer flexibility for learning anytime and anywhere, yet biochemistry lacks mobile-based virtual laboratories. This study aimed to develop a 2D Mobile-Based Virtual Laboratory Simulation (2D-MViLS) for blood glucose level measurement and evaluate its impact on pharmacy students' learning experience. In…

Digital simulations are powerful instructional tools for physics education. They are often designed to visualize canonical physical phenomena, with adjustable parameters for influencing the system. While this is sufficient for developing conceptual and qualitative intuitions, it does little to help physics students build connections between…

Purpose -- Through the use of content analysis, this study was aimed at identifying the patterns in research conducted during the past decade and investigating the bibliometric outcomes of articles focused on augmented reality (AR) utilization in biology learning. Methodology -- This study conducted a bibliometric analysis. To perform the…

Due to the frequent utilization of technological applications in contemporary times, the quality of educational processes is rapidly evolving. This study examines students' experiences through simulation software applications. A mixed-method design is employed due to the combined use of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods.…

Dyslexia is a learning disability that significantly hinders students' abilities to read and comprehend educational materials, posing a substantial challenge within educational environments. This paper introduces an innovative educational system, ReadSmart, that integrates both Augmented Reality (AR) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)…

The inquiry-based learning platform mix game-based learning using metaverse, or IBL platform mixed with GBL using metaverse, was developed with an intention to enhance digital literacy and empathy skills, which are regarded as essential skills in the 21st century. The IBL platform mixed with GBL using metaverse was designed with the combination of…

Because of the recent pandemic, new teaching methods have been trialed, even in traditional disciplines such as histopathology that typically involve extensive hands-on laboratory work. In this study, we investigated the effects of three different learning modalities in histopathology teaching: optical microscopy, in-class virtual microscopy (VM),…

Climate change is a nuanced global issue with a scope that is often difficult to fully appreciate. This study examined an undergraduate course focused on the impacts and responses to climate change on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, USA. The course utilized a socioscientific issues (SSI) approach to examine global climate change in a local…
