This study aims to determine students' opinions about the educational use of the Metaverse. The study was conducted during the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The sample of the study consists of 34 second-year students at the Department of Computer Engineering of a state university in the Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey. The…

My intention is to consider Bernard Stiegler's concept of 'journeys of knowledge' (Stiegler, "Nanjing lectures (2016-2019)." Open Humanities Press, 2020) and to explore how one might rethink the knowledge-creating potentialities of information itself. This has become all the more apparent in the time of lockdowns, physical distancing…

This review aims to synthesize the current knowledge on the conventional design studio context. This is a narrative literature review based on articles published within the last ten years, while 60 articles were selected for the literature review following a rigorous filtration process. The final articles were selected by applying inclusion and…

In recent years, there has been a surge in research in spatial thinking across the international community. We now know that spatial skills are malleable and that they are linked to success across multiple disciplines, most notably Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). While spatial skills have been examined by cognitive…

The artwork "Insight Into Speculative Future Scenarios of Touching in a Society of Social Isolation" is based on the speculative design case "TouchBuddy" developed by Engbirk-Friis et al. (2020). It is an inquiry into how technology might mediate touching in real time in a society of social isolation. The research is…

Cameroonian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), in the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, have taken aggressive action to provide effective teaching and learning experiences to address the needs of learners. Teachers have widely adopted web 2.0 technologies in Cameroonian Universities. This research provides insight into Cameroonian students'…

Training through simulation in neonatology relies on sophisticated simulation devices that give realistic feedback to trainees during simulated scenarios. It aims at training highly specialised medical teams in established operational skills, timely clinical manoeuvres, and successful synergy with other professionals. For effective teaching, it is…

Most applications of virtual reality and technology used in counseling occur in the context of client intervention and treatment. This article presents how virtual enhanced education tools such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and 360° videos provide a stage for constructing creative opportunities for experiential learning in counselor…

Storytelling has been a part of our lives ever since humans made the first attempt to communicate with their fellow beings. In ancient times, before oral storytelling even appeared, humans drew pictures and symbols to communicate their stories. As a universal language which everyone can understand, stories have been passed on from generations to…

Drop Tower Physics (DTP) is composed of a set of experiments using standard physics lecture demonstration equipment, such as a pendulum, mass spring oscillator, and so forth, while videotaping them as they fall freely in the Dryden Drop Tower in Portland, OR. An article published in "The Physics Teacher" illustrated the behavior of a…

Adults often act considerately toward others, for example, by leaving the last cookie on a plate or stepping aside on a busy sidewalk. What do young children infer from observing considerate behavior? In three preregistered studies, we assess how young children evaluate considerate and inconsiderate behavior by showing them animated videos in…

In this article, I explain how percussion and groove are at the core of many musics created and enjoyed today, yet they can be overlooked in music teaching and learning. A pervasive culture of pitched-instrument prejudice makes it difficult to take rhythm and groove seriously, although these can be at the core of meaningful music-making…

A 4-E model of cognition suggests that it is embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended. All these elements are permeated by a fifth "E"--emotion. This article addresses issues of emotion and affect concerning how and where we are embedded or placed in the world. It draws on and presents examples from a larger study involving twelve…

Aim: There is a growing evidence-base for the effectiveness of Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) in enhancing communication within relationships. However, its longer-term outcomes are unclear. This paper explores practitioners' views and experiences in relation to VIG's longer-term outcomes. Method: Findings from studies that evaluate VIG's…

Virtual learning environments have been recognized as an area of particular importance by which educators can use to improve desirable learning behaviours. Investigating the impact of different virtual environments on learners' behaviours has become the centre of attention of researchers, especially during COVID-19. The homophily effect of…
