Background: Inquiry-based learning (IbL) has significantly contributed to science education, and this impact can be enhanced with technology. Augmented Reality (AR) offers 3D visualisation and interactive experiences, whereas Video-based Learning (VbL) provides narratives with visual and audio support. Both methods aid students in exploring,…

Integration of 3D photogrammetry models into anatomical education can enhance students' understanding of complex anatomical structures. With advancements in photogrammetry technology, this integration has become more accessible. Interactive, photorealistic models complement traditional methods such as donor dissections. This study evaluates the…

Technology integration throughout educator preparation programs is an essential component that allows pre-service teachers to learn how to better facilitate and become proficient in pedagogical practices that can enhance teaching skills to support students with varied abilities. One approach to assisting pre-service teachers develop teaching…

This study describes an educational strategy of forming transdisciplinary work teams--with students from different careers and semesters--for developing academic projects as a collaborative learning tool. This strategy was implemented in the elective course Process Design, which involved developing projects in industrial processes. As a final…

The current study aimed to explore the influence of pedagogical agents and visual cues on students' deep learning within a virtual reality setting by evaluating the effects on various factors, including learning outcomes, intrinsic motivation, cognitive load, learning engagement, and cognitive processing metrics. The investigation utilized a 2 x 2…

Purpose: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of scholarly literature on the educational impacts of the metaverse, systematically identifying emerging themes, challenges and implications for metaverse education. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses systematic literature review techniques using the Scopus database to investigate…

Maritime user interfaces for ships' bridges are highly dependent on the context in which they are used, and rich maritime context is difficult to recreate in the early stages of user-centered design processes. Operations in Arctic waters where crews are faced with extreme environmental conditions, technology limitations and a lack of accurate…

Virtual labs have proven to be very versatile and valuable for providing realistic experience for students in STE (Science, Technology, and Engineering) fields. As we progress from delivery of instructional material from classroom to the Internet, there is need to develop laboratory exercises to supplement the theoretical lessons. A Web-based…

Despite the growing use of virtual environments for training in complex industrial settings, we have little understanding of how these innovative settings transform training and trainers everyday work. This study investigates the instructional use of an industrial building's virtual environment by expert trainers during a training session for…

A hologram tutor is an instructional medium that has promising potential to serve as a substitute for actual teachers in classroom learning. Commonly, actual humans are used as the characters for the hologram tutor. Doubtlessly, this choice has its own advantages. However, in terms of development, it involves difficult and complicated steps.…

Augmented reality applications in STEM education have increasing importance in recent years and it draws attention that scientific studies on this subject have gained momentum in the literature. The purpose of this research is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of studies on the use of augmented reality applications in STEM education in the…

With Rasmussen's abstraction hierarchy as starting point, the present article focuses on understanding some of the aspects guiding the development of a simulation exercise (SimEx) from a multi-faceted perspective, based on interviews and post-exercise evaluations conducted with both exercise designers and participants. The results show that, in…

The concept of area measure is widely viewed as fundamental. It is both intrinsically important and also structurally significant, as a representative of the class of continuous multiplicative quantities. Operating flexibly in this context with meaning and conceptual understanding is thus a critical objective for elementary education. Meanwhile,…

In view of the emerging technologies in the virtual reality industry, VR provides a practical platform to train people in a safe and time-saving manner through serious virtual training tasks. Recent researches validate the effectiveness of virtual training, especially, it has been proved that personalized training in virtual reality is efficient…

Engaging students in scientific argumentation is a hallmark of high-quality science instruction. Despite the importance of this practice, it is not a ubiquitous one within K-12 classrooms since scientific argumentation is complex and difficult to learn how to do well. In this study, we examined similarities and differences in how preservice…
