However, global problems in recent years, such as the Coronavirus pandemic, have highlighted the need for digital alternatives to traditional in-person visits. One such alternative could be intercultural seminars using telepresence robots, which allow students to experience particularly realistic intercultural interactions in their real environments. In this research, we evaluated the effects of two semi-virtual intercultural seminars on diversity and intercultural competence that integrated telepresence robots to enable interactions between students located in Germany and Kenya. We conducted quantitative and qualitative analyses using data from <em>N</em> = 135 college students. One half of these students actively participated in one of the seminars. The other half did not participate in the seminars or participated only passively (without using the robots), and formed the control group. In line with our expectations, active participants in the seminars showed significant increases in metacognitive CQ, cognitive CQ, and behavioral CQ, likely due to the particular combination of seminar contents and methods. In contrast, no changes in CQ were found in the control group. Our evaluation of the telepresence robots reveals a mixed picture: Although the students showed high acceptance of using telepresence robots in intercultural seminars, this acceptance did not change during the seminars. Moreover, several technical problems hindered the smooth operation of the robots. Nevertheless, the concept of the seminars under examination proved to be promising for enhancing students’ CQ in an efficient manner.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100320,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education: X Reality","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100007"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49767321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Embodied learning has been highlighted as a way to enhance the acquisition of early literacy skills. In addition, the use of technologies has been suggested as way of improving attentional control and motivation, which ultimately can improve learning outcomes. However, the combination of Virtual Reality (VR) and embodied learning in preschool children is yet to be explored wherefore the idea to the VR PLAYMORE study emerged. The project is designed as a three-armed randomized controlled trial with 6-7-year-old children in the Copenhagen area of Denmark. Children will be allocated to either a: 1) VR group, 2) mirror group or 3) control group throughout a 2-week intervention period. The VR group and mirror group will perform activities designed with accordance to the embodied learning theory. However, the VR group will perform the activities while wearing VR headsets whereas the mirror group will perform the activities in front of a whole-body mirror without VR headsets. The control group will continue regular teaching activities without the research group interruption. This study protocol follows the SPIRIT guidelines. Outcome measurements will include testing of literacy skills and attentional control. The study will add new knowledge to the research field of embodied learning and the use of VR technology in a school setting with focus on reading- and spelling-related skills and attentional control since this combination is yet to be explored.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100320,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education: X Reality","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49750064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authenticity of the learning experience increases when learning is situated in a context akin to the real world, and realistic learning experiences are created by carefully designing the learning tasks, context, and environment. The fidelity of a learning task's psychological, physical, functional, and social aspects and environment is the design attributes that contribute to the authenticity of the learning experience. The social context, or the social environment during learning, is essential in engaging learners in authentic learning tasks. In this mixed-method study, we investigate whether the collaborative nature of the learning activities, the authentic design of the learning experience and tasks, and the social environment impact the learner's perceptions of their learning experience and confidence in learning transfer. Two instruments were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed separately and then together through triangulation. The findings of this study suggest that learners perceived the tasks and environment as realistic and the learning activities' collaborative aspect as helpful. The authentic learning environment did not significantly impact learners' confidence to transfer. However, the experience led to valuable metacognitive reflection and change in self-efficacy beliefs about their learning and practice needs. This experience may result in better self-regulation in long-term learning. This paper presents the findings of this study and discusses future research implications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100320,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education: X Reality","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100017"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49750106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For students of chemistry, such complex information can pertain to the visualisation of structural changes in molecules throughout chemical reactions. This can be alleviated through the affordances of augmented reality (AR) technology. 3D structures are important as they have a crucial impact on the chemical and physical properties of molecules. Within a framework of Cognitive Load Theory, this study illustrates how AR-supported worked examples may enhance learning of electrophilic aromatic substitution. The participant cohort were FHEQ level 5 undergraduate students studying a module of organic chemistry. In addition, the achievement motivation of learner's was also explored, and how this may be impacted by the provision of AR technology and worked examples. The control group was provided with a copy of our worked examples that contained 2D reaction mechanism drawings. Data was collected using a combination of quantitative instruments and qualitative surveys/interviews. For this cohort of students, significant intragroup improvements, and greater normalised change values, in conceptual understanding were observed in the AR group. This was not observed in the control group. No significant intergroup differences in reported cognitive load or achievement motivation of students were found. This was unaffected when introducing prior relevant chemistry experience as a covariate. Student feedback and subsequent thematic analysis show not only the positive impacts on student engagement, but also how students convey their understanding of electrophilic aromatic substitution principles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100320,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education: X Reality","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100021"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49750923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work intends to explore and evaluate preservice service teachers’ (PSTs) experiences using VR and the effects of creativity, mental flexibility (MF), acute stress, and cognitive demand (CD). Forty-eight undergraduate college students in year two of their teacher preparation program were recruited for the study. Each of the preservice teachers was assigned randomly to one of two conditions, microteaching (<em>n</em> = 24) or VR (<em>n</em> = 24). The use of these two conditions allowed the researchers to compare the effects of creativity and MF [measured using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking] on cognitive demand and stress responses [measured using heart rate variability and electrodermal activity]. Results from analysis of the hemodynamic data and stress response data illustrate that the protective factors of creativity and MF may moderate success in VR and the reduction of cognitive demand and stress when VR is used to develop skills related to teaching.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100320,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Education: X Reality","volume":"1 ","pages":"Article 100003"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949678022000034/pdfft?md5=03fdf81ba8c157e677fcc8c46a90f80f&pid=1-s2.0-S2949678022000034-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123080712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
