However, related research concerning technology integration in the classroom has shown that a valuable medium alone does not automatically lead to its successful use. It is therefore the aim of the paper to present an approach by which competencies of pre-service teachers for a successful and appropriate integration of Augmented and Virtual Reality-applications in the classroom are fostered - the own design of Augmented and Virtual Reality applications. We will begin with a short discussion of prominent findings and related work in regard to teaching and learning with and about Augmented and Virtual Reality in the first part before introducing the main goals and aspects of the presented pedagogical concept and the seminar in the second part of the paper. In the third part, two applications created in the seminar and qualitative data from an explorative study based on focus group interviews and participant observation will be presented. We close with a discussion of our findings and an outlook to future work.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127676287","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 project included 20 teachers from Italy, Portugal, Norway, Poland, and Greece. The learning games used in this pilot were Variant: Limits™, an educational mathematics game about calculus, and ARTé: Mecenas™, an educational art history game about the Italian Renaissance, both by Triseum™, an educational game studio based in the US. The scientific evaluation of the game-based learning pilot included focus groups and focused on aspects of application modes and effects on student motivation, classroom engagement, and learning outcomes. In the following, the focus group results for motivation and classroom engagement will be introduced, and first conclusions will be drawn regarding the respective effects on students as perceived by the teachers. The overall results show that both games were successful in stimulating motivation and classroom engagement with the students, even though the effects varied between the two games in certain regards and were discovered to depend on numerous factors in the context of interpersonal differences.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126424869","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}

However, learning by gaming is still not recognized by formal educational systems. The author believes that the application of this approach is particularly slow at the level of primary and secondary education in countries with low and middle income, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina. Integrating serious games into curricula in these contexts could significantly benefit the students, as well as the community in general. This work, therefore, promotes technology as one of the crucial educational and pedagogical components. It provides an overview of selected educational games created for pre-school and elementary school children with specific learning intentions revolving around alphabet, colours and elementary science. A pilot study was performed with neuro-typical and neuro-atypical children, and professionals working at an NGO ``EDUS - Education for All''. The findings show that both students and instructors have a positive attitude towards the game design and logic, and more importantly, towards the technology itself. In the end, we believe that the games presented in this paper can be valuable resources for teachers, as well as for children and parents.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127524135","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}

We believe that appropriate feedback can help operators who control avatars in the virtual world deepen their understanding of the relationship between the avatar and other characters in the virtual world. The aim of this study is to assist the operator to understand the context of a virtual world by using the avatar's affective expressions to reflect the operator's mental state. We conducted an experiment to investigate whether the appropriate feedback from the avatar's affective expressions can enhance the operator's understanding of the context in the virtual world. In the experiment, we used two types of avatars: a ``feedback avatar'' that provided feedback reflected the operator's mental states and an ``expression avatar'' that randomly provided the same affective expressions. As a result, we suggest that the affective expressions of the ``feedback avatar'' that were matched to the participants' mental states may enhance the understanding of the context of the avatar's character in the virtual world.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132101553","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}
