However, virtual experiments are not always effective for learning. The current study examined how two small manipulations might support better learning from virtual experiments and the extent to which this varied across learners. Undergraduates in an introductory biology class (n = 415) were randomly assigned to a 2(agency: active, passive) × 2(strategy instruction: control condition, control of variables [CVS] strategy instruction) between-subjects design and completed two prior knowledge tests (topic, general science). Comprehension tests results indicated that the students had relatively good comprehension of the experiment content, but that performance was driven by prior knowledge. Although there were no significant effects of the agency or strategy instruction manipulations, exploratory interactions suggest a need to further investigate which types of virtual experiment supports might be most beneficial for different learners.KEYWORDS: Science simulationsvirtual science experimentsprior knowledgelearner guidancecomprehension Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Per IRB requirements, students were allowed to complete the study for extra credit without consenting to have their data used in this research study.

Se mapeo la estructura intelectual del campo de investigación de innovación educativa mediante los análisis de cocitación y coocurrencia. La evolución de tópicos ejecutada mediante mapas de superposición revela la coocurrencia entre los tópicos de: educación, enseñanza o estudiantes e innovación educativa en conjunto con aspectos de la educación a distancia como son los MOOC, el pensamiento crítico, el aprendizaje digital o el desarrollo sostenible, los cuales no se acercan a conceptos más específicos relacionados con las estrategias de educación mediática. Por otro lado, se evidencia la emergencia de paradigmas centrados en ingeniería educativa,e-learning, ecosistemas de aprendizaje y ecología. Destaca el impacto de conceptos como enseñanza, estudiantes, instrucción asistida por ordenador, aprendizaje, gamificación y desarrollo sostenible; y se observa el interés por competencias STEM, aprendizaje digital, modelos educacionales, pensamiento crítico, las habilidades, aprendizaje activo y MOOC, aspectos relacionados con la educomunicación. Los autores referentes de este campo son: Debe, Cuban, Henderson, Cabero, Ibáñez, Manes y Fullan, autores no relacionados con los ámbitos de la educomunicación.

When it comes to measuring it, according to the results of studies consulted (Livingstone, 2003; Vicent González, 2014; Fedorov et al. 2015; Ferrés, 2018 and 2020; Pereira, 2018). In the studies reviewed on critical competence, a major deficiency was noted in the case of teachers, students, and families when it came to the critical analysis of information published in the media and the use of digital resources. Both the results of scientific studies (Gutiérrez-Marín et al. 2012) and European organizations and UNESCO agree on the need to urgently implement media and critical literacy in virtual classrooms. With the aim of promoting a reflective reading of media messages, this study aims to measure teachers’ critical competence through a series of practical exercises based on the analysis of advertising images, news and hoaxes using a quantitative methodology based on a survey, provided online, to teachers in five countries: Spain, Italy, Malta, and the United Kingdom. The surveys yielded valuable data confirming the effectiveness of training teachers through distance and/or face-to-face education in addressing misinformation and media manipulation.","PeriodicalId":46327,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Distance Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46105670","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}
