Identifying reading disabilities through eye movements
This study explores the potential of eye-tracking technology combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to identify early reading disabilities (RD). Findings indicate significant differences in fixation patterns between elementary students with and without RD, suggesting eye-tracking as a promising screening tool for classroom use. Students’ reading failure is a systemic problem across the United States. Early reading interventions show promise i…
The Integration of Mixed Reality Simulation into Reading Literacy Modules
The reading literacy crisis, among learners, in countries throughout the world and in South Africa seems to be reaching pandemic levels. Hence, the quality of teaching and the preparation that pre-service teachers receive at initial teacher education institutions is under the spotlight. A proactive action research design is used to integrate mixed reality simulation into reading literacy modules. Our data collection methods included professional …
Using a Virtual Avatar Teaching Simulation and an Evidence-Based Teacher Observation Tool
The authors describe the combination of a mixed-reality simulation program and a teacher observation software tool to gather and analyze both comments and data in a teacher preparation program. Current research on this simulation experience for teachers to practice their craft, called TLE TeachLivE, is presented, along with the general and specific uses of this mixed-reality simulator. The authors also describe a recently developed teacher observ…
The Past, the Present, and the Future of the Evolution of Mixed Reality in Teacher Education
The authors in this article provide a historical view (past) on the development of mixed reality (MR) simulation in teacher education as well as a brief history of simulation from other fields along with foundational knowledge on the evolution of simulation. The authors provide a systematic review of the current state (present) of the research in MR for teacher education within the past 5 years aligned with the research question “What are the use…
Reflecting upon 30 Years of STEM Partnerships between Industry, University, and Public Schools
The importance of partnerships is critical in educational arenas, but information on how partnerships form with the involvement of corporations, districts, and universities working in harmony is limited in the current literature. The teacher preparation program described in this paper is a “built-to-last” partnership model with over 650 teachers prepared to be teacher-leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. …
The quality of classroom experiences in Chinese kindergarten classrooms across settings and learning activities
The Potential of Simulated Environments in Teacher Education
The future of virtual environments is evident in many fields but is just emerging in the field of teacher education. In this article, the authors provide a summary of the evolution of simulation in the field of teacher education and three factors that need to be considered as these environments further develop. The authors provide a specific example of the work at two universities that use a specific virtual environment, TLE TeachLivETM, in teach…
