Mathematics anxiety through the lens of engagement in learning: A multimodal analysis
Mathematics anxiety (MA) is reliably associated with lower achievement, but how it shapes engagement during learner interaction with coordinated representations in digital environments is less known. This study examined MA-related differences in emotional and cognitive engagement dynamics while learning with siMMath, an interactive simulation that integrates dynamic manipulatives with explanatory text to support proportional reasoning for medicat…
What can be learned from laypersons’ scientific practices in everyday life: A perspective on causal reasoning
Science education aims to cultivate ‘competent outsiders’ – individuals who apply scientific reasoning in real-world contexts. Analysing public engagement with science provides insights into how real-world science is intuitively used and its effect on decision-making. Beyond identifying credible information sources, scientific engagement involves reasoning about causal relationships and underlying mechanisms. This study examines how cancer patien…
A Nuanced Perspective on VR Learning: Exploring the Effects of Immersion Levels on Knowledge Acquisition Using Electrodermal and Eye Tracking Sensors
Engagement in learning during times of crisis
Learning engagement is crucial for educational success, but is often negatively impacted during crises. War-induced trauma, leading to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, may reduce emotional, cognitive, and behavioral engagement in learning. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this relationship is critical for supporting student learning in crisis settings. This study examines the association between war-induced PTSD symptom endo…
The impact of Covid-19 induced anxiety on students’ engagement while learning with online computer-based simulations: The mediating role of boredom
Computer-based simulations are highly effective in supporting students’ deep conceptual understanding of scientific ideas. However, in the unprecedented era of the COVID-19 outbreak, students around the world experienced an induced state anxiety, which may have affected their engagement with the learning environments and ultimately their academic outcomes. This crisis underscores the global need to examine the learning processes and identify mean…
Facial expressions capturing emotional engagement while learning with desktop VR: The impact of emotional regulation and personality traits
Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to induce excessive affective processing, which in turn impacts the learning process and learning outcomes. Therefore, a better understanding of emotional dynamics and how emotions are instigated while learning with VR is needed. For this purpose, the students learning process with a VR simulation was captured using continuous measurement of facial expressions. In addition, personality traits and self-regulated…
Teaching immunology in the 21st century: A scoping review of emerging challenges and strategies
Immunology, a complex and rapidly evolving biological field, serves dual educational goals: training healthcare professionals and immunologists as well as promoting immune literacy among laypeople. This study conducted a scoping review of the literature to explore different aspects of immunology education, examining various contexts, levels, and content areas, including cognitive and motivational challenges. In addition, analysis covered differen…
Learning with virtual reality simulations: Direct versus vicarious instructional experience
As virtual reality (VR) technologies have been increasingly adopted in the educational field, careful consideration and evaluation of instructional modes to support learning with VR are needed. This study focuses on evaluation of two instructional modes: direct interaction and manipulation of the VR learning environment; and the vicarious approach of observing how a novice peer and an expert learn with VR. An experimental design was utilized with…
The effect of the modality principle to support learning with virtual reality: An eye‐tracking and electrodermal activity study
What drives the public's use of data? The mediating role of trust in science and data literacy in functional scientific reasoning concerning Covid‐19
Is public engagement with science deliberative and evidence‐based? The public is often perceived as underprepared to use data and susceptible to partisan and emotional manipulation. Consequently, educational efforts focus on the ability to identify reliable information. We posit that effective engagement with science goes beyond this and hinges on data literacy. We leveraged the unique circumstances of COVID‐19, where diverse people inundated wit…
Cognitive and emotional engagement while learning with VR: The perspective of multimodal methodology
This study uses a multimodal data analysis approach to provide a more continuous and objective insight into how students' engagement unfolds and impacts learning achievements. In this study, 61 nursing students' learning processes with a virtual reality (VR)-based simulation were captured by psycho-physiological data streams of facial expression, eye-tracking, and electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors, as well as by subjective self-reports. Studen…
The Role of Science-Based Knowledge on the Sars-CoV-2 Virus in Reducing Covid-19-Induced Anxiety among Nurses
The COVID-19 infection has generated not only a risk of morbidity and mortality but also resulted in an enormous psychological impact on healthcare providers and the general public. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anxiety and identify the role of protective factors. A two-part cross-sectional study was conducted, by means of an online questionnaire. Part 1 investigated 562 registered nurses, nursing students, and the general public…
Interactions between emotional and cognitive engagement with science on YouTube
This study aimed to map and characterize public engagement with science on YouTube. A two-part study was conducted. First, we collected and quantitatively analyzed trending videos on YouTube to evaluate the magnitude of public interaction with science content. Then, we assessed actual, rather than self-reports of, media interactions with science-related YouTube trending videos. We tested associations between behavioral engagement of viewing, liki…
