The authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR). MR environments merge the digital with the physical, where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet. Recent research supports the idea that body activity can be an important catalyst for generating learning, and new technologies are being developed that use natural human physicality and gesture as input. However, existing research on embodied learning technologies has been disparate, driven largely by specific technical innovations and constraints, and often lacking a clear focus on establishing their efficacy in educational contexts. On the basis of the unique characteristics of these technologies and on their own experiences conducting research in this area, the authors put forth six precepts for embodied learning technology researchers that pertain to the rationale, design, and...read more

Advantages and challenges associated with augmented reality for education: A systematic review of the literature
Murat Akçayır,Gökçe Akçayır +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of the literature on augmented reality (AR) used in educational settings is presented, considering factors such as publication year, learner type (e.g., K-12, higher education, and adult), technologies in AR, and the advantages and challenges of using AR in educational setting.

Enhancing learning and engagement through embodied interaction within a mixed reality simulation
TL;DR: Results of the study indicate that enacting concepts and experiencing critical ideas in physics through whole-body activity leads to significant learning gains, higher levels of engagement, and more positive attitudes towards science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Experience Enhances Science Learning
TL;DR: The physical experience, a brief exposure to forces associated with angular momentum, significantly improved quiz scores and was explained by activation of sensorimotor brain regions when students later reasoned about angular momentum.

Immersive VR and Education: Embodied Design Principles That Include Gesture and Hand Controls
TL;DR: The primary focus of this article is on the embodiment afforded by gesture in 3D for learning, and the new generation of hand controllers induces embodiment and agency via meaningful and congruent movements with the content to be learned.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Embedded and Embodied Cognition Review of Instructional Manipulatives
TL;DR: The authors argued that perceptual and interactive richness may provide opportunities for alleviating cognitive load, and that transfer of learning is not reliant on decontextualized knowledge but may draw on previous sensorimotor experiences of the kind afforded by perceptual or interactive richness of manipulatives.

Body parts as numerals: A developmental analysis of numeration among the Oksapmin in Papua New Guinea.
TL;DR: In this paper, the acquisition of an indigenous body part numerational system by children who live among remote Oksapmin village populations in Papua New Guinea was analyzed. But the development of numerational systems was not discussed.

Improving the authentic learning experience by integrating robots into the mixed-reality environment
TL;DR: RoboStage significantly improved the sense of authenticity of the task and also positively affected learning motivation, and learning performance was conditionally affected by RoboStage.

Embedded phenomena: supporting science learning with classroom-sized distributed simulations
TL;DR: The motivations for the framework are described, classroom experiences are described with three embedded phenomena in the domains of seismology, insect ecology, and astronomy, and embedded phenomena within the context of human-computer interaction research in co-located group interfaces and learning technologies are situated.

How Gesture Promotes Learning Throughout Childhood
TL;DR: Gesture may prove to be useful in the home, the classroom, and the clinic as a way to alter the pace, and perhaps the course, of learning and development.
