  Teachers need to foster their students’ media competencies while acknowledging diversity. Hence, there exists a research desideratum concerning the advancement of respective competencies in initial teacher education. In this study, an action-oriented pedagogical concept of higher education was developed based on existing theory to support preservice teachers’ media education competence focusing on diversity. Empirically, dimensions of diversity considered by preservice teachers while developing media education lesson designs were evaluated. The convenience sample included 28 preservice teachers from a German university. Data were collected in the form of student portfolios and analyzed. The results showed that preservice teachers referred to different dimensions of diversity and prioritized various foci: in particular, interests/recreational habits, age, and mental/physical abilities. They addressed these attributes with regard to digital media. Subsequently, conclusions were drawn regarding the development of an action-oriented pedagogical concept of higher education and a respective outlook concerning research and practice in initial teacher education was presented.

  In a society characterized by processes of change regarding diversity and digitalization, new tasks arise for teacher educators. This article presents a theory based design of a pedagogical concept to promote media pedagogical competence of teacher educators focusing on diversity and using social virtual reality (VR). The concept was implemented at a German University with a convenience sample of eight higher education lecturers. Participants discussed opportunities and challenges of teaching and learning in social VR in a focus group study. The qualitative content analysis highlights numerous opportunities, such as encouraging users’ self-efficacy and self-awareness, as well as potential challenges (e.g. getting used to working with new technologies or establishing interpersonal relationships). In terms of diversity, participants most frequently addressed mental and physical abilities as well as habitus and appearance. Finally, implications for future higher education pedagogy practices and research are discussed.

  Digitalization and globalization brought significant challenges to initial teacher education. Against this background, this article targeted implications for the development and implementation of a pedagogical concept to foster pre-service teachers’ media pedagogical competence. A sample comprising 15 pre-service teachers from two German universities participated in a teaching and learning scenario within a social mixed reality (MR) environment focusing on transcultural education. Subsequently, their perspectives on it were shared in focus group discussions and, thereafter, qualitatively analyzed. Results revealed a wide range of experiences as well as anticipated opportunities and challenges for central teaching and learning components. Conclusions drawn from this study should be considered in future practices and research within initial teacher education.

  The widespread availability of smartphones facilitates the integration of digital, augmented reality (AR), and tangible augmented reality (TAR) learning environments into the classroom. A haptic aspect can enhance the user’s overall experience during a learning process. To investigate further benefits of using TAR for educational purposes, we compare a TAR and a smartphone learning environment with a traditional worksheet counterpart in terms of learning effectiveness, emotions, motivation, and cognitive load. 64 sixth-grade students from a German high school used one of the three conditions to learn about frog anatomy. We found no significant differences in learning effectiveness and cognitive load. The TAR condition elicited significantly higher positive emotions than the worksheet, but not the smartphone condition. Both digital learning environments elicited significantly higher motivation, in contrast to the worksheet. Thus, our results suggest that smartphone and TAR learning environments are equally beneficial for enhancing learning.

  The global pandemic created new opportunities for the professionalization of educators. In this exploratory case study, we report on a transnational professional development program, focused in Germany and the United States (yet welcoming educators around the world) as a virtual Community of Practice. Using a design-based research process, the program aimed to create opportunities for dialogue about media literacy education and contemporary propaganda. Using mixed methods data collected through surveys and observations, research results show that participants were motivated primarily by the perceived value and usefulness of the program. Many participants were able to collaborate effectively with a peer, developing an original project focused on media literacy education in their own teaching contexts.

  We present the gamified AR learning environment ARES. During the gameplay, learners guide the little dragon called “Ares” through dungeons. Using AR, ARES three-dimensionally integrates the dungeons in the real-world. Each dungeon represents a coordinate system with obstacles that ultimately create mathematical exercises, e.g. rotating a door to let the dragon fly through it. Overcoming such a challenge requires a learner to spatially analyze the exercise and apply the fundamental mathematical principles. ARES displays a debriefing screen at the end of a dungeon to further support the learning process. In a preliminary qualitative user study, pre-service and in-service teachers saw great potential in ARES for providing further practical and motivating exercises to deepen the knowledge in the classroom and at home.

  Creating pedagogically sound, interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experiences supporting situated and experiential learning remains a challenge to teachers without programming skills. To integrate AR in the everyday classroom, teachers need to be capable of designing their own immersive experiences for their students, which is why an analysis of existing authoring toolkits is necessary to identify suitable tools for educational application development and future research directions in terms of educational AR. We identified “easy access”, “GUI-based design”, and “interactive contents” as needs of teachers for designing AR content for the classroom. Based on these needs, we conducted a literature review of 835 documents. Of 80 relevant articles, we included 43 peer-reviewed articles from ACM Digital Library, DBLP, IEEExplore, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and miscellaneous other sources in our analysis. We identified 69 different AR authoring toolkits and classified these with regard to their accessibility, their degree of required programming knowledge, and their interactivity. The results show a divergent research landscape with a lack of empirical evaluation. Of 26 openly accessible toolkits, we identified five toolkits addressing the defined needs of teachers for designing interactive AR experiences for the classroom without requiring extensive programming knowledge. We conclude that there are only few tools for the straightforward design of educational AR experiences addressing the needs of teachers and suggest using research-informed and evidence-based criteria for developing AR authoring toolkits for education.

  Digital media are important elements in the didactic planning and design of provisions and programmes in adult and continuing education. Based on questionnaire and interview data from organizations and umbrella organizations active in adult and continuing education in Germany, the article examines how adult educators use digital media and what reasons they give for using them. The article distinguishes between types of digital media, digital tools, and didactically structured digital media offerings. The analysis shows that educators use digital media in settings combining micro- and macrodidactics. Overall, didactic considerations are shifting more to the macrodidactic planning level, emphasizing the role of organizations and umbrella organizations. This is accompanied by changing demands on cooperation between planning staff and instructors. Moreover, the roles of staff expand and diversify with the use of digital media.

  In health care, there are still many devices with poorly designed user interfaces that can lead to user errors. Especially in acute care, an error can lead to critical conditions in patients. Previous research has shown that the use of augmented reality can help to better monitor the condition of patients and better detect unforeseen events. The system created in this work is intended to aid in the detection of changes in patient and equipment-data in order to increase detection of critical conditions or errors.

  The combination of globalization and digitalization emphasizes the importance of media-related and intercultural competencies of teacher educators and pre-service teachers. This article reports on the initial prototypical implementation of a pedagogical concept to foster such competencies of pre-service teachers. The proposed pedagogical concept utilizes a social VR framework since related work on the characteristics of VR indicate that this medium is particularly well suited for intercultural professional development processes. The development is integrated into a larger design-based-research approach that develops a theory-guided and empirically grounded professional development concept for teacher educators with a special focus on TETC 8. TETC provide a suitable competence framework capable of aligning both requirements for media-related as well as intercultural competencies. In an exploratory study with student teachers we designed...

  21-century challenges demand a change towards collaborative and constructive seminar designs in initial teacher education regarding preservice teachers acquiring meta-conceptual awareness (TPACK) about how to implement emerging technologies in their future profession. Against this background the paper addresses the following research questions: 1) How should a pedagogical concept for remote initial teacher education be designed to promote metacognitive learning processes of preservice teachers? 2) How do preservice teachers perceive these learning processes in video-based communication and social VR? Regarding the pedagogical concept, peer group supervision and an action-and development-oriented approach using Zoom and social VR were identified as relevant for an instructional design that provides collaborative and constructive learning processes for students. In this exploratory study, 17 students participated in two iterative cycles of peer group supervision performing design tasks in groups. A content analysis of reflective video statements and qualitative group interviews was carried out using a qualitative research design. Results indicate the successful implementation of peer group supervision. Regarding media's implementation, Zoom's screen-sharing option and breakout session benefitted the consultation process as well as social VR's "realistic" experience of creating a "sense of community".

  Computer games are highly immersive, engaging, and motivating learning environments. By providing a tutorial at the start of a new game, players learn the basics of the game’s underlying principles as well as practice how to successfully play the game. During the actual gameplay, players repetitively apply this knowledge, thus improving it due to repeti- tion. Computer games also challenge players with a constant stream of new challenges which increase in difficulty over time. As a result, com- puter games even require players to transfer their knowledge to master these new challenges. A computer game consists of several game me- chanics. Game mechanics are the rules of a computer game and encode the game’s underlying principles. They create the virtual environments, generate a game’s challenges and allow players to interact with the game. Game mechanics also can encode real world knowledge. This knowledge may be acquired by players via gameplay. However, the actual process of knowledge encoding and knowledge learning using game mechanics has not been thoroughly defined, yet. This thesis therefore proposes a the- oretical model to define the knowledge learning using game mechanics: the Gamified Knowledge Encoding. The model is applied to design a seri- ous game for affine transformations, i.e., GEtiT, and to predict the learning outcome of playing a computer game that encodes orbital mechanics in its game mechanics, i.e., Kerbal Space Program. To assess the effects of different visualization technologies on the overall learning outcome, GEtiT visualizes the gameplay in desktop-3D and immersive virtual reality. The model’s applicability for effective game design as well as GEtiT’s overall design are evaluated in a usability study. The learning outcome of play- ing GEtiT and Kerbal Space Program is assessed in four additional user studies. The studies’ results validate the use of the Gamified Knowledge Encoding for the purpose of developing effective serious games and to predict the learning outcome of existing serious games. GEtiT and Ker- bal Space Program yield a similar training effect but a higher motivation to tackle the assignments in comparison to a traditional learning method. In conclusion, this thesis expands the understanding of using game me- chanics for an effective learning of knowledge. The presented results are of high importance for researches, educators, and developers as they also provide guidelines for the development of effective serious games.

  The successful development and classroom integration of Virtual (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) learning environments requires competencies and content knowledge with respect to media didactics and the respective technologies. The paper discusses a pedagogical concept specifically aiming at the interdisciplinary education of pre-service teachers in collaboration with human-computer interaction students. The students’ overarching goal is the interdisciplinary realization and integration of VR/AR learning environments in teaching and learning concepts. To assist this approach, we developed a specific tutorial guiding the developmental process. We evaluate and validate the effectiveness of the overall pedagogical concept by analyzing the change in attitudes regarding 1) the use of VR/AR for educational purposes and in competencies and content knowledge regarding 2) media didactics and 3) technology. Our results indicate a significant improvement in the knowledge of media didactics and technology. We further report on four STEM learning environments that have been developed during the seminar.

However, concerning its use to promote pre-service teachers' TPACK in initial teacher education, there remains a research desideratum. In this context, this exploratory study addressed the following research question: How did pre-service teachers' TPACK develop using a social VR learning environment prototype in comparison to a video conferencing platform throughout a semester? Following a design-based research approach, an action-oriented pedagogical concept for teaching and learning in social VR was designed and implemented for initial teacher education at a German university with a convenience sample of 14 participants. The lesson plans were collected and analyzed with the help of Epistemic Network Analysis (Shaffer...

  The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) in teaching concepts allows for the visualization of complex learning contents and can simultaneously enhance the learning motivation. By providing Tangible Augmented Reality (TAR), an AR learning environment receives a haptic aspect and allows for a direct manipulation of augmented learning materials. However, manipulating tangible objects while using handheld AR might reduce the intuitive use and hence user experience. Users need to simultaneously control the application and manipulate the tangible object. Therefore, we compare the differences in intuitive use and user experience evoked by varied technologies of knowledge presentation in an educational context. In particular, we compare a TAR learning environment targeting the learning of the anatomy of vertebrates to its smartphone-only and AR-only versions. The three versions of the learning environment only differ in their method of knowledge presentation. The three versions show a similar perceived intuitive use. The TAR version, however, yielded a significantly higher attractiveness and stimulation than AR-only and smartphone-only. This suggests a positive effect of TAR learning environments on the overall learning experience.

  Both research and policy indicate the importance of considering ICT-related and intercultural competence development in education together. Teacher educators play a significant role in the development of these related competencies. The aim of this study is to analyze ICT-related competence frameworks addressing teacher educators, focusing on how they incorporate intercultural considerations. We analyze four internationally recognized models—Teacher Educator Technology Competencies (TETCs), DigCompEdu, Jisc Digital Capabilities, and Media Didactica—showing that with the TETCs important steps have been taken to integrate both discourses, while the other frameworks treat aspects related to culture as isolated phenomena. In TETC 8, the global dimension is represented by a specific competency, which is also differentiated into specific areas of competence. This offers a strong starting point for further international discourse...

In this study, we exposed participants to brand placements in four conditions of varying degrees of immersion and visual angle on the stimulus. Placements appeared either as poster or as puzzle. We measured the recall and recognition of these placements. Our study revealed that neither immersion nor the visual angle had a significant impact on memory for brand placements.

  Recent research indicates an impairment in decision-making in im- mersive Virtual Reality (VR) when completing the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). There is a high potential for emotions to explain the IGT decision-making behavior. The design of a virtual environment (VE) can influence a user’s mood and hence potentially the decision- making. In a novel user study, we measure decision-making using three virtual versions of the IGT. The versions differ with regard to the degree of immersion and design of the VE. Our results re- vealed no significant impact of the VE on the IGT and hence on decision-making.

  Impaired decision-making leads to the inability to distinguish between advantageous and disadvantageous choices. The impairment of a person’s decision-making is a common goal of gambling games. Given the recent trend of gambling using immersive Virtual Reality it is crucial to investigate the effects of both immersion and the virtual environment (VE) on decision-making. In a novel user study, we measured decision-making using three virtual versions of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). The versions differed with regard to the degree of immersion and design of the virtual environment. While emotions affect decision-making, we further measured the positive and negative affect of participants. A higher visual angle on a stimulus leads to an increased emotional response. Thus, we kept the visual angle on the Iowa Gambling Task the same between our conditions. Our results revealed no significant impact of immersion or the VE on the IGT. We further found no significant difference between the conditions with regard to positive and negative affect. This suggests that neither the medium used nor the design of the VE causes an impairment of decision-making. However, in combination with a recent study, we provide first evidence that a higher visual angle on the IGT leads to an effect of impairment.

  With 21st century challenges ahead, higher education teaching and learning need new pedagogical concepts. Technologies like social VR enable student-centered, action-oriented, and situated learning. This paper presents findings of the pedagogical implementation of a distributed social VR prototype, a fully immersive VR learning environment, into an Initial Teacher Education program in Germany. The exploratory study addressed the following research questions: 1) How do preservice teachers perceive teaching and learning activities in fully immersive VR and 2) how should teaching and learning processes using social VR in Teacher Education be designed? It followed a design-based research approach. The pedagogical concept for teaching and learning in social VR was based on principles of action-orientation. A convenience sample of three groups of five students each took part in a 90-minute teaching and learning scenario using a fully immersive VR learning environment. During these seminar units, students engaged in qualitative group interviews and shared their perception of the action-oriented teaching and learning activities in VR. The results showed that preservice teachers had the feeling of being less distracted in social VR. Additionally, during group activities, missing social and behavioral cues made communication procedures more challenging for participants. However, some participants noticed a stronger sense of community while collaborating with others.

  Learning environments targeting Augmented Reality (AR) visualize complex facts, can increase a learner’s motivation, and allow for the application of learning contents. When using tangible user inter- faces, the learning process receives a physical aspect improving the overall intuitive use. We present a tangible AR system targeting the learning of a frog’s anatomy. The learning environment is based on a plushfrog containing removable markers. Detecting the markers, replaces them with 3D models of the organs. By extracting indi- vidual organs, learners can inspect them up close and learn more about their functions. Our AR frog further includes a quiz for a self-assessment of the learning progress and a gamification system to raise the overall motivation.

  ARETE (Augmented Reality Interactive Educational System) is a European project, which aims to develop an interactive toolkit for Augmented Reality (AR) content. In this work in progress paper, we describe the system which is currently being developed. The ARETE system follows human-centered interaction design practices and has a strong focus in interactive, multi-user and multi-lingual technologies. On completion, the system will be evaluated across three pilot studies. The three pilots will involve more than 3000 students across ten European countries and they will assess the impact of usage of the ARETE system and the educational value of AR for English literacy skills, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills and in the implementation of Positive Behaviour Support in Schools (PBIS). ARETE will also be involved in the implementation of new standards for the creation of cross platform content and services as well as the creation of learning experience data repositories.

  Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly being explored as an alternative medium for gambling games to attract players. Typically, gambling games try to impair a player’s decision making, usually for the disadvantage of the players’ financial outcome. An impaired decision making results in the inability to differentiate between ad- vantageous and disadvantageous options. We investigated if and how immersion impacts decision making using a VR-based realization of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) to pinpoint potential risks and ef- fects of gambling in VR. During the IGT, subjects are challenged to draw cards from four different decks of which two are advantageous. The selections made serve as a measure of a participant’s decision making during the task. In a novel user study, we compared the effects of immersion on decision making between a low-immersive desktop-3D-based IGT realization and a high immersive VR version. Our results revealed significantly more disadvantageous decisions when playing the immersive VR version. This indicates an impair- ing effect of immersion on simulated real life decision making and provides empirical evidence for a high risk potential of gambling games targeting immersive VR.

  The usage of VR in higher education is not uncommon anymore. However, concepts are mainly still focusing on technical rather than pedagogical aspects of VR in the classroom. The exploration of the expectations of teacher educators as well as of preservice teachers appears indispensable (1) to achieve a sound understanding of requirements, (2) to identify potential design spaces, and finally (3) to create and to derive suitable pedagogical approaches for VR in initial teacher education. This paper presents results of guideline-based qualitative interviews comparing the expectations of teacher educators and of preservice teachers regarding teaching and learning in immersive virtual learning environments. The results showed that preservice teachers and teacher educators expect VR to enrich classes through interactive engagement in situations that would otherwise be too costly or dangerous. Regarding the design, teacher educators put the emphasis on functionality. Student teachers emphasized that they do not want to miss social interactions with their peers. Furthermore, both groups stated preferred modes of collaboration and interaction taking into account the characteristics of a virtual learning surrounding such as being able to use diverse learning spaces for group work. Interviewees agreed on two vital factors for effective learning and teaching processes: flexibility and the possibility of customization considering technical properties that are to deal with. Apart from this, preservice teachers emphasized strongly their worries about data usage and the ethics regarding using avatars and agents for representation.

  Much research has been conducted regarding media-related competences and literacy in teacher education, yet the target group of teacher educators and university teachers has only recently been addressed. The aim of our paper is to offer a basis for informed ICT-related framework choices for researchers, to identify important achievements during the last decade and to reveal needs for further research. After a systematic review of existing frameworks, the three internationally recognised models TETCs, DigCompEdu and Jisc’s Digital Capabilities were chosen and systematically analysed and compared against a set of criteria covering both theoretical and empirical aspects. Although a plethora of criteria addressing formal, empirical and pedagogical aspects were used, all models offered information on every criterion. However, assessing digital literacy/competence remains a challenging task, with the frameworks’ instruments measuring self-efficacy instead of literacy and competence.

  Augmented Reality (AR) und Virtual Reality (VR) finden zunehmend Eingang in die Bildungspraxis. Mit ihrem Einsatz sind sowohl Potentiale als auch mögliche Problemlagen für Lehr- und Lernprozesse verbunden. Daher ist es Aufgabe der Lehrerbildung, (angehenden) Lehrpersonen einen Kompetenzerwerb für die Einbindung von AR und VR in Lehr- und Lernprozesse zu ermöglichen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde ein interdisziplinäres Konzept für die Hochschullehre entwickelt und hinsichtlich der Zielerreichung empirisch evaluiert. Im Beitrag werden zunächst bedeutsame Gestaltungsaspekte des Konzepts sowie erste Befunde aus einer Pilotuntersuchung vorgestellt. Im Anschluss werden handlungspraktische Erfahrungen der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit reflektiert und diskutiert.

  Affine Transformations (ATs) are a complex and abstract learning content. Encoding the AT knowledge in Game Mechanics (GMs) achieves a repetitive knowledge application and audiovisual demonstration. Playing a serious game providing these GMs leads to motivating and effective knowledge learning. Using immersive Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to even further increase the serious game’s learning outcome and learning quality. This paper compares the effectiveness and efficiency of desktop-3D and VR in respect to the achieved learning outcome. Also, the present study analyzes the effectiveness of an enhanced audiovisual knowledge encoding and the provision of a debriefing system. The results validate the effectiveness of the knowledge encoding in GMs to achieve knowledge learning. The study also indicates that VR is beneficial for the overall learning quality and that an enhanced audiovisual encoding has only a limited effect on the learning outcome.

  Affine Transformations (ATs) often escape an intuitive approach due to their high complexity. Therefore, we developed GEtiT that directly encodes ATs in its game mechanics and scales the knowledge's level of abstraction. This results in an intuitive application as well as audiovisual presentation of ATs and hence in a knowledge learning. We also developed a specific Virtual Reality (VR) version to explore the effects of immersive VR on the learning outcomes. This paper presents our approach of directly encoding abstract knowledge in game mechanics, the conceptual design of GEtiT and its technical implementation. Both versions are compared in regard to their usability in a user study. The results show that both GEtiT versions induce a high degree of flow and elicit a good intuitive use. They validate the effectiveness of the design and the resulting knowledge application requirements. Participants favored GEtiT VR thus showing a potentially higher learning quality when using VR.

  Game mechanics encode a computer game’s underlying principles as their internal rules. These game rules consist of information relevant to a specific learning content in the case of a serious game. This paper describes an approach to predict the learning effect of computer games by analyzing the structure of the provided game mechanics. In particular, we utilize the Gamified Knowledge Encoding model to predict the learning effects of playing the computer game Kerbal Space Program (KSP). We tested the correctness of the prediction in a user study evaluating the learning effects of playing KSP. Participants achieved a significant increase in knowledge about orbital mechanics during their first gameplay hours. In the second phase of the study, we assessed KSP’s applicability as an educational tool and compared it to a traditional learning method in respect to the learning outcome. The results indicate a highly motivating and effective knowledge learning. Also, participants used KSP to validate complex theoretical spaceflight concepts.

  Slot machines are one of the most played games by pathological gamblers. New technologies, e.g. immersive Virtual Reality (VR), offer more possibilities to exploit erroneous beliefs in the context of gambling. However, the risk potential of VR-based gambling has not been researched, yet. A higher immersion might increase harmful aspects, thus making VR realizations more dangerous. Measuring harm-inducing factors reveals the risk potential of virtual gambling. In a user study, we analyze a slot machine realized as a desktop 3D and as an immersive VR version. Both versions are compared in respect to effects on dissociation, urge to gamble, dark flow, and illusion of control. Our study shows significantly higher values of dissociation, dark flow, and urge to gamble in the VR version. Presence significantly correlates with all measured harm-inducing factors. We demonstrate that VR-based gambling has a higher risk potential. This creates the importance of regulating VR-based gam- bling.

  With the rise of so-called fake news as a global phenomenon, interest in propaganda analysis has advanced along with the recognition of the fundamentally social process of interpretation. In this essay, we explore the use of cross-national dialogue among German and American undergraduate students who are seeking to better understand how media messages are interpreted and how they inform and guide the civic actions of citizens. We describe and analyze five lessons that used a virtual exchange comprised of a variety of digital media platforms, texts, and technologies to support the cross-national study of contemporary propaganda. We observed that cross-national dialogue enables students to gain sensitivity to the role of cultural context in interpreting propaganda. Rather than conceptualize propaganda education as an ideologically benign set of context-free skills, pedagogies that include opportunities for cross-national dialogue foreground the importance of cultural specificity as a means to unpack the complex discursive context of propaganda as digital political communication.

  Several transition techniques (TTs) exist for Virtual Reality (VR) that allow users to travel to a new target location in the vicinity of their current position. To overcome a greater distance or even move to a different Virtual Environment (VE) other TTs are required that allow for an immediate, quick, and believable change of location. Such TTs are especially relevant for VR user studies and storytelling in VR, yet their effect on the experienced presence, illusion of virtual body ownership (IVBO), and naturalness as well as their efficiency is largely unexplored. In this paper we thus identify and compare three metaphors for transitioning between VEs with respect to those qualities: an in-VR head-mounted display metaphor, a turn around metaphor, and a simulated blink metaphor. Surprisingly, the results show that the tested metaphors did not affect the experienced presence and IVBO. This is especially important for researchers and game designers who want to build more natural VEs.

  The Gamified Training Environment for Affine Transformation (GEtiT) was developed as a demonstrator for the Gamified Knowledge Encoding model (GKE). The GKE is a novel framework that defines knowledge training using game mechanics (GMs). It describes the process of directly encoding learning contents in GMs to allow for an engaging and effective transfer-oriented knowledge training. Overall, GEtiT is developed to facilitate the training process of the complex and abstract Affine Transformation (AT) knowledge. The complexity of the AT makes it hard to demonstrate this learning content thus learners frequently experience issues when trying to develop an understanding for its application. During the gameplay, the application of the AT’s mathematical grounded aspects is required and information about the underlying principles are provided. In this article, a short overview over GEtiT’s structure and the knowledge encoding process is given. Also, this article presents the results of a study measuring the training effectivity and motivational aspects of GEtiT. The results indicate a training outcome similar to a traditional paper-based training method but a higher motivation of the GEtiT players. Hence, GEtiT yields a higher learning quality.

  This paper demonstrates the integration and evaluation of different atmosphere models into Virtual Reality (VR) training for teacher education. We developed three behaviour models to simulate dif- ferent levels of class discipline. We evaluated their performances using a combination of objective and subjective measurements. Our initial results suggest that the more believable and distinguishable classroom atmospheres are produced by creating more consistent be- haviours across virtual students. Our results confirm the importance of similar behaviours to elicit a particular atmosphere.

  Numerous Studies and new applications like Google Expeditions or Anatomy 4D point to a great potential of Augmented and Virtual Reality for its use for educational purposes. 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.

  This article presents an immersive virtual reality (VR) system for training classroom management skills, with a specific focus on learning to manage disruptive student behavior in face-to-face, one-to-many teaching scenarios. The core of the system is a real-time 3D virtual simulation of a classroom populated by twenty-four semi-autonomous virtual students. The system has been designed as a companion tool for classroom management seminars in a syllabus for primary and secondary school teachers. This will allow lecturers to link theory with practice using the medium of VR. The system is therefore designed for two users: a trainee teacher and an instructor supervising the training session. The teacher is immersed in a real-time 3D simulation of a classroom by means of a head-mounted display and headphone. The instructor operates a graphical desktop console, which renders a view of the class and the teacher whose avatar movements are captured by a marker less tracking system. This console includes a 2D graphics menu with convenient behavior and feedback control mechanisms to provide human-guided training sessions. The system is built using low-cost consumer hardware and software. Its architecture and technical design are described in detail. A first evaluation confirms its conformance to critical usability requirements (i.e., safety and comfort, believability, simplicity, acceptability, extensibility, affordability, and mobility). Our initial results are promising and constitute the necessary first step toward a possible investigation of the efficiency and effectiveness of such a system in terms of learning outcomes and experience.

  This article presents a fully immersive portable low-cost Virtual Reality system to train classroom management skills. An instructor controls the simulation of a virtual classroom populated with 24 semi-autonomous virtual agents via a desktop-based graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI provides behavior control and trainee evaluation widgets alongside a non-immersive view of the class and the trainee. The trainee's interface uses an Head-Mounted Display (HMD) and earphones for output. A depth camera and the HMD's built-in motion sensors are used for tracking the trainee and for avatar animation. An initial evaluation of both interfaces confirms the system's usefulness, specifically its capability to successfully simulate critical aspects of classroom management.

  Media literacy has been widely debated in Turkey since the early 2000s and has been in the curriculum of the secondary schools as an optional subject for nearly a decade. During this time period, about four million students have received media literacy education. The multidisciplinary structure of media literacy has contributed to the interest of many researchers from varying fields. These researchers, who have different viewpoints, acceptations and expectations, have formed certain groups in a short time period and have started to defend their particular media literacy approaches and practices. This study examines the basic debates and issues that have emerged in Turkey’s short but active movement to educate in the area of media literacy. Issues include the question of which teachers (trained in education or communication) should teach the media literacy classes, the role of the government media regulatory agency in media literacy, and the debates on protective and empowerment approaches. In addition, the debates on educational censorship, textbooks, and media literacy have been integrated in the educational system under which models have been focused. Because of the focus on asking who is responsible for media literacy in Turkey, there has been less attention to issues of pedagogy, instructional strategies and curriculum resources. The blame is not completely on the government ministries as academic in-fighting also fuels debates about the future of media literacy in Turkey. Such territorial debates about the locus of media literacy may limit the growth of the field.

  Online pranking videos are common online and popular among middle-school students, teens and young adults. When we examined 200 YouTube examples of the Scary Maze Game prank, we explored the relationship between perpetrator, victim and witness, finding that while American children under age 12 were commonly featured as victims in Scary Maze Game prank videos, only rarely were German children represented as victims. U.S. videos also lingered on the pain of prank victims, even looping the emotional response of the victim to create an instant replay effect and using post-production techniques, including editing, music and title credits. As an expression of the schadenfreude that people experience when both enacting and viewing bad pranks, online pranking is a dimension of the dark side of participatory culture.

  Fragen, wie Medien in sinnvoller Weise für das Lernen und Lehren genutzt werden können und welche Erziehungs- und Bildungsaufgaben sich aus der umfangreichen Mediennutzung ergeben, werden in den USA und in Kanada aus theoretischer und praktischer Perspektive bearbeitet. Ausgehend von einer Skizze wichtiger ökonomischer und rechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen sowie vorhandener medienpädagogischer Ausbildungs- und Berufsfelder werden in systematischer Sicht mit einzelnen historischen Bezügen fünf unterschiedlich akzentuierte Grundpositionen der Medienpädagogik beschrieben: "media literacy" als "media management" bzw. "health literacy", "media literacy" als "visual literacy", "media literacy" als "empowerment", "media literacy" als "critical literacy" und "media literacy" als "new media literacies". Auf dieser Basis werden aktuelle Entwicklungen bezüglich der Implementierung von Medienpädagogik in Curricula und hinsichtlich des Engagements von Fachgruppen umrissen und Herausforderungen für zukünftige Entwicklungen identifiziert.

  Argumentative writing is described as a sort of writing by which the writer suggests his opinions on a particular topic and proposes necessary data for argument. The writer gives reasons to refute counter arguments and reach a conclusion. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of teaching argumentative writing on teacher candidates' argumentative writing skills. The study was designed regarding single group pretest-posttest model and is a weak experimental study. The participant group consists of 63 undergraduate students who study at Abant Izzet Baysal University, Faculty of Education. For the study, participants were provided a 6 week argumentative writing education. Data were collected with argumentative writing rubric developed by the researcher. As a result of the study, it was found out that teaching of argumentative writing has positively influenced teacher candidates' argumentative writing skills. Following the argumentative writing education, it was seen that participants got higher scores in both argumentative writing basic and secondary elements. This was found as statistically significant.

  Media literacy is generally defined as the ability to access media texts, analyse and evaluate those texts and create one’s own media. In this research, the effects of participating or not participating in a media literacy instruction (MLI) and two different approaches of media literacy instruction on the attitudes of teacher candidates towards the internet and self-efficacy perception related to computers were investigated. A total of 158 teacher candidates studying in the department of elementary education participated in this study. This research was conducted by using quasi-experimental design with a post-test only control group. The results indicated that the attitudes scores of the group, who participated in media literacy instruction, towards Internet were higher than who did not. Secondly the research has revealed that the perception of the self-efficacy oriented to computer does not differentiate between teacher candidates who participated in MLI or who did not. Moreover participants receiving education in line with media analyzing approach were observed to differentiate both with respect to attitude and self-efficacy perceptions from those who do not receive media literacy instructions.

  Trotz einzelner Bemühungen verlaufen die pädagogischen Diskussionen um «media literacy» und «media (literacy) education» sowie um Medienkompetenz und Medienbildung im deutschen Sprachraum und in den USA weitgehend unabhängig voneinander. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im Beitrag zunächst beschrieben, welche methodischen Herausforderungen eine international vergleichende Betrachtung beinhaltet. Anschliessend werden zentrale Begriffe im Kontext der pädagogischen Diskussion des Lernens mit und über Medien in den USA identifiziert und fünf Bereiche innerhalb der Debatte unterschieden. Der Beitrag schliesst mit einer vergleichenden Betrachtung von Gebieten bzw. Teilgebieten und Konzeptionen des Lernens mit und über Medien im deutschen Sprachraum und in den USA sowie der Begriffe Medienkompetenz und «media literacy».

  Lehr- und Lernprozesse lassen sich durch verschiedene konstitutive Faktoren beschreiben, etwa die damit verbundenen Zielvorstellungen, die Zielgruppe und deren Lernvoraussetzungen, die Lehrhandlungen und Lernaktivitäten, die Lernwirkungen, die Inhalte und Sozialformen und die Medien (vgl. Tulodziecki / Herzig / Blömeke 2009: 133 ff.). Dass auch die Medien als konstitutiver Bestandteil von Lehr-Lernprozessen gelten, ist in der Didaktik wenig strittig. Dabei wird normativ impliziert, dass der Einsatz von Medien möglichst zu einer Verbesserung von Lernprozessen beitragen soll, häufig gemessen am kognitiven Lernerfolg. Wie solche Medien zu gestalten und zu verwenden sind, um pädagogische gerechtfertigte Zielvorstellungen zu erreichen, ist die Grundfrage der Mediendidaktik als wissenschaftlicher Disziplin (vgl. Tulodziecki / Herzig 2004; Tulodziecki / Herzig / Grafe 2010). Aufgabe der empirischen Lehr- Lernforschung und der Unterrichtsforschung ist es, die Lernwirksamkeit bestimmter didaktischer Maßnahmen – insbesondere auch der Verwendung von Medien – zu prüfen. Während traditionelle Medien – z.B. Schulbücher – seit langer Zeit in hermeneutischer oder inhaltsanalytischer Weise untersucht werden (vgl. zur Übersicht Olechowski 1995), richtet sich der Fokus bei den so genannten neuen, d.h. digitalen Medien weniger auf inhaltsanalytische Aspekte, sondern insbesondere auf deren generelle Wirksamkeit. Dies hängt vermutlich nicht zuletzt damit zusammen, dass die Investitionsmittel für digitale Medien vergleichsweise hoch angesehen werden und die zur Nutzung solcher Medien erforderlichen Kompetenzen noch nicht als selbstverständlich vorausgesetzt werden können.

  Digitale Medien als pädagogisches Aufgabenfeld stellen inzwischen einen etablierten und anerkannten Bestandteil mediendidaktischer und medienerzieherischer Diskurse im Kontext von Schule dar. Die grundsätzliche Forderung nach einer schulischen Form der Auseinandersetzung mit und über Medien ist – wenngleich die Vorstellungen darüber inhaltlich durchaus divergent sind – inzwischen unstrittig. In der deutschsprachigen Diskussion ist dabei eine Zentrierung um den Begriff der Medienkompetenz (als Zielkategorie im Hinblick auf Schülerinnen und Schüler) und um den Begriff der medienpädagogischen Kompetenz (im Hinblick auf die Lehrpersonen) zu konstatieren. Teilweise in synonymer, teilweise auch in begrifflich differenzierter Weise werden medienerzieherische, mediendidaktische und medienpädagogische Argumentationslinien skizziert, in jüngerer Zeit ergänzt durch Überlegungen zur Medienbildung.

  In vielen bildungspolitischen Verlautbarungen, in Lehrplänen und in der öffentlichen Diskussion wird die Entwicklung und Förderung von Medienkompetenz als bedeutsames Ziel formuliert. Bei häufig anzutreffender Einigkeit im Hinblick auf das grundsätzliche Ziel, stellen sich die Frage nach dem Verständnis von Medienkompetenz und die schulische Umsetzung von Fördermaßnahmen jedoch weit weniger einheitlich dar. Im vorliegenden Beitrag nehmen wir diese Fragen in konzeptioneller und in praxisbezogener Weise auf. Anhand von Daten aus dem Forschungsprojekt „MeiLe – Medienbezogene Lernumfelder von Kindern und Jugendlichen“ (2008-2010, gefördert vom BMBF und ESF) skizzieren wir zunächst Kompetenzverständnisse von Lehrpersonen und erweitern diese anschließend im Sinne eines umfassenden Medienkompetenzmodells. Anhand eines konkreten Falls wird anschließend exemplarisch aufgezeigt, wie im Projekt erhobene Daten zusammengeführt und für Hinweise zur medienbezogenen Unterrichtsentwicklung genutzt werden können. Der Beitrag schließt mit einem Vorschlag für Medieneinsatz im Unterricht, der auf dem dargestellten Kompetenzmodell basiert.

  Die zentrale Frage dieses Bandes lautet, wie es gelingt im Unterricht Problemlösefähigkeit unter Verwendung von Computersimulationen zu fördern bzw. weiterzuentwickeln. Diese Frage wird vor dem Hintergrund des gegenwärtigen Standes der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion in theoretischer, konzeptioneller, unterrichtspraktischer und empirischer Sicht bearbeitet. Mit der Frage der Problemlösefähigkeit und ihrer Förderung in der Schule nimmt die Autorin eine wichtige didaktische Problemstellung auf. Unter Bezugnahme auf Lehrpläne bzw. gesellschaftliche Anforderungen wird die Bedeutsamkeit dieser Problemstellung und der entsprechenden Aufgaben für Schule und Unterricht herausgearbeitet und damit die Ausgangslage charakterisiert. Es folgen theoretische und empirische Grundlagen zum Problemlöseprozess und zum Lernen mit Computersimulationen sowie zur didaktischen Struktur entsprechender Unterrichtseinheiten. Die theoretischen Überlegungen münden in den Entwurf eines geeigneten Unterrichtskonzeptes und dessen empirische Evaluation mit einer mehrperspektivischen Diskussion der Ergebnisse.

  Hypertext is digitized, linear or nonlinear interactive texts, where readers have the options of chosing their own reading paths. As the Ministry of National Education put emphasis on introducing internet technologies into classrooms, especially with the information technology classroom project, elemantary school students will be exposed to more and more hypertext enviroments, which offer media- rich reading enviroments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the fifth and sixth graders’ hypertextual reading process. A total of 45 fifth and sixth grade elementary school students participated in this study. A pre-test, post- test quasi experimental research design was applied. Data were collected through three instrurements, which are hypertext dissorientation scale, remembrance test, and reading-time logs. The results indicated that students percieved themselves as undecided about their dissorientation and no significant gender differences were observed. Secondly, the more time they spend on hypertext reading, the more they remembered and the less they felt dissoriented. Moreover, no gender difference was observed in their reading times.
