Affordances of Augmented Reality in Science Learning: Suggestions for Future Research (2012, background): “Similarly, a recent review also reported that computer simulations which can visualize invisible phenomena and provide opportunities of manipulating experimental variables have positive learning effects (Rutten et al. 2011).”
Handbook of Research on Learning and Instruction (2011, background): “Collectively, the impact of perceived competence on persistence, a precursor of improvement in performance, can be significant.”
A structural equation modeling investigation of the emotional value of immersive virtual reality in education (2018, result): “…investigating the efﬁciency of simulations have shown that overall, the use of simulations results in at least as good or better cognitive outcomes and attitudes toward learning than do more traditional teaching methods (Bayraktar 2000; Rutten et al. 2012; Smetana and Bell 2012; Vogel et al. 2006).”
