Trends, Themes, and Conceptual Networks of Immersive Technologies in Quantum Science Education: A Bibliometric Analysis

2026-05-30T13:53:16+00:00

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on immersive technologies in quantum-related education, based on 32 Scopus-indexed publications published between 2017 and 2025. The dataset was obtained through a structured search and screened using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on empirical studies implementing immersive technologies (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality, and extended reality) in quantum-related learning contexts. The analysis was conducted using Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny, applying techniques such as publication trend analysis, country productivity mapping, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic analysis. The results show a steady increase in the number of scientific publications, with the United States, Indonesia, and China emerging as major contributors. Keyword co-occurrence analysis and thematic mapping identified virtual reality and augmented reality as dominant themes, reflecting their central role in supporting visualization and learning processes. Trend analysis also indicates increasing attention to virtual laboratories and modern physics contexts. However, given the relatively small size of the dataset, these findings should be interpreted with caution and viewed as early indications of a developing research domain, rather than as definitive trends. Overall, this study highlights the growing importance of immersive technologies in addressing representation challenges in quantum science education and identifies opportunities for deeper conceptual integration, methodological diversification, and interdisciplinary collaboration in future research.

Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL): How Does It Affect Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers?

2026-05-30T13:53:16+00:00

The rapid advancement of ICT has fundamentally reshaped the educational landscape, creating a critical need for educators to be proficient in technology integration. This study investigates the influence of Technology-Enhanced Learning on the professional development of pre-service mathematics teachers, focusing on its impact on their teaching competencies and overall readiness. This research employs a systematic literature review, adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Twenty-six relevant articles published between 2017 and 2025 were identified from six academic databases for in-depth analysis. The findings were categorised into cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The results reveal that TEL significantly enhances PMTs' cognitive abilities, such as conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and reasoning skills, while also improving motivation, self-efficacy, and confidence in the affective domain. In the psychomotor domain, it develops essential technical competencies, creativity, and readiness for technology-based teaching. In conclusion, integrating TEL is pivotal for modern teacher education programs. It not only equips future mathematics teachers with the necessary 21st-century skills but also fosters a positive disposition towards technology in the classroom. Future research should conduct empirical studies to explore the pedagogical potential of emerging technologies for strengthening digital literacy, creativity, and pedagogical innovation among pre-service mathematics teachers.

The Effectiveness of STEM Inquiry-Based E-Book on Temperature and Heat to Improve Senior High School Students’ Scientific Literacy

2026-05-30T13:53:16+00:00

Education in Indonesia faces low student abilities in scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is essential for students to understand, evaluate, and use knowledge so they can use scientific concepts in learning and daily life. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of STEM inquiry-based e-books on temperature and heat in improving high school students' scientific literacy skills. This study uses a quasi-experimental research design and cluster random sampling technique. Data analysis used statistical tests using the SPSS application. Prerequisite tests were carried out in stages, namely normality tests and homogeneity tests. Effectiveness tests include the N-gain test, Manova test, and Effect Size. The results of this study indicate that the use of STEM inquiry-based e-books on temperature and heat is better in improving students' scientific literacy skills. The effectiveness of STEM inquiry-based e-books on temperature and heat is obtained based on the difference in average pretest-posttest scores and the increase in pretest-posttest scores in each class. The experimental class that used STEM inquiry-based e-book learning products on temperature and heat material experienced higher improvement compared to the control class 1 that used regular e-books without inquiry models and the control class 2 that used printed school books.
