Abstract

This presentation will synthesis research on thousands of children using two immersive virtual environments (IVEs) for learning and assessment to make claims about the role of IVEs in shedding light on and impacting the relationship between self-efficacy and learning. Our findings indicate that self-efficacy does impact student actions and achievement, and that participation in IVEs in turn positively impacts both perceived self-efficacy and actions associated with high levels of self-efficacy.
