Session Type: Poster Session
This session explores how emerging technologies, from virtual reality and multimedia tools to AI-driven feedback systems and neurocognitive measures, are reshaping science learning across early childhood, K–12, and higher education. These posters investigate how technology innovations influence student engagement, anxiety, identity, and performance; how teachers use digital tools to connect learners’ lived experiences to disciplinary science; and how technology can foster equity across contexts, including rural and underserved settings. Collectively, these studies illustrate the promise and complexity of technology-enhanced science education, offering empirical insights and design implications for more connected, culturally sustaining, and adaptive learning environments that bridge classrooms, communities, and the digital world to imagine more just and engaging futures for science learning.
