“…The finding that PowerPoint instruction was more effective than HoloLens instruction for teaching the human muscular system was contrary to our hypothesis, and to previous studies that suggested MR technology could enhance learning outcomes in various domains [28,29]. One possible explanation for this result is that the HoloLens device imposed a higher cognitive load on learners than the PowerPoint presentation, as they had to process more information and interact with more features in the MR environment.…”

“…For example, Odame and Tümler [28] found that using off-the-shelf VR software (namely Sharecare YOU VR) to teach the anatomy of the human heart was more effective and satisfying than a conventional teaching method. Similarly, Banjar et al [29] reviewed 12 experimental studies of the use of mixed reality in higher education, and found that most focused on 3D manipulation, visualization, and understanding of 3D object layers and components, especially in the medical and health sciences. The use of VR/AR/MR also presents opportunities and some challenges for instructional design, including the fact these technologies may impose different cognitive demands and preferences on learners and instructors.…”

“Immersive technology” is a broad and evolving term that encompasses various kinds of technologies and viewpoints, and has applications in various fields, such as education, healthcare, entertainment, the arts, and engineering. This research paper aims to compare the effectiveness of two teaching methods, namely the conventional method (using PowerPoint slides), and the immersive technology method (initiating a mixed reality with a HoloLens 2 device). The experiment involved two groups of students, aged between 19 and 52 years-of-age, who received different types of instruction: the first group viewed a PowerPoint slide with an image of the human muscular system, and the second group viewed a 3D hologram of the human body that displayed the same muscle groups as in the PowerPoint slide. The researchers wanted to examine if mixed reality devices could improve students’ cognitive abilities and explore if the age of the participants had any impact on the effectiveness of the instruction method. The main findings of this study are that the instruction method that used mixed reality technology, the Microsoft HoloLens 2 device, was more suitable for younger participants, and that traditional instruction methods, such as PowerPoint slides, are more appropriate for older students. While this research provides some valuable insights into the factors that influence student performance in anatomy tests, it has some limitations that should be considered.

“…The advantage of the CIPP Evaluation Model is to provide a comprehensive evaluation format for understanding activities from the emergence of ideas or concepts to the results achieved (Muhadjir & Nugroho, 2011). With its comprehensive and systematic nature, this evaluation model is widely used for research due to its effectiveness and achievement of evaluated objects (Hakan & Seval, 2011); (Yang et al, 2024); (Banjar et al, 2023).…”

This study aims to assess the achievements and impacts of the program regarding the appointment of contract teachers at the junior high school (SMP) level in Tambrauw Regency, Southwest Papua Province. This research used an evaluation method with the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) Evaluation Model developed by Stufflebeam. Respondents consist of representatives from the Department of Education, School Principals, and Teachers. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, and document studies. The collected data are then analyzed qualitatively and presented verbally. The utilization of triangulation and qualitative analysis methods in this study enhances the credibility of the data and the validity of the resulting findings. The analysis results indicate that: Firstly, in terms of context, the implementation of this program still aligns with the existing needs. Secondly, in terms of input, the program can proceed due to the availability of adequate financial support and resources. Thirdly, during the implementation process, external interventions influence the achievement of program objectives. Lastly, in terms of product, this program successfully achieves its predetermined goals and positively impacts the improvement of educational quality. In conclusion, the program regarding the appointment of contract teachers in junior high schools in Tambrauw Regency has a significant impact on enhancing the quality of education. This assessment is crucial for refining and optimizing existing programs. This study provides a valuable contribution to the program evaluation literature, particularly in the context of education in remote areas.

“…MR technology, with its immersive and interactive capabilities, stands as an educational innovation [24,25], offering a stark contrast to the passive learning modes associated with traditional tools like PowerPoint presentations [26,27]. The integration of MR in education promises a more dynamic and engaging learning environment, where students can interact with complex concepts in a three-dimensional space, fostering deeper understanding and retention [9,11].…”

The term immersive technology refers to various types of technologies and perspectives that are constantly changing and developing. It can be used for different purposes and domains such as: education, healthcare, entertainment, arts, and engineering. This research paper aims to examine which training method is more effective between the traditional approach, using PowerPoint and the immersive technology approach, through mixed reality using a HoloLens 2 device. The experiment involves comparing two groups of students who received different training methods: the first group saw a PowerPoint slide with an image of the human muscular system, while the second group saw a 3D hologram of the human body that showed the same muscle groups as in PowerPoint. The researchers wanted to test whether mixed reality devices could enhance students' cognitive functions and to investigate if the IQ of the participants had any influence in the effectiveness of the teaching method. The main finding of this study is that the instructions given with mixed reality technology, via the Microsoft HoloLens 2 device, are more appropriate for participants who have an IQ score below 100 points. For the other participants, with an IQ score above 100 points, the PowerPoint support was more suitable.
