“…To measure learning effectiveness objectively, Koong, Yang, Wu, Li, and Tseng (2014), in a study of how learning strategies could affect the effectiveness of learning a software application, used student assessment grades. In another study on the effectiveness of presentation software in supporting English learning, Kuo, Yu, and Hsiao (2015) used test scores as one of the surrogate measures.…”

Learning management systems (LMSs) may provide learners with resources in various formats, such as videos, quizzes, and forum discussions to support their learning, but having access to an LMS does not necessarily mean that learning has occurred effectively. Despite its apparent usefulness, whether the use of the LMS can indeed help learners learn more effectively remains an interesting matter for course providers, LMS vendors, and learners. Therefore, this study adopted the updated DeLone and McLean information system success model to examine whether LMS system quality, information quality, and service quality affect learners’ system use and user satisfaction, and ultimately their learning effectiveness. Through a questionnaire survey, responses collected from 123 university students who studied in a blended learning environment at a university were analyzed. Findings showed that system quality and service quality, but not information quality, had a significant relationship with system use. In turn, system use had a significant relationship with learning effectiveness.

“…The reflective theory that provides the integration of thinking and action is an approach that is searched deeply by researchers (Colomer, Pallisera, Fullana, Burriel & Fernandez, 2013). It is also described as a process of reaching new values by combining past experiences, actions and theories (Koong, Yang, Wu, Li & Tseng, 2014). While John Dewey emphasized the significance of reflective learning in 1933, Schön underlined the importance of how reflective applications could be carried out in 1983 (Ryan & Ryan, 2012).…”

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the efficiency of scenario based learning and reflective learning approaches in teacher education. The impact of applications of scenario based learning and reflective learning on prospective teachers' academic achievement and views regarding application and professional self-competence perceptions are also searched. This research is both qualitative and quantitative oriented and is conducted with two different groups: one is scenario based learning group and the other one is reflective learning group. Besides, the research is carried out with 62 prospective teachers who take-Teaching Practice‖ course. The group of reflective learning is composed of 30 prospective teachers whereas the scenario based learning group is composed of 32 prospective teachers. The applications which are lasted 12 weeks are supported with one of the educational social networks called edmodo. The findings of the research revealed that the scenario based learning is more effective than reflective learning in terms of prospective teachers' academic achievement. However, there is no significant difference found in the professional self-competence perceptions of both scenario based learning group and reflective learning group.

“…Reflective thinking, which is an approach that has been profoundly studied by researchers [24] enables the integration of theory and application, thought and practice and is defined as a process of reaching new values by the combination of past experiences, practices and theories [25]. Similarly, another researcher [26] explains reflection in education as students concentrating on a subject and the conscious analysis of it.…”

Abstract-This study aims to determine the benefits and limitations of AR applications in computer hardware education, when used as a supplementary technology, as well as examining their impact on reflective thinking skills. The study was designed according to pre-test post-test research model with experimental and control groups. The teacher candidates studied the 3D visuals both in and out of the classroom by scanning the markers in their books. In addition, they watched educational animations and videos on required subjects. As a result, in this study where Augmented Reality applications assisted with reflective learning skills were implemented in a computer hardware course, teacher candidates generally reported positive views and suggestions regarding AR applications.Keywords-Augmented reality, reflective learning, hardware course, teacher candidates IntroductionAlthough traditional teaching methods have produced many successful outcomes, nowadays educational institutions are in search of methods which will improve students' intellectual capacities and their learning experiences [1]. Nincarean, Alia, Halim, & Rahman [2] state that even though existing methods work, there is an increasing interest among both educators and researchers to examine more practical methods, particularly since the proliferation of technology and its integration into education gained significance. The manifestation of digital technology has resulted in an escalation in the use of e-learning in higher education. Mayer [3], a supporter of the multimedia theory, states that presenting texts together with visuals enables students to form both verbal and cognitive models and also a connection between the two. Emerging tools, social media and virtual environments are providing both students and educators with the opportunity to create new learning environments [4]. The current developments in technology have had a positive impact on the interaction of media content and the quality of learning platforms; thus, there has been an immense increase in the usage of e-learning tools. In fact, technology has become integrated into education and the results have a positive impact on the teaching-learning process [5]. Moreover, previous studies show that technology-assisted learning creates a more iJET
