“…Without a doubt, many teachers fear that technologies like GPT Chat could replace them in the future (Alam, 2021;Chan, 2023;Chan and Tsi, 2023). The future of education around the world will be greatly impacted by this type of technology (Renz and Hilbig, 2020;Ji et al, 2023;Mäkitalo et al, 2023).…”

This study investigates the perceptions of K-12 science teachers regarding the implications of ChatGPT on school assessments and the quality of students’ education. A questionnaire was administered to K-12 science teachers from public and private schools across the five regions of Brazil: North, Northeast, South, Southeast, and Midwest. More than 400 teachers responded to the questionnaire. The conclusions regarding the opinions of the teachers who responded to the questionnaire were based on the Likert-type scale. The investigation covered various aspects, including the types and frequency of assessment methods used with their students. Additionally, the research delved into their opinions on whether ChatGPT would impact the quality of education and assessment methods, as well as their views on whether ChatGPT use should be deemed plagiarism or a similar infraction. The potential benefits of its use, as well as the challenges arising from it, are discussed in the context of the evolution of teaching and learning. As one of the results, it was found that among K-12 science teachers, there remains some skepticism regarding whether ChatGPT will enhance the quality of students’ education and whether its use constitutes plagiarism or a similar infraction.

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising technology with diverse applications across various domains, including education. In the realm of physical education (PE), VR presents an innovative approach to enhance learning experiences, offering immersive environments and interactive simulations. This study provides a comprehensive review of existing literature to explore the integration of VR in PE, focusing on its efficacy, challenges, and potential outcomes. A systematic search of academic databases, including ProQuest/Web of Science, EBSCO, DOAJ, and Gale databases, was conducted to identify relevant studies published between Jan. 2016 and Feb. 2024. Keywords such as "virtual reality" and “physical education” were used to filter the literature. Studies involving diverse research designs, including experimental trials, case studies, and qualitative analyses, were included in the review. The review revealed a growing amount of literature exploring the integration of VR in PE, highlighting its potential to enhance engagement, motivation, and skill acquisition among students. Studies reported positive outcomes in various systems around the world. VR-based interventions demonstrated effectiveness in improving performance, knowledge retention, and adherence to exercise regimens. Moreover, immersive simulations enabled experiential learning, providing students with realistic scenarios. However, challenges such as equipment cost, technical limitations, and user discomfort were noted as barriers to widespread adoption. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding the potential isolation of students and the need for adequate supervision in VR environments. In conclusion, the integration of VR technology in PE shows promise as a valuable tool to enrich teaching and learning experiences. With continued advancements in technology and pedagogy, VR has the potential to revolutionize PE education, providing students with immersive and interactive learning environments conducive to holistic development.

Purpose The concept of virtual exercise is still a nascent domain for therapeutic intervention. In light of the importance of exercise and the fast development of digital technologies, virtual exercise possesses a promising potential for future development. Sailing is a recreational exercise that has helped the rehabilitation of patients with neurological and physiological disorders and improved their quality of life. However, challenges exist in implementing physical sailing as an intervention, due to the cost and the extent of uncertainty of this sport. While studies remain limited, over the past twenty years, simulated sailing that combines virtual reality with complex motor learning and optimum decision-making is emerging as a potential digital exercise that possesses broad therapeutic applications for future exploration. This review aims to have a more complete understanding of the clinical application of virtual sailing as an emerging exercise therapy. Methods Literature searches were performed using PubMed, EMBASE and MEDLINE bibliographic databases for research articles published from January 1994 to January 2024 (inclusive). We performed a Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis to evaluate the implementation of virtual sailing as a new therapeutic intervention, opening unanswered questions for future investigation. Results Out of 205 articles searched from databases, 31 advanced to full-text screening and 7 articles were eligible for inclusion in this narrative review. This review summarises the application and therapeutic efficacy of virtual sailing in improving both motor and psychosocial functions. We also shared our perspectives on developing virtual sailing as an exercise therapy for treating neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on pre-clinical and clinical evidence as well as the proposed mechanism by which virtual sailing could influence neural plasticity in the central nervous system. Conclusion Virtual sailing is a promising exercise therapy feasible for future implementation, although large-scale trial studies involving a diverse range of clinical conditions are required.
