Exploring The Effectiveness of Immersive Mobile Learning in Enhancing Stem Subjects

Abstract

This study employed a qualitative case study design to explore participants' perspectives on learning STEM subjects through immersive mobile technologies. IML provides learners with immersive experiences and ubiquitous access to educational content using portable devices. The data was collected through focus groups, observations, reflection journals, and interviews in four sessions where students learned physics and chemistry via IML. Findings revealed that IML significantly enhanced student engagement and the motivation to learn STEM and career application, making STEM subjects more concrete and authentic. Participants emphasized the importance of engagement and motivation in STEM learning. This indicates that IML is practical and successful in tackling the challenges of STEM education.
