“…Similarly, in education, MUVEs have been used for a variety of disciplines such as pre-service teacher training (Bull, Bull, & Kajder, 2004;Bronack, Riedl, & Tashner, 2005;Schlager, Fusco, & Schank, 2002), science-based activities (Kafai, 2006), biology instruction (Mikropoulos, Katsikis, Nikolou, & Tsakalis, 2003), and engaging in scientific inquiry (Clarke, Dede, Ketelhut, & Nelson, 2006). For example, using the MUVE of River City, approximately 2000 middle-school students took part in a study aimed to investigate novel pedagogies for helping teachers infuse inquiry into a science curriculum.…”
