Abstract: We examined effects of supplemental learning activities performed in different environments among novice chemistry learners (N = 211). Results contradict previous research, showing better learning when the activity was presented in the real world (MD = 1.196) compared to virtual reality (MD = .512) or a control (MD = -.040).
