Title Learning eco-friendly behavior using extended reality
Description Climate-related changes of the ecosystems of Earth are a threat. Such climate-related environmental changes are understood to be driven by greenhouse gas emissions linked to human action. Hence, the ecosystems of Earth may be preserved by people behaving in a manner that keeps their carbon footprint as low as possible. The motivation for such eco-friendly behavior may be established in people by asking them to accomplish learning tasks that are anchored in daily life. Extended reality (XR) technology may serve such situated learning particularly well, as using XR learners are inside the life situations within which XR is anchoring their learning. This proseminar is, therefore, about the current cognitive and behavioral research on how XR (i.e. virtual, mixed and augmented reality) can serve to foster the learning of eco-friendly behavior and attitudes such that it is transferred to daily life. We will look at this research both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. Hence, it will be possible, on the one hand, to read and present current scientific papers on the use of XR for learning eco-friendly behavior. On the other, hand it will be possible to test XR applications for learning eco-friendly behavior and to conceive procedures for their scientific and practical use.
