Hello, I'm Sibel Kaçar
I am a researcher and practitioner working in educational technology and learning experience design.
My work focuses on bridging technology and pedagogy; combining design and technology to make learning more effective, accessible, and meaningful.
I specifically work on educational games, learning analytics, and explainable AI (XAI). I investigate how new technologies like VR and AR can be used in education and seek to understand whether these technologies truly add value to learning processes.
Areas of Interest
Current Focus
I am currently developing immersive simulation prototypes that combine:
- ◆Real-time behavioral data tracking
- ◆Adaptive scenario complexity modeling
- ◆Contextual transfer (home-to-school learning transfer in disaster training)
- ◆AI-supported Socratic scaffolding
"The goal is to design intelligent learning environments that dynamically adjust instructional depth based on student state, hesitation patterns, and decision paths."
Research Philosophy
I believe immersive systems should not just simulate reality, but also model cognition within reality. My work aims to transform XR from a visualization tool into a structured pedagogical instrument capable of measurable knowledge tracing and explainable adaptation.
