04-001-US The Future of Learning (Part 1)

Scientific studies There are many scientific studies investigating the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in education. Here are three well-known studies that examine the e ff ectiveness and potential applications of VR and AR in a learning context: E ff ectiveness of virtual reality-based instruction on students' learning outcomes in K-12 and higher education. In the study "E ff ectiveness of virtual reality-based instruction on students' learning outcomes in K-12 and higher education" by Merchant et al. (2014), a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the e ff ectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as an instructional tool in di ff erent educational contexts. The meta-analysis combined and analyzed the results of 69 empirical studies that examined the use of VR in comparison to traditional teaching methods. The study authors used several criteria to evaluate the e ff ectiveness of VR, such as academic performance, cognitive outcomes, and learner motivation. The results showed that VR-based instruction was generally more e ff ective than traditional learning methods and led to improved learning outcomes. It was also found that VR based learning environments can increase learner motivation. ____________________ Merchant, Z., Goetz, E. T., Cifuentes, L., Keeney-Kennicutt, W., & Davis, T. J. (2014).

A systematic review of virtual reality in education In "A systematic review of virtual reality in education" by Kavanagh et al. (2017), a systematic review was conducted to examine the current state of research on the use of virtual reality (VR) in education. The authors analyzed 57 selected studies that examined VR in various educational contexts to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact, e ff ectiveness, and challenges of VR in education.
