How Elementary Students Experience the Use of Immersive Technology
Sandoval-Henríquez, Francisco Javier; Badilla-Quintana, María Graciela
International Journal of Learning Technology, v17 n2 p115-132 2022
The integration of immersive technology is one of the main trends in education. The purpose of this study is to understand how elementary school students experience the use of immersive technology, considering three properties: interactivity, presence, and flow. A natural science pedagogical intervention that incorporated the use of virtual reality and augmented reality was elaborated. 231 students from four schools in Concepción, Chile, participated. After the intervention, an instrument was applied to learn about the immersive experience. Findings indicate a high degree of agreement with the instrument's statements, which allows us to determine favourable levels of interactivity, presence, and flow, as well as the significant and positive association of these technological properties. Guidelines are proposed to maximise the capacity of immersive technologies in learning environments.
