Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, v7 n2 p243-253 2024
The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies into education holds immense promise. Virtual Reality has the potential of providing an immersive and interactive learning experience, thus allowing students to engage with educational content in a more meaningful way. As it can be customized and developed for different purposes, VR can be integrated into almost all the school subjects. However, it is marked by its unique set of obstacles or challenges such as high prices of the devices, lack of software, limited usability, lack of competence of teachers etc. This study is mainly centered on the research interest of understanding how teachers apply VR technologies in their educational practices. The study delves into the experiences of teachers who participated in a survey. The survey was administered between September 2023 and November 2023, to 103 teachers from diverse educational backgrounds. The results were analyzed by using SPSS and MAXQDA software. Through their responses, the key findings that shed light on the integration, benefits, and challenges of VR technologies in education are provided in the current study.
