Interactive Learning Environments, v32 n5 p1751-1762 2024
In the era of multimedia digital education, virtual reality (VR) technologies have become extremely popular teaching tools. The research compares the learning outcomes of the VR students group using the VR4EDU virtual reality application with the learning outcomes of the control students group taking the traditional online music lessons. The sample consisted of 96 students from a Shandong Management University in China. The research is based on a quasi-experimental design. The scholars identified the statistically significant improvements in learning music supported by VR in the following areas: for Exercise 1, improvements were from M:30% to M:45%; for Exercise 2, improvements were from M:32% to M:54%; and for Exercise 3 improvements were from M:57% to M:83%. The research highlights technical features of the VR environment in music education that may help developers and designers to develop effective curricula for students. The spatial design reveals the potential of spatial learning, but further research is still required to analyze the role and advantages of spatial learning in detail. The present research underlines that more complex structures can be developed to teach students different aspects of musical genres.
