Results from this pilot conducted with 198 primary student-teachers demonstrate that engagement with VR lessons positively influences PSTs’ attitudes towards VR, encouraging them to integrate this technology into their teacher practice across diverse subjects (Rodolico & Hirsu, 2023).

Although VR headsets are not new in the education context, we have a long road ahead to fully embed VR into learners’ experiences and future skillsets. As we have uncovered in a recent paper, XRed: Preparing for immersive education, more research, preparation and stakeholder engagement are needed to fully take advantage of the educational power of these uganda consumer email list technologies. If VR is to make a long-lasting impact on education and other fields, it depends on how best we understand, explore and implement VR technologies. Otherwise, it risks being another technological trend that will come to pass, a ‘smoke’ that will dissipate in the wider landscape of new digital technologies.
This blog post builds on the authors’ paper, Virtual reality (VR) in education: The impact of a short VR-supported intervention on pre-service teachers’ VR technological and pedagogical content knowledge, which received the award for the best EdTech paper presented at the BERA conference 2023.
