The Effect of an Experiential Learning Theory-based Immersive Virtual Reality Learning Environment on Students' Learning Performance

• In Event: DELT- Virtual Reality (v)

Short Description

Based on the experiential learning theory, by integrating the immersive virtual reality (IVR) into a STEAM course to offer experiential learning activities, we conducted a quasi-experimental study in a middle school in Shanghai, China. Results indicated that the IVR-based instructional strategy had a positive impact on both knowledge retention and higher-order competence development for the participants. Students in the experimental group also reported a better learning experience perceived than the students from the control group.
