Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on agricultural education through a case study conducted within farmer training programs. The integration of VR technology in education has gained significant attention in recent years, offering immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance learning outcomes. In the context of agricultural education, VR presents unique opportunities to engage learners in practical, hands-on experiences that may not be feasible in traditional classroom settings. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on VR technology in education, highlighting its potential benefits and challenges. The methodology chapter outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques employed in this study. Data was collected through interviews, surveys, and observation of farmer training programs that incorporated VR technology. Findings from the study reveal the various ways in which VR technology can enhance agricultural education, including increased engagement, improved knowledge retention, and enhanced skills development. The discussion chapter explores the implications of these findings for agricultural education stakeholders, such as educators, policymakers, and technology developers. The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the study and offers recommendations for future research and practice in the field of agricultural education. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of VR technology in education and provides valuable insights into its potential impact on farmer training programs.
