Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on enhancing art education in schools. The integration of VR technology in educational settings has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods and provide immersive learning experiences. The study aims to explore how VR technology can be effectively utilized to enhance art education, improve student engagement, and foster creativity in the classroom. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on VR technology, art education, and the intersection of both fields. The literature review provides insight into the current state of VR technology in educational settings and highlights the benefits and challenges associated with its implementation in art education. Following the literature review, the research methodology section outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques employed in the study. A mixed-methods approach is utilized to gather data from students, teachers, and educational experts to gain a holistic understanding of the impact of VR technology on art education. The findings of the study reveal the positive effects of integrating VR technology into art education curricula. Students demonstrate increased engagement, motivation, and creativity when exposed to immersive VR art experiences. Teachers also report improvements in student learning outcomes and express enthusiasm for incorporating VR technology into their teaching practices. The discussion of findings delves into the implications of the study results for art education practitioners, policymakers, and technology developers. Recommendations are provided for integrating VR technology effectively into art education programs and addressing potential challenges associated with its implementation. In conclusion, this thesis emphasizes the transformative potential of VR technology in enhancing art education in schools. By providing immersive and interactive learning experiences, VR technology can inspire creativity, enhance student engagement, and broaden the horizons of art education. The study contributes to the growing body of research on the integration of technology in education and offers valuable insights for educators seeking to leverage VR technology to enrich art education practices in schools.
