Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the utilization of virtual reality (VR) technology to enhance science learning in secondary schools. The integration of VR tools in educational settings has gained attention for its potential to transform traditional teaching methods and engage students in immersive learning experiences. The study aims to explore the impact of VR on science education by examining its effectiveness in improving student understanding, motivation, and overall learning outcomes. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, outlining the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review on ten key areas related to VR technology in education, highlighting existing research, trends, and theoretical frameworks. In Chapter Three, the research methodology is detailed, covering the research design, participant selection, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. The chapter includes discussions on ethical considerations, validity, and reliability of the study. Chapter Four presents the findings of the research, analyzing the impact of VR on science learning based on student performance, engagement levels, and feedback. The discussion in Chapter Four delves into the implications of the findings, comparing them with existing literature and offering insights into the potential benefits and challenges of implementing VR in science education. The conclusion in Chapter Five summarizes the key findings, discusses the implications for practice, and suggests recommendations for future research in this area. Overall, this thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge on the use of VR technology in education, particularly focusing on its application in science learning at the secondary school level. The study provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to leverage innovative technologies to enhance student learning experiences and outcomes in science education.
