Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The integration of virtual reality (VR) technology in vocational education has gained significant attention in recent years as a means to enhance technical training and skill development. This thesis explores the implementation of VR for interactive technical training in vocational education settings, with a focus on its potential to revolutionize the learning experience for students. The study investigates how VR can be effectively utilized to simulate real-world technical scenarios, provide hands-on training opportunities, and engage students in immersive learning experiences. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of key terms. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review covering ten key aspects related to the use of VR in technical education, including its impact on learning outcomes, student engagement, skill acquisition, and retention. Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. The chapter also discusses the selection criteria for VR tools and platforms used in the study and the process of designing and implementing interactive technical training modules. Chapter 4 presents a detailed discussion of the findings from the study, highlighting the effectiveness of VR in enhancing technical training in vocational education. The chapter examines student perceptions of VR-based training, the impact on skill development, and the potential challenges and limitations associated with the implementation of VR technology in vocational settings. Chapter 5 concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing the implications for vocational education practice, and suggesting recommendations for further research and implementation of VR in technical training. The study emphasizes the importance of leveraging VR technology to create innovative and engaging learning experiences that prepare students for the demands of the modern workforce. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on the use of VR in vocational education and highlights the potential of interactive VR training modules to enhance technical skills development and improve learning outcomes for students. By embracing VR technology in vocational education, institutions can provide students with a dynamic and immersive learning environment that prepares them for successful careers in technical fields.
