Thesis Abstract
Abstract
This thesis investigates the implementation of virtual reality (VR) technology within the context of technical education. Virtual reality has the potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. The study focuses on exploring how VR can be effectively integrated into technical education settings to enhance student engagement, knowledge retention, and practical skills development. The research methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews and classroom observations. The study involved students and instructors in a technical education program where VR technology was implemented as a supplementary learning tool. The findings from the study revealed that the use of VR in technical education positively impacted student learning outcomes. Students reported higher levels of engagement and motivation when using VR simulations compared to traditional instructional methods. Instructors also noted improvements in student performance and retention of technical concepts. The thesis discusses the implications of these findings for the future of technical education and provides recommendations for integrating VR technology into curriculum design and pedagogical practices. By leveraging the advantages of VR technology, educators can create more dynamic and interactive learning environments that better prepare students for careers in technical fields. Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on the application of VR in education and provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in enhancing technical education through innovative technologies.
