Thesis Abstract

**Abstract
** Virtual Reality (VR) technology has emerged as a powerful tool with the potential to revolutionize various fields, including education. This thesis explores the application of VR technology in enhancing agricultural science education. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of utilizing VR technology to improve learning outcomes, engagement, and practical skills acquisition in agricultural science education. The research begins with an introduction to the background of the study, highlighting the increasing importance of incorporating innovative technologies in education. The problem statement identifies the limitations of traditional agricultural science education methods and the potential benefits of integrating VR technology. The objectives of the study focus on evaluating the impact of VR technology on student learning and performance in agricultural science. A comprehensive literature review in Chapter Two examines existing studies on the use of VR technology in education and agriculture. The review covers topics such as the advantages of VR technology, its applications in education, and the potential challenges and limitations. The literature review provides a theoretical foundation for the study and highlights gaps in current research that this thesis aims to address. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from student assessments and surveys with qualitative insights from interviews and observations. The methodology section details the selection criteria for participants, data collection procedures, and ethical considerations. In Chapter Four, the findings of the study are presented and discussed in detail. The results indicate the impact of VR technology on student engagement, learning outcomes, and practical skills development in agricultural science education. The discussion explores the implications of these findings for educators, policymakers, and future research in the field. Finally, Chapter Five provides a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications, and recommendations. The study underscores the significance of integrating VR technology in agricultural science education to enhance student learning experiences and prepare them for future careers in the agricultural sector. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of literature on the application of VR technology in education, specifically in the context of agricultural science. By exploring the potential benefits and challenges of utilizing VR technology, this study offers valuable insights for educators and researchers seeking to enhance agricultural science education through innovative technological solutions.
