Abstract
This thesis explores the impact of virtual reality (VR) technology on art education in secondary schools. The integration of VR technology in education has gained increasing attention in recent years, offering new possibilities for immersive and interactive learning experiences. The study investigates how the use of VR technology can enhance art education curriculum delivery and student engagement in secondary schools. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research establishes the theoretical foundations and current practices related to VR technology in art education. The methodology chapter outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analysis procedures employed to investigate the impact of VR technology on art education in secondary schools. The study investigates the perceptions and experiences of art educators and students regarding the use of VR technology in the classroom. Data collection methods include surveys, interviews, and observations to gather insights into the effectiveness of VR technology in enhancing art education outcomes. The findings reveal the positive impact of VR technology on art education in secondary schools, with benefits including increased student engagement, creativity, and understanding of artistic concepts. Educators reported improvements in student motivation and learning outcomes when using VR technology in art lessons. Students expressed enthusiasm for the immersive and interactive nature of VR experiences, which enhanced their understanding of art history, techniques, and creative expression. The discussion chapter critically analyzes the findings in relation to existing literature, highlighting the implications for art education practice and curriculum development. The study identifies key factors influencing the successful implementation of VR technology in art education, including teacher training, resource availability, and curriculum integration. Recommendations are provided for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers to enhance the integration of VR technology in art education in secondary schools. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates the potential of VR technology to transform art education in secondary schools, offering new opportunities for creative expression, artistic exploration, and immersive learning experiences. The findings contribute to the growing body of research on technology-enhanced learning in the arts and provide valuable insights for educators seeking to leverage VR technology to enhance art education outcomes.
