Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) technology has gained significant attention in recent years, offering immersive and interactive experiences that have the potential to transform traditional educational practices. This thesis investigates the integration of Virtual Reality Technology in Technical Education Curriculum to enhance learning outcomes and engagement among students. The study explores the background and rationale for incorporating VR technology in technical education, identifies the existing problems in current educational practices, and sets out clear objectives to address these issues. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review to examine the benefits and challenges of VR integration, as well as an empirical study to assess the impact on student learning and engagement. 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 definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key areas related to VR technology in education, including its impact on student engagement, learning outcomes, and practical applications in technical education. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. Chapter Four presents a thorough discussion of the research findings, analyzing the data collected from students and educators to evaluate the effectiveness of VR technology in technical education. The chapter also discusses the implications of the findings for educational practices and provides recommendations for future research and implementation strategies. Finally, Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, contributions to the field, and implications for practice. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on the integration of Virtual Reality Technology in Technical Education Curriculum, offering insights into the potential benefits and challenges of using VR technology to enhance student learning experiences. By exploring the impact of VR technology on technical education, this study aims to inform educators, policymakers, and stakeholders about the opportunities and considerations associated with incorporating immersive technologies into the curriculum.
