Thesis Overview

The project titled "Development of a Virtual Reality Training Module for Technical Education" aims to revolutionize the field of technical education by integrating virtual reality technology into training modules. Virtual reality offers immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance learning outcomes and provide students with hands-on practice in a safe and controlled environment. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to explore the current state of virtual reality technology in education, particularly in technical fields. This review will cover topics such as the benefits of virtual reality for learning, existing virtual reality training modules in technical education, and best practices for designing effective virtual reality learning experiences. The methodology chapter will outline the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques employed in the study. The research will involve developing a prototype virtual reality training module for a specific technical subject, such as automotive repair or electrical engineering. Data will be collected through user testing and surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of the virtual reality module in improving student learning outcomes. The discussion of findings chapter will present the results of the study, including insights into the impact of the virtual reality training module on student engagement, knowledge retention, and skill development. The chapter will also discuss any challenges encountered during the development and implementation of the virtual reality module and propose recommendations for future research in this area. In conclusion, the project will summarize the key findings of the study and discuss the implications of integrating virtual reality technology into technical education. The research aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of virtual reality in education and provide valuable insights for educators and instructional designers seeking to enhance technical training through immersive and interactive learning experiences.
