Project Abstract

Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool for enhancing science education in high schools by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. This research explores the potential benefits and challenges associated with integrating VR technology into science education, focusing on its impact on student engagement, learning outcomes, and overall educational experience. The study investigates the effectiveness of VR technology in teaching complex scientific concepts, promoting student motivation, and fostering critical thinking skills. The research methodology involves a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative research techniques. A sample of high school students and teachers will be selected to participate in the study, with data collected through surveys, interviews, and observation of classroom activities. The research will also involve the development and implementation of VR-based science lessons to assess student engagement, knowledge retention, and overall learning experience. The literature review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on the use of VR technology in education, highlighting key findings, trends, and best practices. The review examines the impact of VR technology on student learning outcomes, teacher pedagogy, and the overall effectiveness of science education in high schools. Key themes include the potential benefits of VR technology in promoting experiential learning, enhancing student motivation, and improving knowledge retention. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of VR technology in science education. The results will provide insights into the effectiveness of VR-based learning experiences, the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating VR technology into the classroom, and the implications for future research and practice. The study aims to inform educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers on the potential benefits of utilizing VR technology to enhance science education in high schools. In conclusion, the research on the use of VR technology in enhancing science education in high schools holds great promise for transforming traditional teaching methods and improving student learning outcomes. By providing immersive and interactive learning experiences, VR technology has the potential to engage students, enhance understanding of complex scientific concepts, and prepare them for future careers in STEM fields. This research aims to advance our understanding of the benefits and challenges of integrating VR technology into science education, and to provide practical recommendations for educators and policymakers seeking to leverage this innovative technology for improving student learning experiences.
