Enhancing Conceptual Understanding of Electricity and Magnetism through VR Simulations
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The study explores the efficacy of Virtual Reality (VR) simulations in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of electricity and magnetism, using the Labster platform. Traditional teaching methods often need to adequately convey the complexities of these topics, leading to limited student engagement and poor comprehension. The research compares two groups: one receiving traditional instruction and another using VR-based simulations. The study found that students in the experimental group, who used VR simulations, showed a 35% improvement in post-test scores, compared to a 15% improvement in the control group. The VR group also reported higher levels of engagement and found abstract concepts such as electric fields and circuits easier to understand through interactive, immersive learning environments. Teachers noted that VR aided in visualizing difficult concepts, although challenges included a learning curve in technology usage and the need for proper integration into curriculum. The findings suggest that VR, when used as a supplemental tool, has the potential to significantly improve learning outcomes in physics education. However, the study highlights the need for further research into long-term impacts and accessibility issues and strategies to better integrate VR into traditional teaching methods.
