The need to develop virtual reality learning environments (VRLEs) grounded in theory motivated this work that in turn provides guidelines to support chemistry VRLEs with evidence-based practices and frameworks. Herein, we describe nine frameworks that turned out to be critical for the design of a chemistry focused VRLE, paying special attention to the frameworks’ interconnectivity. Different framework components were crucial in different aspects of the content design, technology design, and content–technology integration, and throughout this article, we illustrate the application of each framework. As the main objective was to build a resource to support visual-spatial attributes, a shape recognition framework was developed to facilitate students’ abilities to recognize 3D characteristics from 2D representations inherent in VRLEs. The interconnected frameworks’ components complement and reinforce each other, creating a synergistic effect to support visuospatial thinking and representational competence in a VRLE. This process helped shape a set of recommendations aimed to guide other developers to produce pedagogically sound VRLEs.

“…Educational learning theory refers to a framework that explains how people acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The goal is to understand the learning process and the various factors that influence it (Matovu et al, 2023). There are various learning theories, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanism.…”

The use of Virtual Reality in education can revolutionize the learning experience of students through immersive and captivating encounters that can enhance their understanding of the subject can provide a meaningful and enjoyable Virtual Reality experience. Where the research objective is to examine the latest trends in Virtual Reality for meaningful and enjoyable science learning: Systematic Literature Review. The review was conducted based on state-of-the-art methods using the preferred reporting items for reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The results of this research explain that there are Learning Trends in the Future, namely: Collaboration, Learning Inspiration from a Young Age, Rapidly Growing Online Learning, Using Virtual Reality for Learning, Learning with AI Technology; Uses of Virtual Reality in science learning: Use of Virtual Reality as a learning medium, Use of Virtual Reality as a competency testing medium, Learning & competency testing in the Film Industry; The essence of science learning: Science as a way of thinking, Science as a way of inquiry, Science as a building of knowledge, Science as a form of interaction between technology and society.

Adoption of immersive-virtual reality as an intrinsically motivating learning tool in parasitology

Veterinary parasitology is study of parasitic diseases, treatment and prevention. It is a major component of animal health courses due to impacts parasites have on production and companion animals. Extant tertiary education in parasitology typically involves theory sessions coupled with practical experience. In this study we propose tertiary parasitology teaching would be enhanced through adoption of immersive Virtual Reality (I-VR) as an intrinsically motivating learning tool to complement their studies. To evaluate this adoption, a custom I-VR parasitology game was developed that tertiary veterinary science students experienced (n = 109), with feedback assessed using the Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM). HMSAM proved appropriate for measuring student’s hedonistic and utilitarian perspectives of I-VR experience with perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, joy, ability to control, immersion levels and intention to use displaying significant positive relationships in derived model. However, in a departure from similar studies, the curiosity construct was not a useful predictor of intention to use in this context of a scaffolded, instructional application. This study highlights suitability of I-VR and provides a statistically robust evaluation method using a modified HMSAM to evaluate acceptance, usefulness, and ease of use of I-VR in tertiary education.
