“…Educators are eager to provide students with engaging ways to learn, and VR provides a medium to explore virtual scenarios and make meaning through virtual experiences (Castaneda et al, 2017). Research from a variety of fields has demonstrated the value of virtual simulations for learning information and skills as a result of immersion (Chen et al, 2020;Chernikova et al, 2020;Harman et al, 2017;Kaplan et al, 2021;Krokos et al, 2019;Pantelidis, 2010). Immersive VR enables students to physically engage with new concepts and environments (Bailenson, 2018;Hu-Au & Lee, 2017;Lau & Lee, 2015;Prensky, 2013;Regian et al, 1992;Roussou & Slater, 2005;Winn, 1993), leads to a deeper sense of presence and engagement in real or surreal environments (Coelho et al, 2006;Heeter, 1992;Makransky & Lilleholt, 2018), and thus likely enables them to more actively construct their own knowledge (Koohang et al, 2009;Roussou & Slater, 2005).…”
