“…Current attempts, though interesting, are necessarily fragmentary and incomplete (see e.g., Thurman, 1993). Based on such a theory, discovery learning with simulations can take its place in learning and instruction as a new line of learning environments based on technology where more emphasis is being given to the learner's own responsibility.…”

Scientific discovery learning is a highly self-directed and constructivistic form of learning. A computer simulation is a type of computer-based environment that is very suited for discovery learning, the main task of the learner being to infer, through experimentation, characteristics of the model underlying the simulation. In this article we give a review of the observed effectiveness and efficiency of discovery learning in simulation environments together with problems that learners may encounter in discovery learning, and we discuss how simulations may be combined with instructional support in order to overcome these problems.

“…VR is a simulated environment that is created with computer technology and presented to the user in such a way, that user starts to feel like in real environment. A Simulation is a model of a real world where user has the ability to interact with the environment [7]. Simulations are helpful and useful as they provide realistic context in which individuals can explore, experiment and see immediate results as they create models of their own or try theories on the modelled concept [8].…”

This paper presents a robust literature review on the subject of Virtual Reality and its use in training and educational systems. Firstly, the beginnings of Virtual Reality are presented, then, advantages and disadvantages of virtual reality environments are described. Various characteristics of Virtual Reality are highlighted, which have positive or negative influence on learning or training ability of individuals. It is shown how various organizations could benefit from using virtual reality in their daily activities. Such aspect as sense of presence is also described, which has tremendous effect on how subjects perceive information in virtual world.

“…Multimedia materials often combine text with video recordings, images, sound files and interactive simulations. Interactive instructional programs have been found to have a higher effectiveness than those with little or no interactivity (Thurman, 1993). Simulations can also be effective in explaining complex concepts and ideas (Lam and McNaught, 2006).…”
