“…It is noticeable that four studies (Delacruz, 2019;McPherson et al, 2021;Saha et al, 2022;Adedokun et al, 2012) also mentioned the involvement of outside experts as a part of the VFT design or VFT lessons. Among all pedagogical strategies, teach back Virtual Field Trips in K-12 Classrooms 60 (Parmaxi et al, 2021) and concept mapping (Matthews, 2020) were used less frequently. This may be caused by less familiarity with the strategies or may indicate that these strategies are not completely aligned with the teaching objectives.…”

“…Lastly, the interaction dynamics between teachers, students, and peers within VFT environments highlight the importance of active teacher engagement and well-designed collaborative activities. While high levels of teacher-student interaction often foster peer collaboration (Parmaxi, et al, 2021;Peterson, et al, 2020), this is not always the case, necessitating intentional pedagogical planning. The variety of teaching activities used in conjunction with VFTs, including the involvement of outside experts, points to the versatility and adaptability of VFTs in fostering an interactive learning environment.…”

This systematic review examines the pedagogical gap of how VFTs are adopted and integrated in K-12 classroom teaching and learning. Specifically, it focuses on the grade levels and subject areas, learning outcomes and pedagogical activities involved VFTs at elementary and secondary levels. The results of this review show the current usage of VFTs occurs more often in science and history-related classes for secondary students, mainly due to VFTs' affordances in offering access to unreachable exploration, visualization of complex concepts, and time change observation. It also reveals that the implementation of VFTs can lead to positive cognitive and affective learning gains when a variety of carefully designed pedagogical activities are used, among which scaffolding and procedural strategies are highlighted. The results also demonstrated that high levels of peer-to-peer interaction coincide with high levels of teacher-to-student interaction, however, high teacher-to-student interaction may not necessarily lead to high peer-to-peer interaction, indicating that need to design specific activities to promote student interaction among themselves. Thus, future research and practice may explore how VFTs can be used to enhance higher order thinking skills, such as analysis and synthesis, and teachers are to be empowered in the processes of VFT creation and adoption.

“…Beyond VR's contribution to academic accomplishments, these studies emphasized a heightened level of motivation (e.g., Nobrega & Rozenfield, 2019). The majority of these studies depicted VR as an effective and efficient tool within educational settings, attributing it to increased student achievement and providing instructors with the opportunity to establish a student-centered learning environment (e.g., Parmaxi et al, 2021). Moreover, students' foreign language learning abilities saw improvements through the utilization of various VR tools (e.g., Berns et al, 2019).…”

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology with a potential impact on education. Due to cost and usability limitations, it has not been used extensively. However, recent research studies suggested VR as a learning environment with benefits on students' learning performance through experience. It especially has various benefits for language learners. Learning a new language requires interaction and an immersive learning experience. In order to reveal its benefits and challenges and make suggestions for future implementations, this study focused on using VR in language learning and reviewed the literature in terms of how VR was used in language learning environments. The researchers systematically discovered 32 studies between 2018 and 2022 and examined them in terms of research methods, languages, school groups, VR tools, benefits, and limitations of using VR in a language learning environment. The researchers found that using VR in a language learning environment influenced learners' motivation and academic performance in a positive way. In addition, VR makes the learning environment more realistic, engaged, simulated, and interactive. However, using VR for a long time may cause some health problems for some age groups. It was also noted that interaction between students and teachers was low, but the interaction between the environment and students was high. Therefore, using VR in language learning may decrease instructors' control in the learning environment. The researchers argue that VR is an effective tool for increasing academic performance but has some challenges for teachers and students regarding technical constraints and interaction. The implications and recommendations of this study inform the researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and administrators about how to implement VR in language learning environments.
