This study investigated the role of virtual reality (VR) in computer science (CS) education over the last 10 years by conducting a bibliometric and content analysis of articles related to the use of VR in CS education. A total of 971 articles published in peer-reviewed journals and conferences were collected from Web of Science and Scopus databases to conduct the bibliometric analysis. Furthermore, content analysis was conducted on 39 articles that met the inclusion criteria. This study demonstrates that VR research for CS education was faring well around 2011 but witnessed low production output between the years 2013 and 2016. However, scholars have increased their contribution in this field recently, starting from the year 2017. This study also revealed prolific scholars contributing to the field. It provides insightful information regarding research hotspots in VR that have emerged recently, which can be further explored to enhance CS education. In addition, the quantitative method remains the most preferred research method, while the questionnaire was the most used data collection technique. Moreover, descriptive analysis was primarily used in studies on VR in CS education. The study concludes that even though scholars are leveraging VR to advance CS education, more effort needs to be made by stakeholders across countries and institutions. In addition, a more rigorous methodological approach needs to be employed in future studies to provide more evidence-based research output. Our future study would investigate the pedagogy, content, and context of studies on VR in CS education.

“…An initial evaluation of the prototype was conducted with 47 computer science students from a Nigerian university who voluntarily participated in an experimental process. Authors of the paper [21] designed and implemented two modules teaching arrays and loops aiming to provide an alternative way of teaching the two data structures to students in introductory Computer Science courses. To accomplish this, they developed the two Virtual reality instructional (VRI) modules within the Vizard development platform using Python and included seven different types of loops for the Duck Game and two functions for the Array game.…”

With the fast development of computer science and technology, computer games have become one of the integral parts of modern way of living. Research studies have conveyed that educational games are motivating, engaging and provide a reliable learning context. Due to the expansion of the educational transform, game theme-based learning methodology has become one of the current research focuses. There is a need to change the traditional passive method of teaching to an active method of teaching such as game and simulation-based learning. So, we need to provide a better learning environment by increasing the student's motivation towards learning. The game theme-based instructional (GTI) modules prepare the learners to think critically, and the students can adopt new challenges of the relevant knowledge. This paper presents a novel and exciting methodology of teaching algorithms by motivating the students towards learning. We designed and developed The Ball Targeting Game consisting of two GTI modules to teach loops and choice statements. The gaming modules demonstrated in this paper were developed using Vizard, which is a virtual reality toolkit used for developing virtual worlds and immersive applications for visualization and simulation using Python as its scripting language.

Game theme based learning modules will revolutionize education because it increases motivation and engagement of students as they learn interactively. This study is aimed to assess the perceived motivation and engagement of undergraduate students for game theme based learning in introductory programming courses. This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of a game theme-based instructional (GTI) module to teach linked list and binary tree data structure. We have used FDF (four- dimensional framework) with a minor extension for the design and development of GTI modules. The design of the GTI module is modeled on the constructive approach of learning. The purpose of this paper is to overcome the intellectual crisis by providing a new way of thinking and learning. We have evaluated the GTI modules based on the five components of Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQII). The results of the evaluation of GTI modules show that the students feel self-determined and motivated towards their learning and career.
