Abstract:The problem and the aim of the study. The effectiveness of learning in elementary schools is still a major problem for teachers and students in learning activities. This is evidenced by the low interest in student learning which has an impact on students' lack of understanding of learning material. Teachers still find it difficult to find learning variations that can generate interest and experience student activities in learning. The authors propose virtual reality (VR) technology as a solution to increase st… Show more
In this study, a comparative analysis of virtual reality (VR) and desktop conditions was used to investigate how levels of immersion influence spatial ability. The study revealed significant differences in participants’ spatial environmental ability, with VR users displaying enhanced spatial ability as compared to desktop users. These findings support previous studies regarding the efficacy of immersive versus non-immersive technologies in spatial learning. This study contributes valuable insights for spatial ability training and educational methodologies, and points to the need for further research on this topic.
