Description
Virtual Reality (VR) is a promising technology for enhancing concept learning in physics. We developed a three-dimensional VR learning environment comprising tasks on electric potentials and fields. In an experimental study with 210 students of the advanced track of the Swiss secondary school, we compared the learning gains when students solved the tasks using the VR environment with a VR headset or with a computer or in a non-VR setting using projections printed on paper. While there was no significant difference between the conditions overall, students with lower spatial abilities showed significantly greater learning gains in the VR headset condition.
