Abstract
This study aims to disclose how virtual reality technology has been applied to studies of learning and the possibility of virtual reality by reviewing studies that have employed the virtual reality approach. A total of 15 papers were selected from the Scopus Index database from 2015 to 2020. Content analysis showed that virtual reality and physics learning had received the most attention under the theme of student perception, especially in self-efficacy and experience, followed by satisfaction, motivation, and engagement. Trends of research development show that the use of virtual reality has proliferated recently. Moreover, HTC Vive is the most powerful device to conduct the VR study for the tool device. This study concludes that virtual reality technology provides a promising media for educational researchers.
Highlights
Virtual reality with its powerful in visualizing abstract concepts has become an interesting subject to discuss in physics learning
Technology Virtual Reality (VR) has become an important topic of education in recent years (Chang et al 2020) and has the potential to overcome natural constraints and present things that would not be visible in the physical world (Greenwald et al 2018)
This potential can be a great deal for teachers to make the VR a powerful tool for physics learning and allows students to become highly immersed in complex physics topics
Summary
Virtual reality with its powerful in visualizing abstract concepts has become an interesting subject to discuss in physics learning. Technology VR has become an important topic of education in recent years (Chang et al 2020) and has the potential to overcome natural constraints and present things that would not be visible in the physical world (Greenwald et al 2018). This potential can be a great deal for teachers to make the VR a powerful tool for physics learning and allows students to become highly immersed in complex physics topics. Characters that usually appear during the physics learning process include responsibility, creativity, honesty, perseverance, discipline, and tolerance (Anita and Novianty 2020)
