- Description
- This paper explores pre-service and in-service teachers perceptions of virtual reality (VR) technology as a teaching and learning tool in the classroom in India. The study aimed to answer four research questions, including the adoption rate of VR technology among teachers, their confidence levels in teaching using VR technologies compared to digital technologies, attitudes towards using VR technology, and the usefulness of different uses of VR technology. The survey conducted among 102 teachers found limited adoption of VR technology, lower confidence levels in using it, but willingness to use it in the future. The paper recommends providing adequate training and support to increase teachers confidence in using VR technology in their teaching practices. The study also suggests that strategies to promote VR technology should consider gender differences in attitudes towards it. Overall, the research concludes that teachers view VR technology as having potential benefits for learning and teaching across various uses.
