The benefit of using VR systems in educaiton

It is not only hard to teach children to tremendous of information about education but also, there is the limitation to teach them to theory by using print books and videos. For example, if a teacher tries to explain what the solar system is to students by using tennis balls or a science video, students may be hard to understand because those kinds of materials are not real.
There are five benefits of using VR systems in the classroom. First of all, by introducing VR systems in the classroom, students could be better understand because the system provides them with real. In the second place, social interactivity could be improved when students work together through networked mobile devices such as VR goggles and smartphones as well as face-to-face interactions (Birchfield & Megowan-Romanowicz, 2009). Thirdly, supporting customised to various kinds of investigations could be provided to promote individuality (Klopfer, 2008). Virtual reality that brings together learners, virtual objects or information and characters in a real environment have the potential to increase immediacy. Fourth, immersive-media like VR could provide learners with a sense of immersion, which is "the subjective impression that one is participating in a comprehensive, realistic experience" (Dede, 2009, p. 66). Sixth, another significant advantage of using VR systems is safety since unskilled learners can explore potentially dangerous situations without any risk of harm to themselves or damage to expensive equipment. The experience gained by students during the learning process can be a basis for further group discussion in a classroom. Finally, VR systems in education provide students with self-direction and naturalistic learning and increased motivation.

It is important for children to learn by doing. However, it is very difficult to teach them to a large amount of information about education in the classroom.



The VR system has the potential to enhance students’ understanding of abstract and invisible concepts or phenomena.



VR system provides students with the real environment as well as interaction. Thus, they cannot only concentrate on the lecture but also, teachers teach students easier than the traditional teaching sessions.
