Serious games in immersive virtual reality for science learning

Abstract

"At a time when global challenges require a strong scientific culture, young people's interest in science continues to decline as they progress through school. To maintain their attention, a variety of solutions are being considered, including virtual reality (VR), which offers advantages in overcoming the difficulties associated with teaching and learning science. An exploratory study of the integration of VR serious games into the biology, chemistry and physics courses that make up the Science program at the college level shows promising results, opening new p rospects for sparking student interest." -- AQPC
