Development of Science Virtual Reality Lab Simulation (SVLS): Enhancing Immersive Experiences

In order to improve student learning in primary science laboratories, this pilot study explores the development and application of a Virtual Reality (VR) simulation system called Science Virtual Lab Simulation (SVLS). Unlike traditional teaching approaches, SVLS is designed to provide an engaging and interactive environment that helps young learners better understand scientific concepts. Three crucial components of virtual reality (VR) in education are highlighted by the study’s methodology: the system’s overall usability, the interaction between users and VR technology, and the learning experience itself. The results showed students’ desire and enthusiasm to learn were increased by the VR environment, which made scientific concepts easier to understand. The study suggested that the active use of VR technology may contribute to enhancing science education by potentially making learning more engaging and enjoyable. The user-friendliness and intuitiveness of the VR system appeared to play a role in its effective integration into learning environments. Additionally, the research highlighted the importance of designing VR systems with interfaces and instructions that are considerate of the cognitive and physical abilities of young students, though further studies are recommended to fully understand these impacts. To summarize, the SVLS prototype showcases how VR may revolutionize the teaching of primary science. It highlights how well built VR systems can greatly enhance various elements of education, including learning engagement, technological interaction, and overall academic outcomes.
