Corinna S. Martarelli; Josua Dubach; Natalie Schelleis; Trix Cacchione; Sebastian Tempelmann – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Virtual reality (VR) can provide access to otherwise inaccessible aspects of the world and thus promote science learning. We developed a VR learning tool about the water cycle, with 11 lessons for classroom teaching at the primary level. We assessed prior knowledge before a four-week intervention and learning outcomes directly after the…
