Abstract
Explore first pedagogical approach promotes the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Promotes active involvement on the part of learners with the subject matter, which leads to exploring concepts through hands-on activities fostering a deeper understanding. The use of virtual and immersive learning environments (VILEs) in an educational context has raised interest among teachers and researchers. In this study, we design a short-training course supported by exploring first in a VILE. With this study, we investigate the perception of teachers who attended a short-training course about integrating VILEs in their teaching practice. Quantitative and qualitative methods have been used to collect teachers’ perceptions. Quantitative data were subjected to statistical analysis, and qualitative data to content analysis. The results excitingly reveal teachers’ openness to integrating immersive virtual learning environments in their teaching work and admit advantages. These teachers were interested in using immersive virtual learning environments as educational resources but recognized that they needed training to use them effectively. Therefore, it is thought that exploring first in an immersive virtual learning environment will contribute to distance education by online learning.
探索为先的教学方法促进批判性思维和解决问题能力的发展。促进学习者积极参与主题,从而通过实践活动探索概念,加深理解。在教育环境中使用虚拟和沉浸式学习环境(VILE)引起了教师和研究人员的兴趣。在本研究中,我们设计了一个短期培训课程,首先在 VILE 中进行探索。通过这项研究,我们调查了参加短期培训课程的教师对在教学实践中整合虚拟现实环境的看法。我们采用定量和定性方法收集教师的看法。对定量数据进行了统计分析,对定性数据进行了内容分析。结果令人兴奋地揭示了教师对在教学工作中整合沉浸式虚拟学习环境的开放态度,并承认其优势。这些教师对使用沉浸式虚拟学习环境作为教育资源很感兴趣,但认识到他们需要培训才能有效地使用这些资源。因此,我们认为,首先在身临其境的虚拟学习环境中进行探索将有助于通过在线学习开展远程教育。
