Effect of Learning Biology Through Virtual Reality by Ninth Standard Students

The continual evolution of ICTs has profoundly reshaped educational processes, fostering the development of new collaborative and individual learning environments that promote the acquisition of both disciplinary and transversal competencies. Virtual Reality is the creation of simulation of a real-world experience that a person can enter and leave at any time using technology. Virtual reality can also increase students’ motivation to learn and make learning interesting. Thus, virtual reality in this study have enhanced student learning in biology subject. For the present study the experimental study method is adopted. Both the control and experimental group were tested. Nearly 80 ninth standard students from Chennai district, Tamil Nadu state was taken from the Government school. In each group 40 students were selected. For both the groups pretest and posttest were give and the score were analyzed using the SPSS. In biology the circulatory and skeletal system class was taken through virtual reality in the online learning environment. Results of the study indicated that there is significant mean difference in experimental study in post-test score, which proves that virtual reality has more effect on the experimental group students where they have learnt through VR technology,
