Virtual Reality learning retention in education and trainings

Summary/Abstract: We observe dynamic technological and organizational changes in societies that wereenhanced by COVID-19 pandemic. People are challenged in all areas of individual and social life.Problems have been observed in education where many teachers have been thrown into thedeep end without any preparation to teach students on-line. I remember a reading book from anelementary school in the late 1980s, where students did not have to go to school and connectedwith teachers through special devices. I liked the story very much and I envied the protagonistnot having to go to school. It sounded really futuristic at that time. Thirty years have passedand such solutions have become a necessity for which teachers and trainers must be prepared.Students expect teachers to be professionals and use high quality materials and methods topresent their knowledge. That is where VR comes in – with a high level of attractiveness and newtechnological ways of presenting information and developing skills. Moreover VR trainings seemto have great “learning retention” possibilities meant (in psychology) as an ability to remember(indicated as one of key elements of the learning process). The use of VR in education andtraining needs further exploration as it is one of key aspects of the learning process.
