Summary/Abstract: The article serves as a summary of one of the parts of the research carried out as part of the research grant: Initiative of Excellence - Débuts ("Initiative of Excellence - Research University" program) in the years 2020-2021. The presented analyses concern the comparison of the degree of acceptance of traditional and interactive classes taught with the use of a multimedia board and tablets with interactive classes carried out with the use of VR goggles with motion controllers. The issue of acceptance of classes taught with the use of various techniques and didactic tools is extremely important. A student-friendly environment and working methods influence students' interest and their willingness to be active during lessons. The above-mentioned research was carried out in a group of 570 students in the 2nd and 3rd grade of primary schools from the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The analyses presented to the readers are mainly based on the quantitative data obtained on the basis of observations and surveys. The research material is supplemented with qualitative data obtained through interviews. During the statistical verification, the following tests were used: analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Welch's correction, post-hoc analysis with Games Howell's pair wise comparison test, and V-Cramer’s correlation. The calculations have shown that there is a statistically significant difference in the level of acceptance of the analysed types of classes.
