The Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that was born, developed and matured abroad, western countries started earlier in the field of Virtual Reality(VR) technology research and their research achievements also have leading advantages. At present, the virtual reality technology has become an important development direction for deepening education reform in China, especially in the field of virtual reality education, there are many problems to be solved urgently. Based on the analysis of the core topics of VR education research in Western Countries, we found that the key problems it faces are: lack of research venation combing, weak of discipline research, unbalanced research orientation, and three solutions are put forward accordingly: constructing the research venation model of VR education, innovating the operational mechanism of the discipline research of VR education, guiding the orientation of VR education research value. Finally refined and optimized the development strategy of VR education in China.
