Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the perception of “presence” of 43 prospective teachers participating in a virtual reality (VR) environment with an immersion function and to describe their opinions and experiences regarding the implementation process. The case study model, a qualitative research approach, was used. Participants experienced the VR environment using an HTC Vive device with an immersive feature. Qualitative data were collected through a structured interview form at the end of the application. Findings indicated that most participants provided positive perceptions regarding their VR experience. Additionally, the perceptions of participants were categorized into three main areas: technology, design, and individual characteristics. These categories and the participants’ experiences may contribute to the process of integrating VR systems into educational environments and developing novel VR applications.

虚拟现实环境下未来教师的“存在”探索：一项定性研究

摘要本研究旨在调查43名未来教师在具有沉浸功能的虚拟现实环境中对“在场”的感知，并描述他们对实施过程的意见和经验。采用了案例研究模式，这是一种定性研究方法。参与者使用具有沉浸式功能的HTC Vive设备体验VR环境。定性数据是在申请结束时通过结构化面试表收集的。研究结果表明，大多数参与者对他们的虚拟现实体验都有积极的看法。此外，参与者的感知被分为三个主要领域：技术、设计和个人特征。这些类别和参与者的经历可能有助于将VR系统集成到教育环境中并开发新的VR应用程序。
