Design, implementation, and evaluation of a virtual reality-based physics laboratory exercise
Abstract
In the context of this work, a laboratory exercise has been developed in a virtual reality environment that was designed and implemented to familiarize students with the collection of measurements, the application of basic statistical analysis methods, and the drawing of conclusions. For the evaluation of the educational methodology, 2 samples of first-year students of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the Hellenic Open University were used. The first consisted of 31 students who completed the live lab exercise under the guidance of a faculty advisor, while the second consisted of 26 students who used the virtual reality lab unsupervised. In the second case, it was found that there was an improvement in achieving the expected results.
