Description
Summary:The basic aim of the research presented in this paper was a complex evaluation of a practical space exercise supported by virtual tools, with a special focus on the role of VR technology and the software used. The research also examined technological and methodological aspects such as the effectiveness of VR lab exercises, the quality of online learning materials and software, and the role of instructors. The methodology of our research was based on attitudinal analysis and descriptive statistical analysis, an important part of which was an evaluation of the VR software used, which not only characterises the current situation but also determines future development directions. As a result of our research, we can conclude that VR technology, especially 3D visualisation and interactive exercises, have proven to be particularly important in the learning process, but the future of VT technology in education is still perceived by students as somewhat uncertain due to infrastructural and resource constraints. Furthermore, our research results show that there is a need to improve the IT infrastructure and further optimize VR software, as well as a need for future research on resource allocation and technology integration beyond the pedagogical effectiveness of VR technology.
