Definition, Types And Role Of Immersive Technologies In Education

Abstract

This article provides detailed information about the importance of immersive technologies in education and their different types — Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (XR). Immersive technologies help students learn complex and abstract concepts more effectively, and make the learning process interesting and motivating through interactivity. The article examines the main features of these technologies, their application in education, their impact on educational effectiveness, and their role in consolidating student knowledge. The article also analyzes the technological, financial, and pedagogical difficulties that arise in integrating immersive technologies into the education system. The importance of improving the skills of teachers, developing the infrastructure of educational institutions, and creating effective pedagogical approaches is emphasized for the successful implementation of immersive technologies. The article also examines the role of immersive technologies in the digital transformation of the education system and the prospects for their development in the future. The research results show that immersive technologies have great potential for improving the quality of education, and their widespread implementation will serve to make the educational process more modern, interactive and effective.
