Hee-Soo Kim · Journal of the Korean earth science society · 2002
The experimental side of earth science contains a lot of variables that cannot be controlled in the classroom or in the laboratory. Therefore, as one method to overcome these difficulties, a learning program using 3D Virtual Reality technique has been developed. The program was used with 701 middle school students. The result showed that the program had a very positive effect on inducing interest and motivation through a sense of immersion, and it also showed to be a big help in the improvement of space perception ability.
