ABSTRACT

The application scenarios of Virtual reality (VR) in higher vocational education are becoming increasingly diverse. This study combined VR technology to investigate 30 engineering students from a vocational education university in Guangdong, China. After receiving VR technology for course implementation, their academic performance has greatly improved. This study not only contributes to the theory of academic improvement in higher vocational education, but also provides empirical evidence and operational teaching models for the reform of higher vocational education teaching.
