ABSTRACT

Under the wave of educational digital transformation, virtual reality (VR) technology has brought new opportunities for the teaching reform of information technology courses. This paper first analyzes the connotation, characteristics and teaching functions of VR technology, pointing out its features such as immersion, interactivity and imagination, which can effectively improve students' learning participation and knowledge mastery in classroom teaching, experimental teaching and skill training. To accurately grasp the application of VR, this study designs questionnaires, collects and analyzes data, and reveals problems existing in the application of VR in information technology teaching, including insufficient technology popularization, poor adaptability of teaching resources, and limited operational proficiency of teachers and students. On this basis, this paper designs the learning environment from three dimensions: physical environment, learners' emotional environment and supporting technical environment, and clarifies the basic process and requirements of constructing a VR-adapted learning environment for information technology courses.
