The Impact of Scenario-Bฺฺased Learning in Virtual Reality Learning Environments on Students’ Creative Learning Experience of Undergraduate Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments on the creative learning experience of undergraduate students and 2) to study the effect of scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments on the creative learning experience of undergraduate students. The research methodology utilized in this study was experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research instruments included: 1) scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments, 2) the quality evaluation form for scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments, 3) the learning experience form for architecture in Ayutthaya province during periods 1 and 3, and 4) the student satisfaction form after testing scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments. The research sample was composed of 35 undergraduate students of the school of management Science from Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University and Phranakhon Rajabhat University who used the volunteer sampling method. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test Dependent.

The result of this research showed that

1. The development of scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments on the creative learning experience of undergraduate students about architecture in Ayutthaya province consisted of five components: (1) people, (2) content, (3) multimedia, (4) hardware and internet networking, and (5) software for creating virtual reality learning environments. The process of development had four steps: (1) planning and preparing resources for production, (2) production, (3) implementation, and (4) assessment. Moreover, the result of quality evaluation of virtual reality learning environments from content expert and instructional designer had the highest level. (Mean = 4.36, SD = 0.36)

2. The research sample who studied about architecture in Ayutthaya province via scenario-based learning in virtual reality learning environments had the posttest means scores on the creative learning experience test higher than the pretest at the .05 level of significance. In addition, the research sample who studied virtual reality learning environments had the highest level of satisfaction. (Mean = 4.38, SD = 0.75)
