The subjects were 15 students at Ban Nanok School under the Krabi Primary Educational Service Area. The research tool was a questionnaire, and the statistics used in data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results showed that

1. A Virtual Reality application enhanced the imaginative and creative writing skills of the grade-six students. The E1/ E2 efficiency was 80.74/83.11, which was higher than the established criteria of 80/80


2. The comparative results of the writing skill achievement after using the virtual reality application were higher than before using the virtual reality application. The imaginative story writing was statistically significant at the .05 level


3. The satisfaction level of grade-six students toward the application of virtual reality technology to enhance their imaginative and creative writing skills is very satisfactory.
