Exploring Asia in VR: Primary Students Share Their Experiences
When measuring student engagement, a recent case study found a 60% increase in students who strongly agreed to the statement: ‘I pay attention during #Geography lessons’.
In the study, 78 Year 6 students from Grange Primary School participated in a Geography unit, taught in the school’s Lumination Learning Lab over 4 weeks. The goal was to transform the way students learn about geography and increase #engagement by using the Lab.
Year 6 Teacher, Daniel Moyle, who led the study alongside Lumination's Naomi Guglielmo, shared just how impactful #VirtualReality is. One of his students, who spent a part of her childhood in Japan, was able to take her classmates to her hometown, show them where her grandparents lived and explore the area.
“Using Google Earth they revisited her neighbourhood using the technology, something you could never do through a textbook,” said Daniel. “They were able to relive it and it was really a touching experience.”
