EMPIRICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGIES ON LEARNING DYNAMICS

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies on the educational process. With the continuous development of technology, teaching methods are evolving toward more interactive and immersive approaches. By analyzing experiences from the United States, Finland, and South Korea, the research compares the implementation strategies and objectives of AR and VR in different educational systems. The study aims to determine the areas of education most affected by these technologies and assess their influence on learning outcomes. Findings indicate that the use of AR and VR enhances students’ motivation, supports inclusive learning environments—especially for learners with disabilities—and improves practical skill acquisition. Overall, the integration of immersive technologies demonstrates significant potential for advancing digital transformation in education and shaping future pedagogical frameworks.
