How does interactive virtual reality enhance learning outcomes via emotional experiences? A structural equation modeling approach.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Interest in interactive virtual reality (IVR) is increasing due to its potential for embodied learning and group-led teaching. However, few studies have investigated the internal mechanism by which IVR technology features and learning experiences affect learning outcomes in terms of psychological and emotional value. Based on media technology models and the control value theory of achievement emotions (CVTAE), this study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the correlations among the internal elements of IVR technology features, learning experiences, and learning outcomes. It also emphasizes the role played by emotional experience in this context.

Methods

The sample referenced by this study consisted of 480 college students (193 males) who were
