Can Virtual Reality More Arouse Student Empathy?--Meta analysis based on 19 randomized controlled trials

作者:Liang Zhongxiang

院校:Chongqing Normal University

摘要:Virtual reality technology,as a new form of education that cultivates student empathy,has received widespread
attention.However,there is controversy in existing research on whether virtual reality can trigger student empathy more
effectively than traditional forms of education.To clarify the impact of virtual reality teaching on students'empathy awareness
and ability,as well as its differences from traditional teaching methods,this study used meta-analysis to systematically evaluate
19 randomized controlled experiments.The results show that virtual reality teaching can effectively improve students'empathy
level.The analysis of moderating variables shows that the empathy effect of virtual reality teaching is better than face-to-face
teaching,but the difference between virtual reality teaching and flat video teaching is not statistically significant;Knowledge
learning and public welfare experience programs have better empathy effects,while disease perception programs have no
advantages compared to traditional teaching methods;The program with an experience duration of 10-20 minutes has a
significant and stable empathy teaching effect;The third person perspective is more likely to arouse students'empathy than
the first person perspective;Virtual reality programs without interactive functions have better empathy teaching effects than
programs with interactive functions.This study suggests that empathy teaching based on virtual reality should be improved in
terms of integrated applications,content selection,and instructional design,effectively leveraging its advantages in cultivating
student empathy.
