Abstract

The study explores how these immersive technologies address challenges in traditional classrooms, such as maintaining student enthusiasm and effective knowledge retention. A meta-analysis reveals a significant positive impact of VR on student engagement, particularly in higher education and immersive VR experiences, affecting cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. The research also examines the key characteristics of VR and AR in education, their applications in various learning domains, and the factors influencing their effectiveness, including the role of immersive experiences, interactive design, and individual learning styles. The study highlights the potential of VR/AR to improve knowledge retention through experiential learning and addresses challenges related to cost, technical support, and content creation. Future research directions are suggested, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies and investigation into optimal integration strategies. The conclusion emphasizes the transformative potential of VR/AR in revolutionizing education while acknowledging the need for careful consideration of various factors for successful implementation.
