فاعلية تكنولوجيا الواقع الافتراضي في التفكير البصري لدى طلبة كلية التربية الأساسية في بايولوجيا الإنسان

Abstract EN

The current research aims at identifying the effectiveness of virtual reality technology in the visual thinking of students of the College of Basic Education in Human Biology.

For the purpose of verifying the objective of this research the researchers put the following zero hypothesis: .

-.

There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students who will study according to virtual reality technology, and the average scores of the control group students who will study according to the traditional method of visual thinking test.

The researchers chose the experimental design with the partial control with the dimensional the visual reasoning test.

The research sample was intentionally chosen from students of the College of Basic Education, Science Department, the first stage, as it reached (81) students, and the random selection is divided into section (A) consisting of (41) students to represent the experimental group, and section (B) consisting of (40) students to represent the control group.

The two research groups were categorized in variables of (chronological age in months, the mark of biology subject in the sixth scientific grade, the test of previous knowledge in biology subject, and the test Raven (for intelligence), the Visual Thinking Test).

The scientific subject that will be taught for the two research groups has been determined based on the course of human biology by (11 lectures) for each group, where (11) plans were prepared for the experimental group and the same for the control group.

To verify research hypothesis, The researchers prepared a visual reasoning test.

For the human biology course, while the visual thinking test consisted of (25) items of the multiple choice type, and the psychometric and stability characteristics were calculated for test.

After the completion of the teaching for the two research groups the visual reasoning test were applied to the two research groups (experimental and control).

The data were collected and statistically processed using the statistical software package (spss), where ((T-test) was used for two unequal samples.

Results indicated: - There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group students who studied human biology according to virtual reality technology, and the average scores of the control group students who studied the same material in the traditional way in the visual thinking variable for the benefit of the experimental group students.

In light of the results, the researchers presented a number of recommendations and proposals.
