Overview

Randomized trial examines the design of flexible learning spaces in museums, highlighting VR's pedagogical value.

Key Points

This research investigates how pre-service teachers design flexible learning spaces in museums through Virtual Reality.
Participants engaged in a VR-based activity using Oculus Rift to create a modular museum learning environment.
Data collected from pre- and post-activity reflections to assess changes in understanding and confidence.
Grounded in phenomenological methodology and informed by spatial theory.
VR enhanced participants' spatial literacy and pedagogical creativity.
Participants reported increased confidence in designing inclusive learning spaces following the activity.
Immersive environments fostered emotional connections to the learning environment and supported embodied cognition.
