We designed the simulation to provide an immersive and interactive experience for university students to learn about nuclear safety and protocol. We conducted a survey to assess the acceptance of the VR simulation by high school teachers and university students. Results indicate that the majority of students found the simulation to be an exciting tool for learning, especially in addition to their existing lab session. Besides some hurdles and concerns (mainly technical and managerial), teachers reported a positive attitude toward using VR in education in terms of ease-of-use, visual appeal and dynamic behaviour, specifically to explain theoretical concepts and to simulate procedures when real-life lab sessions are too hard to acquire. | Other: | We, the Conference Committee of the ISC’2023 Conference, which was held in Valletta, Malta, from May 31 – June 2, 2023, hereby declare that after a peer review Jeroen Ceyssens, Wim Eerdekens, Wouter Schroeyers and Fabian Di Fiore were selected with their paper entitled Student and Teacher Acceptance of a Virtual Reality Nuclear Simulation Learning Environment As Best Paper of the aforementioned conference Liberato Camilleri ISC’2023 General Conference Chair | Keywords: | Virtual Reality;Education;Radiation Simulation | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/42519 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://www.scopus.com/record/display.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85184801956&origin=inward&txGid=63c8b5302acd2608f3e574c2a856c5ae | ISBN: | 978-949285926-6 | Rights: | Copyright 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved. | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
