Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Educational Technology
  • Marine Biology

Background:

  • Marine debris poses a significant environmental threat, necessitating effective public awareness strategies.
  • Current educational methods for marine debris often lack sufficient engagement, limiting their impact on behavior change.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) educational approach for marine debris awareness.
  • To compare the efficacy and effectiveness of VR-based education against traditional video-based methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed three marine debris-themed VR educational modules.
  • Recruited 25 students, randomly assigning them to VR or video-based education groups.
  • Assessed efficacy (simulation sickness, usability, user experience) and effectiveness (knowledge gain, motivation).

Main Results:

  • The VR educational approach resulted in significantly higher motivation for action among participants.
  • VR education demonstrated acceptable efficacy performance, including user experience and usability.
  • Participants in the VR group showed greater engagement and willingness to act on marine debris issues.

Conclusions:

  • Immersive Virtual Reality education is a highly effective tool for increasing marine debris awareness and promoting behavioral change.
  • VR-based learning offers a promising, innovative solution for enhancing engagement in environmental education and driving large-scale marine debris prevention efforts.
