Research on high school students' behavior in art course within a virtual learning environment based on SVVR

Area of Science:

• Educational Technology
• Virtual Reality in Education
• Art Education

Background:

• Spherical video-based virtual reality (SVVR) offers immersive learning experiences.
• SVVR can foster self-regulated and explorative learning in virtual environments.
• Its application in art courses may yield unique teaching effects and induce flow states.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate the antecedents and outcomes of students' flow state when using SVVR teaching materials in art courses.
• To analyze the relationship between flow state and perceived usefulness, satisfaction, and continued use intention.
• To provide insights for developing and implementing SVVR in high school art education.

Main Methods:

• An art course teaching experiment involving 380 high school students.
• Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the collected data.
• Focus on identifying key factors contributing to and resulting from student flow states.

Main Results:

• Control and telepresence are significant antecedents of flow state in SVVR art education.
• Achieving flow states positively correlates with perceived usefulness and satisfaction.
• Flow experiences enhance students' intention to continue using SVVR materials.

Conclusions:

• Optimizing control and telepresence in SVVR is crucial for enhancing student flow states in art courses.
• Positive flow experiences are essential for increasing perceived value and user satisfaction.
• Findings support the integration of SVVR for improved learning outcomes and sustained engagement in art education.
