Experiential Learning for Technology Accommodation: Understanding Students' Changing Perceptions towards the Employment of VR in STEM

Abstract

The design and deployment of a composite analvtical instrument was directed to evaluate and understand users’ changing technological frames with time. The comparison of perceptual snapshots; as expressed through the Technology Frames of Reference; taken before and after the use of VR in STEM and, the employment of subdomain variables from the Technology Acceptance Model catered for expressing users’ changing opinions on VR. In the process nascent users’ subjective opinions towards VR employment within formal educational settings complimented personalised learning qualities that are suggestive of E4.0 traits.
