THE IMPORTANCE OF VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Abstract

Virtual and augmented reality technologies serve as essential tools in enhancing the effectiveness of the educational process and reinforcing students’ knowledge and skills. These technologies enable the visualization of complex concepts, organization of interactive lessons, and safe execution of practical experiences. They contribute to increased motivation and attention among learners, while promoting collaboration through individual and group activities. The integration of virtual and augmented reality into education allows for the modernization of pedagogical strategies, interactivity of learning materials, and diversification of teaching methods. This article analyzes the advantages, limitations, and potential applications of VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) in the learning process and provides practical recommendations for their effective implementation.
