Research on the Application of “VR + Theory-Practice Integrated Teaching Method” in Practical Training Teaching in Secondary Vocational Education

To address the prevalent issues in secondary vocational education practical training courses-insufficient student engagement, lack of intrinsic motivation, and outdated pedagogical approaches-this study proposes an innovative instructional design framework integrating Virtual Reality technology with theoretical-practical integration pedagogy.The developed "VR-enabled Theory-Practice Integrated Instructional Model" strategically structures the practical training process into three distinct phases: pre-class theoretical preparation, in-class implementation combining virtual simulation experiments with hands-on practical operations, and post-class consolidation through systematic review.Through rigorous comparative experimentation, this research empirically demonstrates the superior efficacy of the VR-integrated theoretical-practical pedagogy over conventional instructional methods in enhancing learning outcomes.
