IMMERSIVE LEARNING IN EDUCATION: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Immersive learning is a teaching and learning approach that integrates technology with traditional methods of education, providing a more realistic and stimulating environment for growth. It focuses more on the experience of learning rather than if a student’s answers are right or wrong. Immersive learning is hugely effective way for many learners to develop their knowledge and skills. It provides artificial, digitally created content and environments that accurately replicates real life scenarios so that new skills and techniques can be learned and perfected. In the future, immersion students will typically develop greater cognitive flexibility, demonstrating increased attention control, better memory, and superior problem-solving skills as well as an enhanced understanding of their primary language. This study also indicates that work immersion enables students to acquire and develop the skills of teamwork, communication, attendance and punctuality, productivity and resilience, initiate and proactivity, judgment and decision making, dependability and reliability, attitude, and professionalism.
