Application of Virtual Reality (VR) in Moral Education

This study focuses on the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in moral education. Traditional moral education faces many challenges, but VR technology, with its immersive, interactive, and imaginative characteristics, constructs an immersive moral education environment. Through quasi-experimental research, it was found that the experimental group showed significantly greater improvement in moral cognition, moral emotion, and moral behavior markers than the control group, and VR teaching had better long-term effects. However, the application of VR technology faces challenges such as high costs, uneven content quality, and insufficient technical abilities of teachers. Overall, VR technology brings new opportunities for moral education, and in the future, difficulties need to be overcome to better achieve the goal of cultivating morality and nurturing people.
