EBELİK EĞİTİMİNDE SANAL GERÇEKLİK KULLANIMI

Virtual reality is a technology that involves users in a three-dimensional, interactive environment. This technology, supported by visual and audio components, is used in many fields from education to health. Virtual reality, first introduced in the 1960s, has become more accessible with technological developments. In the health sector, the areas of use for pain management, rehabilitation and education are increasing. It has been found to be effective in improving student skills, especially in midwifery education. Virtual reality is an innovative tool that increases student participation and motivation in midwifery education and improves cognitive learning and clinical competencies. It helps students prepare for real-world scenarios and helps them understand theoretical knowledge more effectively. The literature shows that virtual reality is more successful than traditional pedagogical methods. However, the integration of this technology into midwifery education requires adaptation of curricula and further research.
