Speech Title: To explore the effects of Virtual Reality in vocational education and training

Abstract: The features of Virtual Reality (VR) present a learner-centric platform, make leaning more vivid, and solve the problems that cannot complete in physical classes. It can encourage the students’ motivation and improve the learning experience. However, results pertaining to the effects of VR in vocational education and training (VET) have not been explored deeply. As for the design skills, whether VR can improve the design outcomes, it is still a big question. In this paper, we chose the VR to support interior designers for designing the office space. After analyzing this instructional experiment, we investigate the effects of VR in designing office space compared with the traditional method on proportion, composition, and innovation from design outcomes. The results show that VR can enhance the design outcomes compare with paper sketching except innovation. On the other hand, the design outcomes can be impacted by different orders between paper sketch first after VR or VR first after paper sketch. As for quantitative analysis, we find the first combination is better than the second one.
