REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON THE USE OF VR TECHNOLOGY IN CHEMISTRY LESSONS

Abstract

The article discusses the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in teaching chemistry. Due to the complexity of some chemical concepts, the need to improve teaching methods and increase students' interest in studying chemistry determines the relevance of scientific work. The use of VR technology in chemistry is an indispensable way to visualize molecules, reactions, and laboratory work, which helps to better understand the material. The research paper provides examples of using virtual reality in the learning process, such as modeling chemical reactions and chemical structures. VR also emphasizes the importance of providing students with the opportunity to conduct experiments in a safe environment. This method plays an important role in improving the professional competence of future chemistry teachers, in the formation of their experimental self-efficacy. VR technology is useful for teachers and future teachers who are interested in organizing the learning process through interactive and immersive teaching methods, and can become a source of ideas for introducing VR into the educational process.
