Deep Learning in Virtual Reality: How to Teach Children That the Earth is Round

Year: 2000

Type: article

Abstract: To understand deep cognitive change, we have to understand how learners can go beyond their own prior knowledge.We propose a displacement scenario in which a learner acquires a target idea in a different context and then transfers that idea into a target context.We used virtual reality technology to implement a displacement scenario for teaching 2nd grade children that the Earth is round.The rather large pre-to posttest improvement was stable over four months.
