Abstract

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has potential for increasing training engagement in many disciplines, including safety training. Nevertheless, its educational use remains detached from learning theory. We address this gap by asking what kind of pedagogical model supports IVR occupational safety training. The model we propose is theoretically based on simulation learning and IVR learning research. The model is being developed in design-based research and will be empirically tested during training interventions. Data is being collected from questionnaires, observations, video recordings and stimulated recall interviews, and will be analysed using mixed methods. The results will be used to develop the pedagogical model. They will advance IVR learning theory and educational practise.
