VIRION aims to promote active learning among secondary school students aged 14 to 16 in STEM subjects, while also analyzing the application of custom-made VR educational materials in the countries of the participating entities (Spain, Bulgaria, Finland, and Germany).
Specifically, the project seeks to:
- 1. Test an innovative educational methodology based on VR content in schools with students between 14 and 16 years old.
- 2. Design a Web portal (dashboard) where to dump all that accumulated experience. In addition, to ensure its sustainability, it will have AI (chatbot) capacity with which we will guide the different users according to their objectives. In this way, we act as a space of contact between the different actors (politicians with educational responsibilities, educational managers, teachers, VR content production companies and hardware manufacturers) interested in the educational use of this technology.
- 3. Elaborate a “White Book” with the tested methodology.
To sum up, our overall aim is to provide European educational authorities, school managers and teachers with several tools to face the challenges of education that are foreseen for the coming years and help them improve PISA results by being focused on STEM subjects.
