Integration of Children with Special Needs in Mathematics through Virtual Reality
Keller, Thomas; Hebeisen, Andreas; Brucker-Kley, Elke
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) (15th, Budapest, Hungary, Oct 21-23, 2018)
Students with special needs in mathematics lessons can be specifically supported through virtual reality (VR) if they are offered virtual learning environments that offer real benefits through their implementation in VR. In addition to learning by doing, the visualization of mathematical facts in 3D for the training of imagination can offer added value in relation to the tasks themselves or that content can be experienced in class for which this is otherwise not simply possible. The evaluation of the developed learning environments with learners has shown that possible advantages of an immersive learning environment compared to classical teaching aids can be a positive effect on motivation, concentration and learning success.
