Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the potential of virtual reality (VR) technology in enhancing environmental awareness among elementary school students. The theme was focused on animals in their natural habitat to provide an immersive learning experience. The method involves designing and
implementing a VR-based curriculum for a group of fifth-grade students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using the Meta Quest 2 (formerly the Oculus Quest 2) and student worksheet developed with a Problem Based Learning model. The curriculum includes interactive modules that allow students to explore different animal habitats and engage in virtual field trips to wildlife reserves. The VR environment allowed students to explore different animal habitats and engage in virtual field trips to wildlife reserves. The results show that the VR has potential effect on students' environment awareness, as well as their engagement and interest in learning about the natural world. This study suggests that the use of VR technology in elementary school classrooms has the potential to enhance students' learning experiences, promote environment awareness, and inspire future generations to become responsible stewards of the planet.
