Background of the Study
Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that immerses users in a 3D environment, enabling them to interact with virtual objects and scenarios. In education, VR has been used to enhance learning by providing immersive experiences that can bring abstract concepts to life. In literature studies, VR can be used to create interactive environments where students can experience stories and historical contexts in a more engaging and memorable way. This approach allows students to explore literary works beyond the pages of a textbook, fostering a deeper understanding of themes, settings, and characters.
In Lafia Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, secondary schools face challenges in engaging students in literature studies. Traditional methods of teaching literature, such as reading aloud and classroom discussions, may not capture the full range of students' interests or learning styles. The integration of virtual reality into literature studies offers an opportunity to create more engaging and interactive lessons, increasing student interest and enhancing their understanding of literary works.
Statement of the Problem
Secondary schools in Lafia Local Government Area face difficulties in engaging students with literature. Traditional teaching methods may not fully motivate students to connect with literary texts, and there is a need for more interactive and immersive learning approaches. Virtual reality offers a potential solution to this challenge, but its application in literature studies is not well-explored. This study aims to investigate how VR can be used to enhance student engagement in literature studies, making learning more interactive and dynamic.
