The use of virtual reality (VR) technology in higher education has been increasing day by day due to the benefits it provides. Various technological devices are used for VR, with mobile-based VR glasses and VR headsets being the most frequently used in educational environments. However, when the literature is examined, it is seen that there need to be more studies on the use of these devices in educational settings. In this context, this study aims to examine university students’ acceptance and attitudes toward the use of mobile-based VR glasses and VR headsets for educational purposes. The study was conducted with 56 university students studying in the Computer Technology and Information Systems department in the 2021-2022 academic year. Within the scope of the study, students experienced VR applications designed for astronomy using mobile-based VR glasses and VR headsets, and then data was collected by applying scales to determine students' acceptance and attitude towards these devices. As a result of the analyses, students' acceptance and attitude towards using mobile-based VR glasses and VR headsets were found to be high. Additionally, while there was no statistically significant difference between students' acceptance of mobile-based VR glasses and VR headsets, a statistically significant difference was found between their attitudes toward using devices. |
