This work-in-progress paper describes effect on spatial immersion in VR on educational outcomes based on the empirical research. Spatial immersion is one of the key features of immersive virtual reality, which qualitatively distinguishes it from the desktop virtual reality. The spatial relative position of objects and forces is crucial to understanding the laws and rules in physics studying. However, to what extent a better understanding of spatial laws would help in solving standard school problems has not been explored. The special software for the school education program module "Magnetic Field. Electromagnetic induction" for Vive Focus was developed to
explore virtual reality learning as an additional tool to study spatial rules. A study was conducted with 61 ninth-grade students from five schools. The results have shown that learning in virtual reality has a positive effect on practical skills in the short term, while in the middle the effectiveness of VR was not revealed.
