Abstract

This review paper aims at narrating the design and integration of immersive virtual reality (IVR) in teachers’ instruction in enhancing high school students’ mathematics competence in an online learning environment. The study aims to answer three research questions: the current state of IVR in Mathematics Education, the potential benefits of using IVR, and the limitations of using IVR. The study will utilize a narrative review and evaluate empirical studies on the effectiveness of IVR in enhancing high school students’ mathematics competencies. A search would be conducted in electronic databases such as APA PsycINFO, Science Direct, Web of Science, Eric, and ProQuest Central for relevant studies published from 2010 to 2023. The expected results would provide insights into the potential of IVR in improving mathematics competence in an online environment and highlight key benefits and challenges.This presentation would also provide recommendations for educators and policymakers to integrate IVR into online mathematics education.
