dc.description.abstractBackground and Purpose: The purpose of this research was to find out how virtual reality instruction affected students’ conceptual understanding of physics concepts. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental approach with control groups before and after the test. 117 SSII physics students comprise the study’s sample. chosen at random from two public co-educational secondary schools in the Dutsin-Ma Education Zone. The Physics Conceptual Understanding Test (PCUT) with a reliability of 0.781 was used. Means, standard deviations, and a t-test with independent samples were used to analyze the data (P = 0.05). Result: In fostering students’ conceptual understanding of physics concepts, virtual reality instruction was found to be more effective than the teacher-centered method. The result shows no significant differences in the conceptual knowledge of male and female students. Conclusion: To enhance their conceptual understanding of physics, it was suggested that teachers expose their physics students to virtual reality instruction. It was also suggested that it be incorporated into teacher training institutions’ curricula to enhance the conceptual understanding of both male and female students.
