From virtual to reality: evaluating student attitudes through VR dissection preparations: a use case

Abstract

As animal dissection becomes less common in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, alternative methods like virtual reality (VR) are being explored. With the emphasis on training future healthcare professionals, it's crucial to understand how students perceive these methods. VR may help bridge the gap, but students' attitudes toward dissection and VR's role remain underexplored. We tested VR dissections followed by live dissections to better understand students' learning experiences in these environments.
