Abstract
Introduction: Due to the limited capacity of stakeholders to facilitate experiential learning for bachelor’s students, an effort has been made by the Pharmacy Faculty of the University of Surabaya by implementing virtual reality technology (VRT) for the very first time. Concerns about the attainment of fundamental aspects of experiential learning, particularly the sense of immersion and situated learning, have been raised in our institution. This study aims to describe the students’ perception towards the fundamental aspects of VRT implementation. Methods: Nine cases in VRT were implemented in the integrated courses of respiratory and infection disorder (IC, third year course), responding to symptoms (RS, third year course), and prescription services (PS, fourth year course). Students could only access the VRT at a predetermined time. A questionnaire consisting of 16 closed-ended questions (with 7-Likert scale response) and two open-ended questions was distributed and verbal consents were obtained before students completed the questionnaire. The closed-ended questions were distributed in eight domains, including ease to use, enjoyment, general attitude, intention to use in the future, sense of immersion, experiential learning, situated learning, and constructivism. Results: A total of 395 responses were received (response rate 56.27%). The Cronbach’s Alpha for all domains ranged from 0.836-0.941. Not more than 5% of total responses indicated disagreement (Likert scale <4) towards all questions. Moreover, no domains with average score below 5 was found. Among the three groups of cohorts, the lowest score in all domains was found in PS group, and this could be related to frequencies of using VRT. Internet connection was acknowledged as the main limitation to implement VRT. Conclusions: The VRT was well received by students without compromising the attainment of the fundamental aspects of experiential learning. Efforts to improve the speed of internet connection should be made to further enhance an optimal VRT implementation.
