Abstract

Science is a subject that many students find challenging due to its abstract concepts. Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) technology has been shown to enhance the effectiveness of science lessons compared to traditional methods. This study examines the development and trends of IVR in science education through bibliometric analysis. The data was collected using an electronic search on June 12th, 2023, with the keywords “immersive virtual reality OR IVR” AND “science education.” The findings reveal a growing number of publications on IVR in science education, with a noticeable gap in studies during 2018 and 2019. The work by Liu R. et al. stands out as the most cited article in the field. Keywords like "immersive virtual learning", "IVR", and "science education" continue to dominate the research landscape. This review highlights the recent progress in this area and identifies potential directions for future research, offering valuable insights into the role of IVR in improving science education.
