Abstract

This study explores the development of students’ key competencies through the integration of virtual reality (VR) in the educational process. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of VR in enhancing cognitive, social, and digital skills. A mixed-method approach was used, combining experimental lessons with surveys and interviews. The results indicate that VR-based learning improves student engagement, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. The findings highlight the potential of VR as a powerful educational tool, contributing to innovative teaching practices and competency-based education.
