To determine the need of contemporary immersive approaches (Virtual Reality) in teaching and training at medical sector. The main objective of this study was to explore the effects of text, video and immersive technologies learning methodologies for participants' learning in public and private medical colleges and universities of Pakistan.
In this quantitative research 87 medical students of 4 year from three public and five private medical colleges and universities participated. A laparoscopy operation was selected in consultation with senior medical consultants for this experiment. The experimental material was arranged in virtual reality, video and text based learning. At completion of each of which, participants completed a questionnaire about learning motivation and learning competency through the different mediums.
Statistical t-test was selected for the analysis of this study. By comparing the mean values of virtual reality, video, and text based learning methodologies in medical academics; result of virtual reality is at top of others. All performed model are statistically significant (P=0.000) and results can be applied at all population.
Through this research, we contribute to medical students learning methodologies. In medical studies, both theoretical and practical expertise has a vital role, while repetition of hands-on practice can improve young doctors' professional competency. Virtual reality was found best for medical students in both learning motivation and learning competency. Medical students and educationist may select virtual reality as new learning methodology for curriculum learning.
确定当代沉浸式方法（虚拟现实）在医学领域教学与培训中的需求。本研究的主要目的是探讨文本、视频和沉浸式技术学习方法对巴基斯坦公立和私立医学院校参与者学习的影响。
在这项定量研究中，来自三所公立和五所私立医学院校的87名四年级医学生参与其中。经与资深医学顾问协商，选择了腹腔镜手术用于本实验。实验材料以虚拟现实、视频和文本为基础进行学习安排。每种学习方式结束后，参与者通过不同媒介完成一份关于学习动机和学习能力的问卷。
本研究分析选用统计t检验。通过比较医学学术中虚拟现实、视频和文本学习方法的平均值；虚拟现实的结果优于其他方式。所有执行的模型均具有统计学意义（P = 0.000），结果可应用于所有人群。
通过本研究，我们为医学生的学习方法做出了贡献。在医学学习中，理论和实践专业知识都起着至关重要的作用，而反复进行实践操作可以提高年轻医生的专业能力。在学习动机和学习能力方面，虚拟现实被发现对医学生最为适用。医学生和教育工作者可选择虚拟现实作为课程学习的新方法。
