20.500.12556/ReVIS-13419 The Virtual reality as an innovative therapeutic tool in primary schools The research paper examines the use of virtual reality (VR) as an innovative therapeutic tool to reduce school-related anxiety for children in primary school. It focuses on simulating stressful school scenarios (such as entering a new school, finding a classroom, or speaking in public) in a safe and controlled environment under the guidance of a therapist. The study aims to evaluate how effective VR is in lowering anxiety levels and to explore therapists' views towards the use of virtual reality as a therapeutic tool. Findings indicate that VR therapy can significantly reduce anxiety while also enhancing social skills and boosting self-confidence among pupils. Although therapists see VR as a valuable tool, they highlight the need for clearer guidelines to effectively incorporate it into therapeutic practices. The research highlights the importance of tailoring VR content to the needs of children with various learning and social challenges. Despite these challenges, VR represents an important step forward in therapeutic approaches, as it allows students to gradually adapt to stressful situations without pressure from the real world. virtual reality school anxiety primary education therapy mental health virtualna resničnost šolska anksioznost osnovnošolsko izobraževanj terapije mentalno zdravje true true false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-03-26 16:22:19 2026-03-26 16:22:19 2026-03-27 03:17:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 24. 3. 2026; Str.
