Enhancing Students Financial Decision-Making and Financial Skills with Virtual Reality-Based Learning Media

Abstract

The rapid development of technology has forced educators to innovate in creating learning media. One such innovation is the use of virtual reality technology. This study aims to develop virtual reality (VR)-based learning media for teaching accounting and financial institutions fundamentals, implemented through the Artsteps multimedia application in the form of a virtual exhibition. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model consisting of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The results show that the use of VR learning media through the Artsteps multimedia application in teaching accounting and financial institutions fundamentals has a significant positive impact. This virtual exhibition can increase student motivation and participation in the learning process. In addition, the use of VR learning media also successfully provides a deeper understanding of the material being taught. Thus, this learning media innovation is expected to make a positive contribution to the world of education, especially in teaching accounting and financial institutions fundamentals.
