War from the Perspective of Both Offenders and Victims: Lesson Plan Proposal using VR Learning Materials

Abstract

This study evaluates the use of virtual reality (VR) learning materials on a table device about the Pearl Harbor attack in World War II. It proposes a classroom application for the VR learning material about the attack and the atomic bomb in Nagasaki, providing learners with the perspective of both an offender and victim in war. Another finding was that users experienced no problems with the VR learning material interface. This study contributes to peace education as it evaluates an opportunity to enhance interest and motivation in learning about peace and war.
