Aims: In this study we examined the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in oral organs assessment training in speech therapy students.
Method: The population of this study included 35 fifth term students of speech therapy in Jundishapur Medical Science University of Ahvaz. The first group was 18 students entering university in 1394 passed oral function assessment course through traditional training method. The second group was 17 students entering university in 1395 passed this course through traditional training method with Virtual Reality. 3D (Three-Dimensional) glasses and a monitor are the tools applied in Virtual Reality technique allowing the student to touch the oral organs and experience various oral functions recognition.
Findings: The first group was 20-22 years old (20.35±2.14) and the second group was 20-22 years old (20.18±3.06). The mean and standard deviation of the final score in students used Virtual Reality was 18.57±1.31 and for the students used traditional method were 14.35±2.15. Independent-T test showed a meaningful difference between the two groups (p<0.001).
Discussion: Using Virtual Reality in classroom resulted in an increase in students' scores. Hence taking into account the great importance of teaching method, its effect on the society and health organization, it is necessary for the education system to use a technology which increases teaching quality and creates more effective learning in students.
