Özet
Climate change education (CCE) has a complex structure that includes certain pedagogical, methodological, and interdisciplinary elements, highlighting some challenges to scrutinize. To address these challenges, it is crucial to explore the potential of advanced technologies, such as immersive virtual reality (IVR), which can concretize, visualize, and make complex climate change phenomena more accessible. Despite its promise, IVR remains underexplored in CCE as a pedagogical method, with limited practical applications, pedagogical frameworks, or empirical outcomes. This systematic review across Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, and Science Direct databases examines 19 studies that integrate IVR with climate change content, evaluating them from an educational standpoint across technological, pedagogical, and content components. Findings reveal that IVR can be a powerful tool for CCE when combined …
