Abstract

The transition toward Industry 4.0 in the global automotive sector has created a significant competency gap in vocational education. This research investigates the impact of Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) on learning outcomes and student acceptance among undergraduate auto motive vocational students. Utilizing a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design (n = 35), we measured cognitive mastery and psychomotor procedural accuracy alongside technology acceptance via the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement, with mean scores increasing from 62.43 to 84.14 (p < 0.001). The average Normalized Gain (N-Gain) was 0.58, indicating medium effectiveness. This study concludes that immersive VR effectively bridges the”Spatial Visualization Gap” inherent in previous Augmented Reality (AR) interventions, offering a high-fidelity environment that enhances procedural mastery for job readiness in the modern automotive landscape.
