| Abstract | The research presents the benefits of integration of Virtual Reality technology as element of the challenge-based teaching methodology in educational settings to optimize student learning outcomes within the Smart City program. The study aims to explore the synergistic effects of combining immersive Virtual Reality environments with structured challenges as a pedagogical approach. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations and practical implications of implementing the innovative educational strategy. The challenge-based approach engaged students in authentic problem-solving scenarios, promoting critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. The Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies were used particularly for visualizing outcomes students achieve solving real life challenges. In addressing transportation challenges, the article details the creation of environmental and transport models, encompassing aspects like traffic jams, road infrastructure changes, pollution, COVID impact and the influence of land use. Additionally, the article delves into the citizen's vulnerability challenge within smart cities, focusing on climate change impacts on urban inhabitants. © 2024 Owner/Author. |
