Abstract:
Virtual reality (VR) technologies have shown promising results in the field of education. However, the number of studies
directly examining the impact of VR technologies on digital literacy in primary education is limited. This study demonstrates
the benefits of VR technologies and the potential of resources developed based on VR technology to support digital literacy
acquisition in primary schools. The article conducted a study to examine the role of VR technologies in the development of
the digital literacy of students in grades 2–4. The study involved 72 students from schools in Kazakhstan, divided into
experimental and control groups. The results showed that the digital competencies of the experimental group improved
compared to the control group. Students in the experimental group demonstrated improved problem-solving and information
search abilities, indicating the effectiveness of using VR technologies. The results highlight the importance of implementing
immersive learning technologies in primary education. These results demonstrate the potential of virtual reality to change
primary education by developing basic digital skills, providing a basis for future research in this area.
