As an innovative educational tool, virtual reality technology is profoundly influencing the way teaching and learning are conducted. This paper first outlines the definition and characteristics of virtual reality technology and its theoretical foundations in education, including constructivist learning theory and multiple intelligences theory. By analyzing teaching applications in different subject areas and incorporating actual data tables, we explore the advantages of virtual reality technology in enhancing student satisfaction, engagement, and learning outcomes. The study finds that compared to traditional teaching methods, the teaching approach incorporating virtual reality technology increases the average score by 13% and improves the excellent rate by 25%. However, the application of virtual reality technology in education also faces challenges such as high hardware costs and insufficient teacher training. To address these issues, this paper proposes solutions like enhancing teacher training and developing high-quality teaching resources, and looks into the future development of virtual reality technology in education.
