    Aprendizaje en Realidad Virtual: impacto en la carga cognitiva y el rendimiento del alumnado universitario
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025-07-31) Cabero Almenara, Julio; Miravete Gracia, María; Palacios Rodríguez, Antonio; Sin departamento asociado
    La Realidad Virtual (RV) se consolida como una herramienta educativa clave, capaz de mejorar la experiencia de aprendizaje mediante entornos inmersivos. En esta investigación, se explora la efectividad de los objetos de aprendizaje en RV en términos de adquisición de conocimientos, percepción estudiantil y carga cognitiva. Participan 132 estudiantes universitarios del Grado en Pedagogía y se emplea un diseño preexperimental pretest-postest, utilizando cuestionarios de elección múltiple y escalas adaptadas para evaluar las dimensiones mencionadas. Se identificaron diferencias significativas entre pretest y postest, indicando una mejora en la adquisición de conocimientos. La carga cognitiva global fue moderada, destacando la carga pertinente como positiva. Estos hallazgos refuerzan la teoría de la carga cognitiva y subrayan la importancia del diseño instruccional en RV. Por tanto, los objetos de aprendizaje en RV, bien diseñados, son herramientas efectivas para facilitar el aprendizaje, aunque es necesario seguir investigando en contextos diversos y con dispositivos más inmersivos.

    The objective of this study was to investigate strategies aimed at enhancing the performance of young taekwondo practitioners in the execution of intricate formal exercises integrated into their training regimen. The study employed virtual reality technology in the form of the FitXR VR fitness app, compatible with Meta Quest 2 VR, to train our taekwondo-poomsae practitioners. The participants were divided into two groups, each comprising 15 practitioners (12-14 years old). Group 1, consisting of both male and female participants, underwent training using traditional training methods (TTP), while Group 2 received instruction through integrated training methods (ITM), also inclusive of male and female participants. The integrated training method (ITM) involved the incorporation of virtual reality technology alongside traditional training techniques. Coaches conducted assessments of practitioners' performance in two stages: initially at the commencement of training (pre-training), and subsequently upon completion of training (post- training). The analysis of results indicated a notable improvement in practitioners' performance with the integrated training method (ITM) when compared to the traditional training method (TTM). Moreover, the integrated training method (ITM) demonstrated a twofold enhancement in practitioners' balancing skills, agility, and endurance in comparison to the traditional training method (TTM). This highlights the efficacy of integrating virtual reality technology into the training process, emphasizing its potential to significantly augment practitioners' overall performance and proficiency in executing complex formal exercises within the domain of taekwondo.

    Therapeutic approach with virtual reality in the phobia of flying: a case study
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025-10) Valdés-Díaz, María; Guillot-Valdés, María; Sin departamento asociado
    Flight phobia is an anxiety disorder whose main symptoms are intense and irrational fears, exposure to which causes high levels of anxiety and consequent avoidance of flying. Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of specific phobias, as patients can confront their fears in a controlled and repetitive manner in a virtual environment, allowing them to learn coping strategies and reduce associated discomfort. The aim of this study is to reduce the anxiety, worry and fear associated with flying through the use of virtual reality. The following is a case study of a 23-year-old woman with a phobia of flying since adolescence. Anxiety occurs during the flight and rarely in the days before. ABA design (pre-treatment-post-test). A semi-structured interview and the STAI, PSQW, EMV and EPAV questionnaires were used to establish baseline, with high scores for trait and state anxiety, worry and fear of flying. An intervention of 8 one-hour sessions was planned, with gradual exposure to virtual reality prior to live exposure. The patient showed a clinically meaningful reduc-tion in her negative emotions associated with flying and was able to fly. VR may be an effective tool in clinical practice for graded exposure in the treatment of fear of flying.

    Uso de la Realidad Virtual Inmersiva en la salud del adulto mayor, Revisión sistemática
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2022) Cuevas Martínez, Karla Iris; Gutiérrez Valverde, Juana Mercedes; Rendón Torres, Luis; Guevara Valtier, Milton Carlos; Flores Peña, Yolanda; Gallegos Cabriales, Esther C.
    Introducción: El aumento del número de adultos mayores trae consigo un incremento de la prevalencia de enfermedades crónicas, que en conjunto con el deterioro asociado al envejecimiento conducen a una disminución temprana de las capacidades físicas y cognitivas. Dentro de esta problemática, la evidencia científica muestra que el uso de herramientas tecnológicas como la realidad virtual inmersiva tiene efectos positivos en la salud física y cognitiva en diversas poblaciones. Objetivo: Recopilar, revisar y analizar las intervenciones que utilizan sistemas de realidad virtual totalmente inmersivos en adultos mayores. Método: Por medio de los lineamientos del checklist PRISMA se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos: PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct y Google académico. La plataforma Web 3.0: Ficheros de Lectura Crítica se utilizó para analizar la calidad de los estudios.
