Abstract

This paper develops descriptive quantitative research of the assessments of virtual reality (VR) technology, used as a didactic tool, by a sample of 712 university professors in Mexico. For this purpose, a validated Likert-type questionnaire was used as an instrument, the responses to which were statistically analyzed. The results obtained show that professors in Mexico report low levels of digital skills, but high valuations of VR. These ratings depend strongly on the professors’ area of knowledge. In this sense, the biggest gap is between Engineering professors, who value VR better, and Humanities professors, who value it worse. There are also gender gaps and gaps due to the digital generation of the participants in the assessments made, whose behavior is also different according to the area of knowledge. As a result, some recommendations are provided to try to reduce the gaps found.
