| dc.description.abstract | Abstract This study aimed to find out the effect of using virtual reality in vocational education to raise the level of academic achievement for students, enhance their skills and motivation to learn, and also keep pace with technological development to plan for the future and manage resources properly for the eleventh-grade students of auto mechanics in Palestine. The researcher used quantitative and qualitative approaches in collecting and analyzing information, as the sample size was 50 students. To ensure academic achievement, the researcher used the pre- and post-exam to compare traditional learning with learning through virtual reality; the results of academic achievement were positive, as the value of the post-exam paired sample correlations was 0.835, and the significance coefficient was 0.00, which indicate an improvement in the academic level of students. Virtual reality has proven its efficiency in enhancing students' skills and raising their motivation to learn through several variables included in the study, namely: 1- EOU: ease of use; 2- USE: usefulness; 3- VRF: virtual reality features; 4- M: motivation; and 5- COB: cognitive benefits. A questionnaire was built based on these variables, and the results were analyzed using the Smart-PLS program. The results confirmed a positive effect of usefulness on motivation, a positive effect of ease of use and VR features on usefulness, and a strong positive effect of motivation on cognitive benefits. In contrast, ease of use and VR features did not positively affect motivation. In light of these results, the researcher recommended the use of virtual reality in technical education because of its positive effects on raising the academic level of students, enhancing their skills, and increasing their motivation to learn, which reflects positively on their abilities and soft skills and facilitate their involvement in the labor market.
