Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming educational outcomes across disciplines by offering immersive, interactive learning experiences. This review explores VR's applications in STEM, humanities, and medical education, highlighting its potential to enhance engagement, understanding, and accessibility. Grounded in learning theories like constructivism, experiential learning, and situated learning, VR provides students with hands-on experiences that simulate real-world scenarios, enabling them to grasp complex concepts and develop practical skills. In STEM education, VR enables virtual labs, simulations, and 3D visualizations, allowing students to explore scientific phenomena and engineering designs in a safe, interactive environment. In the humanities and social sciences, VR offers virtual field trips, historical recreations, and language immersion, making abstract concepts tangible and fostering deeper understanding. In medical education, VR simulates surgical procedures and anatomy, providing students with realistic training without the risks of real-world practice. Despite its potential, VR faces challenges such as accessibility, technical limitations, and pedagogical integration. High costs and technical constraints can limit its widespread use, while ensuring inclusivity for students with disabilities remains a priority. Educators must also develop effective strategies for integrating VR into curricula, ensuring it enhances rather than distracts from learning objectives. Future directions suggest the need for research on VR's long-term educational impacts and the development of advanced technologies to improve interactivity and accessibility. As VR technology evolves, it holds the promise of revolutionizing education by creating more engaging, effective, and inclusive learning environments. The integration of AI with VR could further personalize learning experiences, adapting content to individual needs. Overall, VR offers a transformative potential in education, but addressing current challenges is essential to fully realize its benefits.Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming educational outcomes across disciplines by offering immersive, interactive learning experiences.
