Abstract

ABSTRACT Background of study: Physics, particularly the topic of Particle Motion Dynamics, is often considered difficult by students due to its abstract nature, which requires deep visual understanding and complex mathematical applications. VR technology can offer a solution by creating immersive and interactive learning experiences, which are expected to strengthen students' understanding of these concepts Aims and scope of paper: This research aims to analyze the use of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in physics learning, focusing on the utilization of the Kuula platform to enhance the understanding of the concept of Particle Motion Dynamics in 11th-grade high school students. Methods: In this study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore literature trends related to the use of VR in physics education, by examining articles related to the Kuula platform and particle motion dynamics through Scopus data (2020–2025). Result: The analysis results show that although the use of VR in education has been widely implemented, the utilization of the Kuula platform, particularly in teaching abstract physics, is still limited. Furthermore, this research identifies the main challenges in adopting VR technology, including educator resistance and existing resource limitations. Conclusion: Overall, these findings underscore the importance of innovation in physics education through VR technology to enhance students' conceptual understanding, and suggest the need for further research to optimize the implementation of Kuula-based VR in the educational curriculum.
