| Abstract | Purpose: Sustainability is one of the global challenges, individuals and businesses need to change their behavior and consumption patterns to move towards sustainable development. This is not possible without planning for education and related knowledge transfer. On the other hand, disruptive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) have revolutionized the field of education. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of holding traditional training courses and VR-based training courses on sustainable behavior. Design/Methodology/Approach: It is a quasi-experimental study, in which pretest-posttest design and control group are used. The statistical population includes students of one of the Iranian universities. A total of 105 students were randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group (35 students in each group). Experimental group 1 underwent a training course using VR and Experimental group 2 received a traditional training course. At first, a pre-test was performed and after completing the eight-session period (two 1-h sessions per week), the post-test was conducted again for the groups. Findings: The results of analysis of variance test show that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of sustainable behaviors in the post-test phase in the two experimental groups and the control group. Using Tukey's test, it was found that the scores of sustainable behavior were different among three groups in pairs. That is, holding a training course as well as using VR has been effective on sustainable behavior. Environmental policymakers and planners can use technologies such as VR to teach environmental issues to create a culture of sustainability and sustainable development, in addition to training and educational courses. Originality/Value: Contribution of this study shows that the use of VR can be effective in learning sustainable behavior. Also, holding training courses is a way to change the consumption pattern and behavior of people to maintain the environment and sustainability. (As Provided). |
