Abstract

The integration of technology as an educational tool is essential across all educational stages. In this context, virtual reality has emerged as a powerful tool in recent years. Despite its prominence, there is limited research demonstrating its effectiveness in Secondary Education. To address this gap, a meta-analysis was conducted to explore and define the influence of virtual reality on the academic performance of secondary school students. The main results reveal a positive impact on academic performance, especially in short-term interventions, mirroring findings in other educational stages. However, the lack of clarity in the scientific literature regarding the overall impact of virtual reality interventions on students' academic performance in this specific stage is emphasized. This finding underscores the need for more detailed and conclusive research to better inform educational practices in the use of virtual reality in Secondary Education.
