According to the findings of the study, most of 9 social studies teachers knew about the concept of virtual museum and benefited from virtual museum applications in their classes, and 4 of them had never heard the concept of virtual reality before. 5 teachers stated that they had only heard of the concept but had no experience before and 360DVVMA could be used in the classes.
