Abstract
The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to develop and evaluate a method for teaching field dependent (FD) learners using a Virtual Reality Learning Environment with Metacognitive Strategies (VRLEMS). The effect on student learning was measured using pretest/post-test and compared to a group of FD learners taught in a traditional lecture environment. The result revealed that FD learners' learning increased by a statistically significant amount after participation in the VRLEMS and they had a statistically significant higher achievement than those learning in a traditional classroom.
