Abstract
The work described in this paper is a case study, which involved 3 computer science teachers and 29 students from secondary school programming course, from 3 high schools. Informed consent was obtained from the students (those of legal age and the rest from their Parents and Guardians). In this initial phase of the course, it is important to know if the students are motivated to learn how to program and model objects, on the other hand it is intend that the students have a learning experience immersed in a 3D environment to evaluate the impact of this strategy in their willingness to learn. To carry out this study, the following research question was formulated: What is the student’s perception about learning 3D programming and modelling immersed in a virtual environment? Two questionnaires were applied, a pre-test before the intervention and a post-test, immediately after the intervention. The results proved to be promising, having verified that these environments allow students to collaborate and learn in an intuitive and interactive way.
