Virtual reality technologies in the training of thermal power specialists

Abstract

The current stage of development of society is characterized by rapid digitalization and the emergence of new technologies, which requires corresponding changes in the vocational education system. Training of specialists in thermal power engineering requires the introduction of innovative teaching methods that will ensure the formation of practical skills and digital competencies at a high level. Traditional teaching methods are often limited in creating realistic experience for students, especially when it comes to mastering complex technical operations or working with equipment. This raises the problem of finding effective means of modeling production situations in a safe educational environment.
