and Education: A Review of Current Trends and Future DirectionsAbstractThe construction sector has experienced significant technological advancements in recent years,with Building Information Modeling (BIM) playing a crucial role in enhancing project efficiencyand collaboration. This study investigates the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) in construction,emphasizing its potential to revolutionize various aspects of the building process, includingdesign, planning, project management, and stakeholder collaboration. VR empowersstakeholders by enabling informed decision-making, issue detection, and operationaloptimization through real-time visualization and simulation in immersive 3D environments.Meanwhile, BIM provides a

This technology has been employed in therapeutic contexts, where immersivesimulations assist patients in surmounting phobias and fears [3]. Rizzo et al. [4] investigated virtualreality as a mechanism for military training, specifically in combat simulation and stress-induceddecision-making, concluding that virtual reality facilitates effective, immersive training thatimproves readiness and situational awareness without real-world hazards.

For the intercultural goals setting, a rubric was used withcategories for goal setting, progress and reflection, and application and future planning, scoredon a 1 to 4 scale. After the reflections were scored, we calculated the descriptive statistics forteam effectiveness (TE), team regulation (TR) and intercultural competence (IC).

Consequently, the instructor could only provide feedback on the technical aspects of theimplementation, and most of the feedback was summative. With the recent establishment of anengineering education degree program, the opportunity arose for providing the programmingstudents with a meaningful client-driven design experience.

It begins with a stage of concrete experience,which serves as the foundation for learning, and is then followed by reflective observation, inwhich the learner intentionally reflects on the concrete experience, abstract conceptualization, inwhich they generalize what they have learned, and a planning stage in which they plan for the nextconcrete experience. These steps are
