Abstract:

In order to make up for the deficiency of VR technology in safety education theory support and practical effect tests, the relevant influencing factors affecting the effect of engineering safety education were taken as the entry point. SEM was used to establish an analytical framework for the influencing factors of safety education and the cognitive experiments were carried out to test the effect. The results show that the frequency of education, the mode of education, individual initiative, fun and comfort are the main factors affecting the effectiveness of construction safety education. The hybrid mode of "VR + lecture" is the most effective educational method at present, but the use of VR technology still requires personnel assistance. The optimal frequency of education is recommended to be less than 30 days. The main factors of fun, comfort are significantly positively correlated with educational effect, but comfort is more important in the application of construction safety education with VR technology.

Key words: virtual reality (VR) technology, construction safety education, education effect, cognitive test, structural equation modeling (SEM), impact factors
