Sažetak
Teachers around the globe are constantly facing new challenges. They have to professionally develop themselves to be able to teach new generations of students. The traditional classroom teaching and learning environment was especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The teachers’ and students’ reality changed and education shifted to online teaching. To make teaching and learning more effective and interesting, teachers started using different approaches. One of the innovative approaches in teaching is immersive technology. It can be used in life, but virtual and augmented reality can also be used in education. It can be applied in all school subjects and on all educational levels. This paper examines the differences between virtual and augmented reality in education, as augmented reality is a more recent technology than virtual reality, and analyses attitudes of teachers towards using virtual and augmented reality in educational purposes. The research was conducted through surveys. The sample consisted of primary and secondary school teachers in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the quantitative research were analysed by descriptive statistics. Immersive technology could be used in education because teaching methods should be adapted to 21st century learners.
