Abstract: The reform of new engineering education has promoted the development of adaptive learning. Previous relevant research does not paid enough attention on the students’ subjective initiatives, and most of the existing researches cannot provide highly personalized interaction experience. To address these problems, a new method of adaptive virtual reality interaction based on learning style model is proposed by this study. This method designs a learning style identification mode suitable for the virtual interactive environment that identifies the learning style by analyzing the subjective and objective data of students, thereby continuously adapting the virtual interactive environment. By this way, students can be taught in a targeted manner and the goal of “teaching students in accordance with their aptitude” can finally be achieved. In order to verify the feasibility of this method, this study constructs a set of virtual reality interaction system for engineering education and carries out a controlled experiment. Experimental results show that this new method improves the accuracy of identifying learning style and has a positive impact on learners’ learning motivation and academic performance.

摘要： 新工科教育的改革推进了自适应学习的发展，以往的自适应方式对学习者的主观能动性的重视不足，且大部分已有研究无法提供个性化程度较高的交互体验。针对这些问题，该研究基于学习风格模型提出了一种自适应式虚拟现实交互的新方法。该方法设计了适用于虚拟交互环境的学习风格判断方式，通过分析学习者的主客观数据来判断其学习风格，由此对交互环境进行持续的自适应调整，从而有的放矢地对学习者实施差异化教学，达到“因材施教”的目的。为了验证该方法的可行性，该研究构建了一套面向工科教育的虚拟现实交互系统，并开展了对照实验。实验结果显示，新方法改善了判断学习风格的精准度，对学习者的学习动机和学习成绩有着积极的影响。
