随着国家对应用型人才缺口的增加，要求高校更加注重学生实践、创新能力的培养。传统的课堂讲授和简单的规范化实验操作方式，由于存在着认知过程沉浸感低、理论知识过于抽象、学习和实践过程过于枯燥等问题，不仅无法调动学生的学习兴趣，更达不到培养学生的实践能力和激发学生的创新意识的目的，因此也无法胜任“新工科”建设对人才培养的要求和新时期国家“教育现代化”的建设需求。虚拟现实(VR)技术作为一种新兴的现代信息化产物，不仅能够为使用者提供一个三维空间的虚拟世界，更能够在感官上让人产生身临其境的感觉，从而从视觉、听觉和身体感知等方面增强学习的沉浸感和趣味性，是未来最具潜力的现代教学手段之一。将VR技术融入《土木工程材料》课程的教学环节，可以通过对时空和情景参数的控制，将土木工程材料在使用过程中，因受到使用环境因素影响发生微观物理化学反应，并在其微观结构、力学性能、耐久性等方面出现相关性变化，在短时间内通过第一视角以3D动画的形式，生动形象的呈现在参与在虚拟训练学生的面前，给学生接近真实的体验感。这种教学模式不仅能增加课程趣味性、沉浸感，而且能够起到与真实试验场景接近的训练效果，使学生在VR训练过程中自主将理论知识与实践过程充分融合，起到加深学生对事物本质的认知、激发学生创新思维的目的，从而进一步提高学生的实践能力和创新能力。

With the increase in the country's shortage of applied talents, colleges, and universities are required to pay more attention to the cultivation of students' practical and innovative abilities. Traditional classroom teaching and simple standardized experimental operation methods not only cannot arouse students' interest in learning but also hardly can cultivate students' practical ability and stimulate students' innovative consciousness because of low immersion in the cognitive process, too abstract in theoretical knowledge, too boring learning and practice process and other problems. Therefore, it cannot meet the requirements of talent training for the construction of "new engineering" and the construction needs of "education modernization" in the new era. As an emerging modern information product, virtual reality (VR) technology can not only provide users with a three-dimensional virtual world, but also make people feel immersive in the sense, so as to enhance the immersion and fun of learning from visual, auditory, and physical perception, and is one of the most potent modern teaching methods in the future. When VR technology is integrated into the teaching of the "Civil Engineering Materials" course, the change of the civil engineering materials in microstructure, mechanical properties, durability, and other aspects is vividly presented in front of students through the first perspective of 3D animation to give students a sense of real experience via the control of time and space in the teaching and virtual experiment training process, which is caused by the micro-physical and chemical reactions under the influence of the environment. This teaching mode not only increases the interest and immersion of the course but also plays a training effect close to the real experiment scene, enabling students to fully integrate theoretical knowledge and practical process independently in the VR experience process, to deepen their cognition of the nature of things and stimulate their innovative thinking, further to improve their practical and innovative ability.
