The concept, characteristic and key technology of the virtual reality have beenintroduced.The necessity and feasibility of the virtual reality in teaching method have been analyzed.On the basis of the relevant theory, the application methods and organizational strategy of thevirtual realityin teaching model have been established.Based on the investigation and study, the application forms of the virtual realityin schooleducation have been summarized, and then the exiting question and correspondingcountermeasure of the virtual reality in education have been discussed. The research in thispaper indicated that the virtual reality environment under the modern teaching theory couldenable the learners on their own initiative to enjoyably study and to enhance the teachingefficiency.
