Abstract

This research investigates the integration of immersive and interactive learning experiences in military education, specifically focusing on enhancing weapon handling training. Traditional methods such as lectures and simulations often struggle to engage today's digital-native cadets and adequately prepare them for the complexities of modern combat scenarios. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of game-based learning approaches, utilizing Unreal Engine 5.0, to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in military training. The primary objective is to assess how immersive and interactive learning experiences can enhance the training outcomes for military students, particularly in weapon handling proficiency. To achieve this, the research will conduct a comprehensive review of existing literature and practices related to game-based learning in military contexts, specifically examining its application to weapon training. Additionally, the study will develop and implement educational modules within a gaming environment to educate military students on various types of weaponry, including pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, and assault rifles, tailored for different combat scenarios. The effectiveness of the developed game will be evaluated through qualitative assessments of combat skills, tactical decision-making abilities, and overall readiness, supplemented by quantitative analyses to measure specific improvements. By advancing military education methodologies with these objectives, the research aims to better equip cadets with the skills and knowledge necessary for effective performance in contemporary warfare environments.
