2 RESEARCH SUMMARY

Since entering the 21st century, information

technology has brought profound changes to

education informatization. The hegemony of

traditional teaching mode has gradually declined, and

a new teaching mode, Blended Learning, has emerged

as the times require. After years of research and

practice, the theory, methods and strategies of blended

learning are becoming more and more perfect. More

and more schools and enterprises have adopted the

mixed mode to carry out teaching activities or staff

training. The American survey report and the

empirical research on classroom teaching, network

teaching and mixed teaching carried out in the training

field, basic education, higher education and public

institution training show that mixed teaching has great

advantages. The president of the University of

Pennsylvania also pointed out that blended learning is

the most important development trend of higher

education. Neither classroom teaching nor online self-

study can achieve the desired results.

Mixed teaching refers to a strategy that combines

face-to-face teaching, online learning and practice

under the guidance of various learning theories and

under the guidance of teaching objectives, according

to the learning content, learning environment,

teaching methods, learners and teachers' own

conditions. It effectively integrates face-to-face

teaching and online learning, and comprehensively

uses online learning to reduce costs and improve

efficiency.

Mixed teaching is a new trend in the development

of international educational technology. That is,

combine the advantages of traditional face-to-face

teaching and online E-learning, and build a large

number of online learning videos for students to learn

independently with the help of a highly interactive

online learning platform; At the same time, through

face-to-face classroom interactive discussion, students

can answer questions and solve doubts, and cultivate

students' comprehensive ability (Lu 2010)

2.1 Research Status of Hybrid

Teaching Mode Based on VR

Simulation Technology Abroad

Since the first e-learning paper published in the

American Training Journal in 1996, educational

technicians and training workers have begun to study

online learning and training, and gradually established

a theoretical system on e-learning. However,

according to the report of the American Society for

Training & Development in 2001, 80% of enterprise

training is still in the form of traditional classroom

teaching, and the development of e-learning is not

ideal. With this report as a sign, e-learning has

gradually entered a low tide. People begin to reflect on

learning in the technological environment. Blended

learning, which combines online and offline learning,

has gradually entered people's vision. With the

deepening of research in the past ten years, mixed

teaching abroad has now been widely recognized and

on the right track. The theoretical research on mixed

learning has become more mature and has been widely

used in foreign universities and enterprises.

Many professors in American colleges and

universities have started to use blended learning. They

use blended learning mode for one or two classes in

the weekly course. They let learners go online for self-

study in dormitories or libraries, and cultivate learners'

ability to acquire knowledge, analyze and solve

problems, and innovate. Through the mixed learning

practice, it is found that the participation of learners

has increased, the team cooperation has become more

harmonious, and the form of traditional classroom

teaching has changed. It is no longer just a teacher's

lecture, but more a place for dialogue and interaction

between teachers and students. In addition, it has also

promoted teachers' cross campus cooperation. By

referencing learning resources with teachers from

other schools, the curriculum content has become

more professional and diversified (S. S. Fisher, M.

McGreevy, J. Humphries, W. Robinett, 1987).

It is verified that there are many theoretical and

practical researches on the research of mixed teaching

mode based on information technology abroad.

However, although VR technology appeared earlier,

the VR technology and supporting equipment really

matured later. The application accumulation period of

VR technology and equipment came in 2016, and

various technical equipment made sudden advances.

This year's application technology burst, which is

called the first year of VR application. Separate VR

simulation technology and hybrid teaching mode have

been studied more abroad, but the research on the

integration of VR simulation technology and hybrid

teaching practice mode is less.

2.2 Research Status of Hybrid

Teaching Mode Based on VR

Simulation Technology in China

In 2003, Professor Zhu Zhiting's paper "Hybrid

Learning in Distance Education" systematically

introduced hybrid learning for the first time in China.

Over the past ten years, blended learning has gained

increasing popularity in China, and its research has

spread throughout school education, in-service

training, adult education and other levels and fields.

From the source of researchers, because mixed

learning research requires a large amount of capital

injection and advanced technical support, as well as

the operation of academic groups with rich academic

background, most researchers come from the central

and eastern regions with developed economy and

higher education, especially in the Yangtze River

Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing Tianjin, Wuhan and

other surrounding areas where universities gather.

NMDME 2022 - The International Conference on New Media Development and Modernized Education

From the perspective of discipline distribution and

literature sources, the research focuses on nine major

disciplines, namely, educational theory and

management, computer software and educational

application, foreign languages and characters,

secondary education, higher education, computer

hardware technology, adult education and special

education, vocational education, medical education

and medicine, which are divided into two categories:

ontology research and discipline application research.

Among them, the ontology research of hybrid learning

accounts for a large proportion. Literature source

journals are mainly educational technology and

distance education journals, and computer science and

adult education journals also have a high number of

papers.

From the perspective of research content and

practical research, the basic research on blended

learning is generally weak, focusing on the definition,

characteristics and significance value. Except for a

few articles with high academic quality and influence,

the impact and significance of other studies are

relatively limited. Only positioning research in the

field of education limits researchers' research vision;

The construction of resource platform and

environment shows the trend of informal evolution,

but there is no standardized research in relevant

research, which may affect the universality of learning

resources; The development of hybrid learning system

design is diversified and professional; School

education still accounts for a large proportion in the

application research of blended learning. In recent

years, teacher professional development, enterprise

training, adult learning and other fields have also made

great progress, and the proportion of each application

field is becoming balanced; There are many studies on

the construction of learning models and curriculum

design, and few empirical studies on effectiveness.

The application of blended learning to curriculum

reform has also gradually attracted attention (Virtual

reality technology, 1995).

The author searched and found that there were

many sub item studies and published papers on the

application of VR virtual simulation technology and

hybrid teaching mode. In the past 10 years, VR virtual

simulation technology, as a new thing in the

information age, although the concept of VR virtual

simulation appeared earlier, due to the immaturity of

research and development of VR virtual simulation

technology equipment at home and abroad, only one

paper on the combination of VR virtual simulation

technology and hybrid learning and specific research

and application of system analysis was found in China

(Jorge Martín-Gutiérrez a, José Luís Saorín a, B M C

, et al., 2010), and it was published in 2006.

As the accounting and big data majors in

vocational colleges started late, on the one hand, the

lack of investment in practical teaching conditions in

various schools led to the low quality of talent

training. In recent years, the enrollment scale of

accounting and big data majors in various colleges and

universities has been expanding, but the construction

of school running conditions, teachers and other

hardware facilities has lagged behind. However, the

prerequisite for good teaching effect is good practice

conditions, the use of hybrid teaching information

means and strong teachers. Therefore, the lack of

teaching conditions and the backwardness of teaching

methods have caused poor teaching effect and the

decline of talent training quality. Employers have

higher and higher requirements for the quality and

ability of talents, which will inevitably require us to

further change the existing teaching mode. Therefore,

the key to solving the problem is how to use

information conditions, combine virtual simulation

technology and hybrid teaching mode to change the

existing traditional classroom teaching form, improve

teaching efficiency, and cultivate talents through

various ways (Kartiko, Kavakli, Cheng, 2010).

3 ANALYSIS OF

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

3.1 Build an Innovative Teaching Mode

Based on VR Virtual Reality

Simulation Technology and Hybrid

Teaching

The virtual 3D simulation technology is integrated

into the teaching to assist the teaching, so that students

can learn at any time and anywhere. Teachers in the

classroom explain and answer questions, and conduct

simulation training, so as to improve the efficiency of

classroom teaching, cultivate students' interest in

learning, and lay a foundation for the study of

Research on the Reform of Professional Mixed Teaching Mode in Vocational Colleges Based on VR Simulation Technology

subsequent core professional courses. The VR virtual

reality simulation technology is combined with the

hybrid teaching mode to greatly mobilize the

enthusiasm of students.

3.2 Build Highly Simulated Virtual

Environment and VR Operation

Scene for Simulated Training

In the field of accounting and big data, for a long time,

people have had to use abstract concepts to express

very rich content, and use relatively abstract graphics

and concise language to describe complex scenes, so

as to transfer a lot of information. However, this way

of information processing and transmission is very

difficult to communicate because it is affected by the

occupation, knowledge structure and understanding

ability of the information receiver.

Cultivate the professional skills of students

majoring in accounting and big data by promoting

reality and coupling reality with fiction. The

development of VR virtual simulation technology

provides us with an extremely effective means to

overcome this difficulty. Virtual reality is used to

achieve an immersive feeling, such as bank tax

settlement training, and finally forms a three-

dimensional information space where people can

immerse themselves, go beyond it, enter and exit

freely, and interact. VR technology provides users

with a new type of human-computer interface, which

not only enables participants to feel the realistic

existence of site scenes or model entities, but also

makes real-time and accurate responses to

participants' movements and operations, replacing

actual construction training, which is very safe and

highly efficient.

3.3 Innovate the Resource Sharing

Mode and Form a Flexible

Application Feature of "Instant

Teaching, Learning, Practice and

Examination", Which Can Fully

Meet the Needs of Studentsbuild a

High-Quality Education and

Teaching Resource Platform Based

on VR Virtual Reality Technology

With the help of desktop computers, laptops, PADs,

smartphones and other forms of terminal equipment,

students can make full use of advanced information

technology means such as scanning two-dimensional

code, voice recognition, body recognition technology

to carry out online "teaching learning practice

examination" without the number of people, time and

space constraints, to meet the experimental training

teaching requirements of multi disciplines, multi

majors and different levels. Develop APP site

resources (text, pictures, teaching videos) and

Internet+teaching materials. Students can register

online, or scan the QR code of teaching materials to

access the Internet anytime and anywhere for online

learning, chapter testing, and mid-term and final

exams.

3.4 Build a High-Quality Education

and Teaching Resource Platform

Based on VR Virtual Reality

Technology

It breaks the traditional graphic teaching method, uses

the online and offline three-dimensional interactive

teaching method, intuitively displays the teaching

content, and provides a teaching platform for VR

simulation teaching and training. Synchronize

learning and practice, master the content learned in a

short time, and improve the classroom efficiency

through real-time interactive pictures. Use Sketchup,

3dsMAX and other software to develop and make 3D

model resource library for online and offline use to

assist teaching and improve classroom teaching effect.

Focus on the development of rural industries, promote

the deep coupling of talent chain, ecological chain,

governance chain and industrial chain, accelerate the

flow and aggregation of resource elements to rural

areas, help consolidate and expand the achievements

of poverty alleviation, and promote the overall

revitalization of rural areas. Focus on the development

4 CONCLUSIONS

For the major of big data and accounting in vocational

colleges, this research has defined the professional

teaching system, built a hybrid teaching mode based

on VR simulation technology, developed a suitable

teaching platform for theoretical and practical

teaching and established a teaching resource library,

which can be expanded, and will play a very important

role in promoting the sustainable development of

students. For each vocational school, it has determined

NMDME 2022 - The International Conference on New Media Development and Modernized Education

the training objectives of professional teaching and

constructed a reasonable education and teaching

model, which plays an important role in guiding and

promoting the educational reform of each vocational

college and can promote the improvement of the level

of running a school of its own specialty. The students

majoring in big data and accounting in vocational

colleges are the biggest beneficiaries of the research

results of this topic. As a scientific and reasonable

training sequence of hybrid teaching mode based on

VR simulation technology has been established, it

helps them understand the content that is difficult to

read in the learning process, conduct comprehensive

simulation training operation and cognition, and

improve teaching efficiency and interest. Compared

with the past, they can learn more knowledge and

skills in the same time, learn more useful vocational

skills and knowledge, strengthen professional ability,

and have stronger competitiveness in employment.

Enterprises are also the direct beneficiaries of the

research results of this topic, because more high-

quality skilled talents will promote enterprises and

promote the development of enterprises and local

economy.
