Immersive learning of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in literature from 2020 to 2024

Abstract

This research presents an innovative approach to immersive learning, defining it as an artificial system that simulates key psychological processes, including memory, language, perception, and human intelligence. Within this framework, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as essential reference points for the literature review. A unique aspect of this study is its comprehensive methodology for searching, analyzing, and modeling categories related to immersive learning and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research involved a documentary, transversal, exploratory, and retrospective analysis using a sample of abstracts published in journals indexed in international repositories, along with a keyword search conducted from 2020 to 2024. The findings indicate the presence of awareness nodes, policies, and programs that illustrate the central themes, groupings, and structures of the learning network. The study concludes with a strong recommendation to extend the model for empirical validation and to explore immersive learning scenarios connected to the SDGs in uncertain and contingent contexts, such as during the pandemic. This approach aims to provide a practical tool for educators, psychologists, and professionals in education and sustainable development
