Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of virtual reality (VR)-based privacy education on 4th grade students' privacy awareness (PA) and ability to say no (SN) levels. The study was conducted in a primary school affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in a province in the Eastern Anatolia Region between November 2024 and May 2025 with a pretest/posttest control group. The population of the study consists of 4th grade students studying in primary schools in the province. The school where the data were collected was determined by lottery method among the schools that met the sample size.In the G\*Power analysis, it was calculated that 88 students would be sufficient, but the study was completed by including 97 students. The experimental (S=46) and control groups (S=51) were determined by lottery. Students in the experimental group were given privacy training using Peeq SC-AI05 virtual reality (VR) goggles. Child Descriptive Information Form, Privacy Awareness Scale for Primary School Students (PAS) and Ability to Say No Scale for Children (NS) were used as data collection tools.Data were analyzed with SPSS V26 program. Ethical principles were adhered to during the research process.

The experimental group was shown a video with virtual reality application for 15 minutes in an empty classroom environment determined in the primary school at a time and in a way that would not disrupt the lessons. Then, verbal expression, question-answer and feedback were given for 10 minutes. After this training session, the experimental group was repeated twice with virtual reality goggles at two-week intervals and their questions were answered.
