Abstract: This study addresses the limitations of traditional classroom or video-based safety training in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) to enhance engagement and learning outcomes. Through realistic VR simulations, learners can practice recognizing hazards and making critical decisions without exposure to actual risks. The research applies the Identification, Reflection, Analysis, and Evaluation (IRAE) model and the Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM) to examine both challenges and acceptance of VR in educational contexts. By conducting pre- and post-test analyses with SPSS, this study evaluates changes in safety knowledge and awareness, while a five-point Likert scale captures student perceptions of VR's motivational impact. Findings indicate that VR-based instructional methods promote active learning, improve safety awareness, and increase student involvement compared to conventional approaches. These results offer valuable insights for evolving safety management education, shaping future strategies for digital technology adoption, and ultimately raising the standard of safety practices in the AEC industry.
