Akhayan A.A., Zair-Bek E.S., Ksenofontova A.N. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STRATEGY OF IMMERSIVE LEARNING AS AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PHENOMENONImmersive learning strategies have had a significant impact on educational innovation. Immersive learning technologies enable the rapid development and refinement of skills. Immersive learning is widely studied by specialists in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Education is a multidimensional and complex process. Acquired knowledge encompasses knowledge of facts and phenomena and the development of a set of skills and competencies. Anthropology views learning not only as an individual cognitive process but also as a deeply social and cultural practice in education. Anthropology interprets learning as cultural transmission and studies how values, beliefs, and skills are transmitted across generations. The goal of this study is to identify the anthropological effects of immersive learning strategies and describe key transformations of subjective experience in immersive settings. We consider immersive learning strategies as an anthropological phenomenon, a unique sociocultural method of organizing the educational process. A discourse analysis of research on immersive strategies in education and a phenomenological approach to studying students' perceptions of immersive learning practices in schools revealed three key anthropological effects: a transformation of the experience of presence in solving various educational situations; a shift in the boundaries of the real/virtual world; and a restructuring of empathy mechanisms in teachers in accepting new digital technologies as a cultural and social phenomenon.Key words: immersive learning, authenticity of the learning environment in immersive learning, effects of immersive learning in school education, the School Metaverse project, objective and subjective dimensions of immersive learning.
