However, most of the students are not interested in this subject. This study aims to gather the preliminary data to investigate studentâ��s motivation in learning history and their perspective on integrating technology into the classroom. This study used convenience sampling technique (n = 83 students) and collected data through an instrument distributed among the students. The results indicate that the current materials for learning history are not sufficient and satisfactory. Therefore, this study proposed a new technology namely Virtual Reality technology in learning history and positive feedbacks received in incorporating this technology in learning history subject into the classroom. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019. %K Engineering education; Motivation; Virtual reality, Integrating technology; Malaysia; Sampling technique; Virtual reality technology, Students
