Abstract

The application of immersive experiential learning in higher education has increasingly shown its significant impact on students' emotional regulation and learning motivation. This teaching method, by simulating real learning environments, enhances students' situational engagement, thus profoundly influencing their emotional experiences and learning behaviors. This paper explores how immersive teaching leverages students' emotional responses to strengthen their intrinsic learning motivation and analyzes how students can optimize learning outcomes through effective emotional regulation. The study finds that the positive emotions elicited by this teaching method can significantly improve students' learning engagement and motivation, while good emotional regulation helps students maintain cognitive efficiency when facing learning challenges. With the continuous advancement of teaching technologies, immersive learning is expected to play a greater role in the educational field, promoting both the academic and emotional development of students.
