Students’ Perspectives on the Use of 3D Digital Models for Cultural Transmission in Foreign Language Teaching

Öz

This study explores the use of digital 3D models as a new multimedia teaching tool for culture transmission in foreign language education. Conducted with 59 teacher candidates (32 English, 27 German) aged 20–30, the study compared 3D models with traditional (audio) visual materials such as drawings, videos, and 360-degree videos. A historical building and a modern educational institution were presented using these materials during the 2024–2025 academic year in the Educational Technologies course. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests and in-class interviews, focusing on participants’ demographics, prior experience with 3D models, and their views on their effectiveness. Results showed that most participants found digital 3D models more effective than other materials in conveying cultural content, despite some uncertainties regarding their use.
