Este estudio investiga los potenciales de la Terapia de Realidad Virtual (VRT) para superar la glosofobia en el contexto de las clases en línea. Para lograr el objetivo, este estudio emplea un diseño experimental en el que los estudiantes que están inscritos en un curso de oratoria en línea se agruparon en dos: Grupo experimental y grupo de control. El grupo experimental experimentó tres sesiones de VRT a lo largo del semestre, mientras que el grupo de control no. Después del final del curso, los hallazgos del análisis descriptivo sugieren que la tasa de cambio para el grupo experimental fue de -17% en comparación con el grupo de control -4%. Esto indica que el grupo experimental había disminuido su ansiedad por hablar en público cuatro veces más que el grupo de control; lo que sugiere que VRT ha ayudado a reducir la ansiedad al hablar en público. Con todo, este estudio presagia el gran potencial de VRT en el campo de la educación y la comunicación.
Palabras clave: Ansiedad de hablar en público (PSA); Terapia de realidad virtual (VRT); clases en línea; tecnología en educación.
