The IVR-CSI utilized real-case scenarios and head-mounted displays. University students majoring in criminal investigation (N = 71) participated, with 36 using IVR-CSI and 35 in the control group with traditional training. Pre-test, post-test, and delayed test assessments to measure learning achievements, situational interest, and cognitive load. Statistical analysis revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly better immediate learning outcomes and retained knowledge more effectively over time compared to the control group. The IVR-CSI also elicited higher situational interest across most dimensions, particularly in novelty, exploration intention, attention demand, and instant enjoyment. Importantly, IVR-CSI did not increase students’ intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load but enhanced their germane cognitive load. These results highlight the positive impact of IVR-CSI on CSI training, offering valuable insights for enhancing professional training programs and instructional methods in this field.
