This study presents a systematic review of research studies conducted using immersive virtual reality learning environments in educational settings. The focus is on studies with measurable learning outcomes where participants interaction through head mounted displays. The review draws on English-language, peer-reviewed scientific journals published between 2020 and 2024, and explores; research design and representation of trend over the years, educational approach, learning goal, subject area, target audience, country, development tool of virtual environment, head-mounted displays utilization, and the indexing status of the journals. Different databases were searched according to the search strategies to access the relevant studies. These searches initially produced 815 results. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and applying specific exclusion criteria, 38 studies were included in the analysis. The results reveal current trends in immersive virtual reality learning environments and provide researchers and designers with important suggestions for the development of future educational practices.
