This study aims to explore the background and utilization of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in vocational education and to analyze the issues facing this process. To this end, firstly, we conducted interviews with seven professors from five schools who tried to use VR/AR in the last one to two years of vocational education. Through the interview, we confirmed the background behind the introduction of VR/AR technology and difficulties the experienced. Second, additional issues to consider when using VR/AR in educational context were identified through expert meeting. Third, a Delphi method was used to identify the validity of the issues using VR and AR in vocational education derived from the interviews and expert meeting. The Delphi survey was conducted twice with 12 experts consisting of four vocational education experts, four educational technology experts, and four VR/AR technology experts. Research results as follows. Instructors have used to VR/AR in order to provide learners with opportunities for repetitive vocational practice or to replace high-risk, high-cost practice. Also, VR/AR is mainly used as a complement rather than a complete replacement to the vocational practice. Through the Delphi survey, issues were validated after categorizing into a total of three stages (preparation, introduction process, utilization process). A total of 34 detailed issues were finally drawn, especially it confirmed that the securing VR/AR content available at the vocational education and the continuous development to meet the needs of future learners are very important. The issues drawn from this study are expected to be used as a kind of guideline for vocational education field considering future introduction to consider step by step.
