The purpose of the current research is to analyze the researches on the use of virtual reality in teaching and learning based on the concepts of post-phenomenology. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical method has been used. Emphasizing on the most important concepts of post-phenomenology, articles on the use of virtual reality in education and learning between 2017 and 2022 were analyzed. The findings of the research in the field of virtual reality mediation in relation to the learner and the learning environment showed that among the relationships described in post-phenomenology, most of them are related to background and immersion and hermeneutic relationship, embodiment and alterity are in the next ranks. In the field of multiple applications of virtual reality technology, in the order of teaching, interaction, evaluation and motivation, it has been considered in the conducted researches. In the field of incremental structures of technology (what technology gives us), interaction and immersion, motivation, deep learning and participation can be dominant in researches, and in the field of decreasing structures of technology (what technology takes from us) in researches Such as high cost, insufficient reality, human communication, high cognitive load and losses for human health have been considered. Finally, it was suggested; so that the way of changing the experience and perception of the learners during the application of virtual reality in education and learning is investigated more closely, so that the dimensions and hidden angles of the technology are revealed for the policy makers and educational technology designers. On the other hand, it can be said that the results of this practice can help improve the quality of technology-based learning.
