Abstract: With the in-depth development of digital education transformation, XR extended reality technology, as an emerging educational tool, is reshaping traditional teaching models. This study combines theoretical analysis with practical exploration to thoroughly examine the innovative application mechanisms of XR technology in the educational field. It is found that XR technology effectively enhances learners'cognitive engagement and knowledge construction through three core mechanisms: immersive learning environments, interactive experience design, and personalized learning pathways. This paper constructs a theoretical framework for XR applications in education and proposes a learner-centered design scheme for an XR educational ecosystem, offering new ideas and practical paths for advancing educational modernization.
