Background of this research has brought artificial intelligence and virtual reality to the forefront of education. Methodology and Methods focus on theoretical integration of these technologies into self-learning, which has a profound impact on educational practices, providing personalised, adaptive, and contextualised learning experiences. However, there is a gap in understanding how these technologies relate to the development of self-learning skills. Our study examines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and virtual reality in self-learning by investigating its impact on learner engagement, retention, and independence. A research purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies. Results demonstrate significant intrinsic motivation as self-managed and self-organised skills. The consistency illustrates the potential of artificial intelligence and virtual reality to improve student self-control and motivation. However, there are still some challenges that hinder the use of these technologies in education. Scientific novelty addresses issues including cyber sickness, technical demands, ethical concerns related to data privacy, and algorithmic bias. Practical significance is that by overcoming these challenges, artificial intelligence and virtual reality, through interdisciplinary collaboration, can become a key factor in the democratisation of education, ensuring access to quality education for diverse populations.
