Improving inclusive classroom practices through virtual reality immersion for pre-service teachers

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference PaperOtherpeer-review

Abstract

Providing in-situ experiences for pre-service teachers on how to support, teach and engage diverse learners has traditionally been challenging and ethically fraught. In this study, the use of Virtual Reality seeks to bring these learning experiences to pre-service teachers through a sensitive, growth-focused approach. Using VR technology pre-service teachers will learn in a shared environment, by viewing pre-recorded 360-degree videos of classrooms in action. Over a semester of a university course, pre-service teachers in this study experience virtual classrooms and are led to explore inclusive classroom practices through virtual reality headsets and synchronising software.
