Virtual Reality (VR) in Education: a study on the impact of VR supported lessons on the learning experience of PGDE primary student teachers at the school of Education.

This is a study aimed to examine some of the concerns expressed by teachers about the implementation of Virtual Reality (VR) in school Education. It aims to address the need identified by Cooper (2019) for further research into how Pre-service Teachers (PST) integrate this technology into their pedagogy and how teacher educators can facilitate and support this process. The research question aims to explore to what extent a combination of student experience of VR, in the context of learning about effective pedagogy techniques in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) courses, followed by student planning VR supported lessons, could assist student teachers in overcoming some of the barriers preventing the integration of VR into regular classroom practice.
