360° video offers a valuable tool for bridging the divide between coursework and fieldwork during pre-service teacher (PST) internships. The purpose of this study was to explore the usefulness of 360° video integration into the scaffolding of PST education. Quantitative feedback from 82 student teachers during a teacher education course showed a general preference for 360° video based on improving an increased noticing of teaching and students' classroom activity. A qualitative analysis of one teachers' learning experiences using 360° video (based on reflections gathered from a self-confrontation interview) showed an increased perceptual immersion, enhanced attentional capacity, and teaching situation discovery (i.e., better classroom observing). Based on the results, we found that 360° video has stronger immersive qualities compared to 2D video and augmented PSTs' reflective experience. Due to its affordability and usability, 360° video is, therefore, an effective tool to enrich internships and allow for 'virtual internship' experiences to prepare for real classroom situations.
