Developing and Implementing a Mixed-Reality Teaching Simulation to be Used with Preservice STEM Teachers
Sarah Ferguson
Journal of Educators Online, v20 n4 2023
Practice makes perfect…this saying is a popular cliché, but it has validity when referencing the abundance of practice necessary to learn and master a new technique or skill. Like playing a game, honing a skill, or using a new technique, teaching requires practice to learn and improve. Working with preservice STEM teachers (PSTs), my goal was to develop ways for PSTs to practice teaching to gain experience, hone skills, and learn new techniques. This narrative describes the process undertaken to create a virtual microteaching opportunity that will provide PSTs practice time and additional teaching experience.
