The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of digital participatory training based on virtual classrooms in developing teaching skills among pre-service teachers. A quasi-experimental approach was employed using a teaching skills checklist as the measurement tool. The sample included 46 students from the Child Education Department, intentionally divided into experimental (22) and control (24) groups. The findings indicate that participatory digital training based on virtual classrooms significantly enhanced the teaching skills and interaction among pre-service teachers. The study emphasised the importance of digital environments and emerging technologies such as virtual classrooms in pre-service teacher training. This approach has potential as an innovative solution for teacher training, particularly in light of social distancing measures and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on traditional learning. The researcher recommends embracing digital transformation in education by incorporating virtual classrooms as a global requirement to overcome the effects of prolonged global pandemics.
