Although the integration of digital technology into teacher education has become a prevailing trend, empirical studies on how highly immersive virtual reality(VR)supports pre-service Chinese language teachers’lesson plan writing remain scarce. Conventional training models often lack contextual simulation platforms, making it difficult for pre-service teachers to develop lesson plans that are sufficiently concrete and pedagogically feasible. This study incorporated a VR-based project into a teacher education course to examine its effects on pre-service Chinese language teachers’lesson planning performance. Adopting a quasi-experimental design, the study embedded a VR project into a university course titled“Chinese Societies and Cultures,”in which students worked in groups to construct a culturally oriented virtual environment and designed culture-focused lesson plans based on the VR scenes they created. The study addressed two main questions: (1)whether integrating a VR project improves the logical coherence and organizational clarity of lesson plans, and (2)whether engaging in VR production influences students’subjective learning experiences, including learning motivation, learning attitudes, and course satisfaction. Data were collected through lesson plan assessments and learning-experience questionnaires, supplemented by qualitative analysis of lesson plans. The results indicate that the VR project significantly enhanced pre-service teachers’specificity and structural organization in lesson planning, without exerting negative effects on their learning experiences; overall course satisfaction was also generally high. These findings suggest that VR can serve as a beneficial digital tool in Chinese language teacher education, supporting the development of certain aspects of lesson planning skills and promoting the integration of technological literacy with pedagogical competence. Implications and reflections for designing future VR-integrated teacher education curricula are discussed. |
