This study integrated 360°video technology into teaching internship courses for senior undergraduates to enhance their instructional competencies and learning interest. Specifically, it evaluated the effectiveness of 360°videos in supporting lesson observations and post-teaching discussions and analyzed the experiences of student teachers with this immersive technology. Participants were 15 senior undergraduates enrolled in a teacher education program at T University (pseudonym). Data were collected in classrooms at both T University and H Elementary School (pseudonym). During microteaching sessions held at the university, 360°cameras were used to record teaching activities. The videos were reviewed and discussed in reflection meetings. During the full internship at the elementary school, the same recording and discussion procedures were followed. This research adopted an action research approach and collected data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Qualitative data analysis was performed to identify emerging themes. The findings revealed that the 360°videos supported the student teachers during classroom observations and post-teaching discussions and enhanced their ability to design and implement effective lessons. The videos also enabled them to review student performance, identify student learning difficulties, and engage in reflective teaching practices. Additionally, the immersive nature of the video recordings enhanced student teachers’concentration and increased their interest in learning by creating a strong sense of presence. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teacher education programs incorporate multi-perspective designs to guide student teachers in observing teacher-student interactions. It is also recommended that 360°videos be used to further support the development of teacher education courses. |
