Virtual Deliberate Practice Platform for Pre-service Teachers’ Skill Development

• In Event: TED- Preservice Learning Contexts (h)

Short Description

This study explores the use of a virtual deliberate practice platform to develop pre-service teachers’ questioning and discussion skills. Kolb (1984)’s experiential learning theory combined with Eriksson (2007)’s deliberate practice was used as a theoretical framework to design a holistic virtual platform. Twenty-five pre-service teachers participated in a virtual deliberate practice opportunity combining a synchronous virtual simulation tool and an asynchronous learning platform.
