Assessing the Development of Professionalism in Teacher Candidates through Mixed Reality

Abstract: Mixed Reality Simulations (MRS), are evolving, creating potential for improved teacher training. By creating scenarios that immerse learners in real-time teaching situations that would otherwise not be possible, such as a virtual Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting, the educational technology transforms teaching and learning and can improve teacher preparation for special education teacher candidates. A recent survey indicates the use of MRS was able to close the preservice to veteran teacher practice gap across several indicators of teacher professionalism.
