Abstract
This chapter investigates the enhancement of pre-service teacher training through the virtual reality integrated teacher training (VIRTT) environment, which leverages immersive pedagogy and VR technology. The VIRTT environment offers realistic classroom simulations, enabling future educators to practice essential skills such as classroom management, student engagement, and adapting to diverse student needs in a risk-free setting. The chapter delves into the theoretical foundations of immersive learning, emphasizing VR's role in developing teaching competencies, confidence, and engagement. Empirical evidence is presented to demonstrate VR's effectiveness in preparing educators for contemporary classrooms, while also addressing challenges related to costs, accessibility, and technical proficiency. Additionally, the chapter provides strategic recommendations for the successful integration of VR in teacher education programs.
