Innovating Early Childhood Education Through Virtual Reality: A Case Study of Mursion Simulations in Postgraduate Pre-Service Teacher Education
Abstract
This chapter explores the impact of Mursion simulations on pre-service teachers (PSTs) in early childhood education (ECE), focusing on improving teaching practices and classroom management skills. The research uses a cultural-historical lens to analyse international PSTs' experiences with Mursion before their placements. The findings show that Mursion effectively simulates Australian early childhood settings, boosting PSTs' confidence and classroom management skills while enhancing their understanding of local dynamics. Immersive technologies help PSTs interact well with children in real situations, creating a safe space for skill development. The study suggests that this Virtual reality (VR) technology provides international PSTs with a realistic view of the Australian education system, supporting the sustainability of ECE. As Australia faces a teacher shortage and increasing diversity, innovative approaches like VR could transform Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and strengthen ECE worldwide.
