ABSTRACT

Preservice teachers (PSTs) often experience professional anxiety when managing their classrooms. These feelings of anxiety can be reduced, and their feelings of self-efficacy increased by training PSTs’ interpersonal competence. This study used authentic learning experiences combining theoretical lectures and 360-degree videos watched with virtual reality headsets, to train their interpersonal competence. Participants of this study were 141 first year PSTs of a teacher education institute in the Netherlands. Results showed that the video-lecture combination led to a reduced professional anxiety and increased self-efficacy. PSTs’ self-perceptions of their own expected interpersonal behaviour indicated that PSTs thought they would be more in control in the actual classroom after the intervention. PSTs attributed these results to exemplary teacher behaviour shown in the 360-degree videos.

摘要

职前教师 (PST) 在管理课堂时经常会遇到职业焦虑。通过训练 PST 的人际交往能力，可以减少这些焦虑感，并增加他们的自我效能感。本研究使用真实的学习经验，结合理论讲座和使用虚拟现实耳机观看的 360 度视频，来训练他们的人际交往能力。这项研究的参与者是荷兰一家教师教育机构的 141 名第一年 PST。结果表明，视频讲座组合导致专业焦虑减少和自我效能提高。PSTs 对自己预期的人际行为的自我认知表明，PSTs 认为他们在干预后会在实际课堂上更有控制力。
