Abstract

Teacher education has begun to embrace the use of 360 videos to improve preservice teachers' (PSTs) engagement and immersion. While recent research on such use is promising overall, there are specific questions that have been left unanswered about the construct of presence in 360 videos. More specifically, research has yet to fully explore how video delivery devices and PST characteristics may impact presence. The purpose of this study was to respond to this gap in the literature by examining PST major, delivery device (ie, head mounted display vs. flat screen), and the interaction between the two in informing presence. A total of 93 PSTs watched 360 videos and then completed a questionnaire. Findings indicated that presence in head-mounted displays was related to emotions and agency. Conversely, presence with flat screens meant familiarity and control. Moreover, PST major was a predictor of presence, suggesting that 360 videos should be personalized according to PST career and professional goals. Finally, the interaction effect of preparing to teach K-12 mathematics and wearing a head-mounted display had a negative and statistically significant effect on participants' perceived presence, thus indicating a non-cumulative effect.

Practitioner notes

What is already known about this topic

360 videos are increasingly used to support preservice teacher training.
360 videos for teacher education foster immersion, presence, and noticing skills.

What this paper adds

Empirical evidence that 360 videos experienced with head-mounted display facilitate agency and emotional involvement.
Empirical evidence that 360 videos experienced with flat screens facilitate feelings of control.
Data showed that preservice teachers' content area (math) was a positive predictor of presence in 360 videos.

Implications for practice and/or policy

Head-mounted displays show promise as a delivery mode for 360 videos in teacher education.
360 videos should be personalized according to PST career and professional goals.
The eXtended Reality Presence Scale is confirmed as a robust instrument to measure presence in immersive environments.
More research is needed to evaluate the scalability of this approach in other contexts.

评估扩展现实传输设备和职前教师专业如何影响沉浸式学习环境中的临场感

教师教育已开始使用 360 视频来提高职前教师（PSTs）的参与度和沉浸感。虽然近期有关此类使用的研究总体上很有前景，但在 360 视频中的临场感构建方面，仍有一些具体问题尚未得到解答。更具体地说，研究还没有充分探讨视频传输设备和 PST 的特征会如何影响临场感。本研究的目的是通过研究 PST 的主要特征、传输设备（即头戴式显示器与平面屏幕）以及两者在影响临场感方面的相互作用来弥补文献中的这一空白。共有 93 名 PST 观看了 360 个视频，然后填写了一份问卷。研究结果表明，头戴式显示器中的临场感与情感和代理有关。相反，平面屏幕上的临场感则意味着熟悉感和控制感。此外，PST 的专业也是临场感的一个预测因素，这表明 360 视频应根据 PST 的职业和专业目标进行个性化设计。最后，准备教授 K-12 数学和佩戴头戴式显示器的交互效应对参与者的临场感有负面影响，且在统计学上有显著意义，因此表明这是一种非累积效应。用于教师教育的 360 视频可培养沉浸感、临场感和注意技能。本文补充的内容经验证据表明，通过头戴式显示器体验 360 视频可促进代入感和情感参与。经验证据表明，使用平板显示屏观看 360 视频有助于增强控制感。数据显示，职前教师的教学内容领域（数学）对 360 视频中的临场感有积极的预测作用。对实践和/或政策的启示头戴式显示器有望成为教师教育中 360 视频的传输模式。360 视频应根据 PST 的职业和专业目标进行个性化定制。扩展现实临场感量表已被证实是测量身临其境环境中临场感的可靠工具。还需要进行更多的研究，以评估这种方法在其他情况下的可扩展性。
