PurposeThis research study provides insight into students’ perceptions of teaching through virtual and face-to-face clinicals in an introductory education course in a pre-education program at a minority-serving institution.Design/methodology/approachThis study took place at an urban–suburban-centered community college in the Midwestern United States and was reviewed by the higher education institutional review board (IRB). Data were collected from pre-education majors enrolled in a four-hour Introduction to Education with field experiences.FindingsThe findings indicated that both virtual and face-to-face clinicals were beneficial to the development of pre-service teachers, particularly in an early introduction to education course.Research limitations/implicationsThe finding that virtual clinicals are significant to teacher growth is significant to teacher recruitment and preparation.Practical implicationsThe flexibility of a virtual clinical provides greater opportunities for low-income and marginalized populations with limited means and access.Social implicationsThis finding can lead to strategies to diversify teacher candidates.Originality/valueThis study sought to answer the following question: how do pre-education students reflect to understand the roles and responsibilities of teaching through virtual options vs face-to-face clinicals? The interest of this research is to expand pathways into the teaching profession to nontraditional, ethnically and culturally marginalized groups and historically underrepresented groups.
