The development and testing of an online scenario-based learning activity to prepare preservice teachers for teaching placements

Abstract

The development and testing of an online scenario-based learning activity to prepare preservice teachers for teaching placements AbstractIn this study we report the development and testing of a scenario-based learning (SBL) activity delivered to 191 preservice teachers in the UK and Australia before the start of a school-based teaching placement. SBL uses interactive, realistic classroom scenarios, coupled with self-reflection and feedback from experienced teachers to enhance the selfefficacy and classroom readiness of preservice teachers. Two studies are presented. Findings from Study 1 (40 preservice teachers from the UK) indicated that participants found the activity engaging and useful, and reported a high level of agreement that the activity increased self-efficacy and preparedness for teaching placements. Findings from Study 2 (151 preservice teachers from Australia) revealed that most participants reported higher levels of placement self-efficacy and preparedness. A quasi-experimental design in Study 2 revealed statistically significant increases in emotional classroom readiness, but not in teaching self-efficacy, motivational classroom readiness, or cognitive classroom readiness. We conclude that an SBL activity can play an important role in preparing preservice teachers for school-based teaching placements.

Scenario approach for training classroom management in virtual reality

“…Nonetheless, evaluations for certain categories varied, with some scenarios receiving higher marks than others. Scenario-based learning activities are used effectively in both pre-service and in-service teachers training (Klassen et al, 2021). The scenarios created will enable the participants to cope with difficult situations that they may possibly encounter (Pedro et al, 2019).…”

The Impact of a Scenario-Based Learning Model in Mathematics Achievement and Mental Motivation for High School Students

“…non-routine subjects that require higher levels of thinking [32,33]. It is suitable for age groups that have knowledge experience in the topics that the scenario will address, because integrating inexperienced learners into the scenario-based learning environment may cause them a mental burden [34,35]. Where the activities included in the scenario depend on achieving individual and collective practice by students of the skills included in the content of the scenario, and this practice would enable students from the theoretical and practical side of the specific content, and it should be concerned with achieving the fun of learning at the same time and for students to integrate into the scenario to achieve the required [36].…”
