作為21世紀的重要新技術,虛擬現實技術早已被運用到醫療、軍事、航空和游戲等領域,而將其運用到教師教育領域則是最近幾年的事情。美國率先將VR技術運用到教師教育領域,其典型是中佛羅里達大學的混合現實教學實訓系統(Teachliv E)。該系統通過VR技術創設一種虛擬和現實相結合的混合虛擬環境,讓師范生沉浸于一種完全"真實"的課堂環境中,訓練其教學技能、管理技能和反思技能等教育教學核心素養,以強化現實環境中教師教育實踐和反思的薄弱環節,促進教師培養質量的大幅度提高。

As an important new technology in the 21 Century, virtual reality technology has been applied to areas such as medicine, military, aviation and games, however, only till recent years it has been applied to the field of teacher education. The United States took the lead in applying VR technology to the field of teacher education, which is typically a mixed-reality teaching system(Teachliv E) at University of Central Florida. Creating a hybrid virtual environment that combines virtual and reality through VR Technology, the system let the students immerse in a "real" classroom environment and train their core literacy of education and teaching such as the teaching skills, management skills and reflective skills in order to strengthen the weak link of the practice and reflection of teacher education in the real environment and effectively promote the improvement of the quality of teacher training.
