Abstract

This paper presents a mixed-method study to explore how effective reflection supported by 360 degrees video VR technology is improving classroom management self-efficacy and reducing the stress levels of student teachers. Furthermore, it examined how participants evaluated strengths and weaknesses of 360 degrees video VR. Upon examining the results of the study that compared three different groups (360 degrees video VR, 360 degrees video, and 2D video), it can be said that using 360 degrees video VR to encourage discussions and reflections has the potential to be more effective in reducing stress levels, compared to using other types of videos for the same purpose.
