Immersive Learning for Teacher Education

Virtual Reality technology (VR) offers new potentials for immersive learning and teaching. Nevertheless, its concrete use
in education still lacks of a theoretical foundation and use cases. The present contribution describes the creation of a framework based on the concepts of Storytelling and immersive Learning to set a base for the beneficial use of VR in education. Furthermore, those results are transferred to the field of teacher education. Key findings are that (I): Educational Storyliving represents a promising method to be used for a didactically beneficial use of VR in education, (II): VR inherits
the characteristic to foster the teaching of emotional and classroom management skills for novice teachers.
