Field experiences are regarded as the most effective way to prepare future teachers to be ready for the complexity and challenges found in the teaching profession (Phillion et al., 2005). Ill-prepared teachers may fail to gain fully from field experiences if they are not well prepared or do not value the activity as an out of class task (Hixon & So, 2009). Furthermore, missed opportunities with field experiences, such as in times of a pandemic, can limit the exposure to authentic classroom experiences for preservice teachers (Ferdig & Kosko, 2020). Alternative or supplementary training through 360-degree video can be a useful method to prepare preservice teachers for field experience and in-service teaching. Using data collected at Tennessee Tech University in the Fall of 2019, this quantitative study investigated preservice teachers' self-reported change in perceptions after 360-degree video training in their preparation program. An evaluation of the Educational Technology Enhancement (ETE) survey instrument used to collect data provided three constructs. Two constructs, preparedness for practicum experiences and the virtual reality assists in learning variables, were found to have significant changes from pretest-to posttest. However, the third construct, virtual reality relevance in education, did not show a significant change. The changes in perceptions were all found to be positive on the three constructs. There was no difference between genders when they were immersed in 360-degree video when it was used in their preparation program. Furthermore, preservice teachers intending to teach at different school levels (elementary, middle, secondary, or other) after completing college showed the same perceptions change when the 360-degree video was used in their preparation program. The study findings showed that the use of the 360-degree video in educator preparation programs has the potential to buttress all preservice teachers' professional skills, such as noticing, knowledge, experience with different classrooms, and classroom management before attending field experience.
