交互式模拟使职前教师能够在脚手架环境中将教育理论和教学法联系起来。我们用现场模拟的场景创建了数字模拟，并利用它们为新手教师与家长的对话做准备。使用基于设计的方法，我们在教育课上实现了模拟，通过调查和观察收集数据，并将反馈纳入后续设计中。新手教师认为模拟是真实的，并练习保持镇静和清晰的教学方法。模拟产生的新教师的反应记录使他们能够自我反思，并得到同伴和讲师的反馈。结果表明，这些数字模拟有望成为新手教师在低风险环境中进行有针对性实践的低成本、灵活的工具。
Abstract Interactive simulations allow preservice teachers to connect education theory and pedagogy in scaffolded environments. We created digital simulations with scenarios from in-person simulations and used them to prepare novice teachers for conversations with parents. Using a design-based approach we implemented the simulations in an education class, gathered data through surveys and observations, and incorporated feedback into subsequent designs. Novice teachers perceived the simulation as authentic and practiced maintaining composure and articulating pedagogical approaches. Recordings of novice teachers’ responses produced by the simulation enabled self-reflection and peer and instructor feedback. Results suggest that these digital simulations hold promise as low-cost, flexible tools for novice teachers to engage in targeted practice in a low-stakes setting.
