Abstract
Simulation-based activities can be a formative learning approach for teacher preparation programs and enhance teacher readiness. These activities provide preservice teachers with opportunities to build the necessary knowledge and skills related to classroom management in a structured and safe environment. This article assesses the benefits and challenges of incorporating Mursion, a mixed-reality simulation platform, as a tool in undergraduate teacher preparation programs. The use of Mursion aligns with Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory (Morris, 2020) and includes concrete experiences for preservice teachers that they can reflect upon and adjust as needed. Simulation experience supports leadership development, as well as communication, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution. Challenges include cost, scheduling, and managing student anxiety.
