Simulation training is as effective as teaching pupils : Development of efficacy beliefs among pre-service teachers

Teacher education programmes offer pre-service teachers limited opportunities to realistically practice and develop skills and strat- egies for teaching pupils, without the risk of adversely affecting pupils’ learning. The purpose of this study was set to contribute with knowledge concerning how pre-service teachers develop self-efficacy beliefs from different sorts of teacher training Three sorts of experience – teaching virtual characters, teaching peers and teaching pupils in schools – were compared. The results show that three hours of simulation training in a small group set- ting with virtual characters develops pre-service teachers’ effica- cy beliefs in teaching mathematics just as much as three weeks of training with real students and significantly more than teaching colleagues during a seminar. The pre-service students especially mentioned the feedback from the instructors as being valuable for creating an efficient professional learning environment, with respect to development of teaching efficacy beliefs.
