Systematic Replication Research to Improve the Preparation of Teachers
Project Name: Systematic Replication Research to Improve the Preparation of Teachers
Project Leadership: Dr. Jair Aguilar (Principal Investigator)
Funding Amount: $50,000
Sponsor: The University of Virginia
Project Description: This is a collaborative project with the University of Virginia and Southern Methodist University to evaluate simulated learning in teacher preparation across universities (Project On-Going - 2nd/3 year). The purpose of this research study is to capitalize on the unique features of simulated learning to investigate the most beneficial ways to structure feedback for teacher candidates, while providing students with additional opportunities to practice different skills, with the use and implementation of Mixed-Reality Simulations. It expected that two paper publications are submitted to high quality educational journals.
