Abstract
Immersive learning, or experiential learning, involves placing teachers in realistic scenarios where they can practice their skills and receive feedback in a safe, controlled environment. This study conducts systematic research to investigate the impact of immersive learning on teacher effectiveness. The research included 16 articles from electronic databases including IEEE, ERIC, and Google Scholar that met the inclusion criteria based on PRISMA guidelines. Evaluation of the selected articles was based on the CASP checklist. The findings suggest that immersive learning has a positive impact on teacher effectiveness, improving teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and confidence in their abilities to handle real-life situations in the classroom. The study highlights the need for further research in this area, particularly regarding the long-term impact of immersive learning on teacher effectiveness. The use of immersive learning in teacher education can enhance the quality of teacher preparation programs and provide professional development opportunities for practicing teachers.
