360° Video in teacher education: A systematic review of why and how it is used in teacher education

The recently developed technology of 360 degrees video provides opportunities for teachers and teacher candidates to explore both the classroom environment and the teaching and learning process. In this paper, a systematic review has been conducted to better understand the use of 360 degrees videos in teacher education. The study focuses on the reasons why and how 360 degrees videos are used, as well as the impacts on the noticing abilities of teacher trainees. The review demonstrates how 360 degrees videos are a preferred method of overcoming the limitations of standard video as they are able to provide a more realistic and authentic experience. The review employs a variety of videos of different duration that explore various research domains. It was concluded that 360 degrees videos better support various skills, including teacher candidates' noticing, when used in a virtual reality (VR) environment.
