Extended Reality (XR) is the umbrella term for immersive mediums including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), 360 video, volumetric video, and so forth.

In recent years, scholars have begun to advocate for incorporation of various forms of XR into teacher education. Such advocacy papers have characterized the advantages, potential benefits, and positive dispositions towards XR expressed by inservice and/or preservice teachers. As XR becomes more widely adopted by teacher educators and teacher education researchers, there is a need for the field to move beyond mere advocacy of XR and towards empirical study of and through XR.
