Research consistently identifies teacher confidence, capability, and institutional support as the primary determinant of whether educational technology is used effectively in practice. Immersive learning adoption is constrained not primarily by technology availability but by the professional development, time, and institutional support required for educators to integrate XR into practice with competence and intentionality.
Key Drivers / Contributing Conditions:
-
Professional development investment gaps relative to technology investment
-
Teacher time constraints limiting experimentation
-
Lack of pre-service XR education pedagogy training
Tensions Carried Forward to Part II:
-
Who bears responsibility for educator XR capability development — institutions, technology vendors, or professional communities like iLRN?
