Abstract
This paper addresses the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in the training of Secondary Education teachers in Spain as an integral part of the new ecology of learning and proposes some premises from which to design a training program to improve teachers' communicative competence and their ability to manage conflict affecting the classroom climate. First, the paper explains the experiential and experimental potential in which VR immerses us, its ability to create challenging and personalized virtual worlds, as well as the possibility to generate instant feedback and feedforward. Finally, an example of a prototype scenario designed on this conceptual basis is provided and some ideas are discussed to introduce VR into initial teacher training.
