Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) in teacher education offers an immersive environment for microteaching which, when coupled with peer-feedback can enhance pre-service teachers' competence. This study employed a mixed-method quasi-experimental design to compare VR-based microteaching with real-world microteaching among 150 pre-service teachers (n = 73 feedback providers, n = 77 feedback receivers). Quantitative analyses revealed similar perceptions of feedback across both conditions, but minor differences in feedback quality, particularly in the specificity of comments. Qualitative findings highlighted VR's potential for safe, standardized practice and guided reflection, while also pointing to limitations in simulating complex classroom interactions. The study highlights VR's potential for feedback-oriented teacher training and its potential to support the development of professional teaching competencies.
