Abstract

This study examined in-service teachers’ perceptions regarding spatial presence, simulator sickness and usability of First-Person view drones through Head-Mounted Displays in order to determine the suitability of their use in teaching and learning processes. The sample consisted of 60 in-service teachers of primary education. Data was collected via the Temple Presence Inventory Scale, Simulator Sickness Scale and the System Usability Scale. Results showed that the teachers rated an increased level of spatial presence. Additionally, the simulator sickness was relatively low, and the drone’s usability was rated as excellent. These findings contribute to the better understanding of the potential of First-Person view drones as learning tools.
