Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop a teaching practice program using a virtual space for pre-service teachers reflecting the characteristics of both a virtual space and teaching practice. To develop the program, objectives of the developing, methods of a team grouping, conditions for effective practice were analyzed from literature review and preliminary research. In order to evaluate the effects of the constructed program, the program was applied to 99 pre-service teachers of a university in Korea, and the 46 pre-service teachers participated in the evaluating. The results obtained from the evaluation were that the program brought about the positive change of pre-service teachers' cognition on their teaching efficacy. This program is expected to be effectively used in pre-service teacher education program and connected to the field-based teaching practicum.
