Description

VirtuVox is a voice-related prevention programme for trainee elementary teachers that combines information on vocal functioning and hygiene with individualized vocal training in virtual classroom simulations.

Components

• VirtuVox voice-related prevention program with virtual classroom simulations: VirtuVox is a voice-related prevention program representing "a mixed approach combining (1) an indirect intervention including a group information session on voice functioning and vocal hygiene, and (2) a direct intervention consisting of three individual vocal training sessions" with VR immersion. Each session included immersion in a virtual classroom and simulation of communicative situations in noise. The VR environment features an elementary school classroom with 16 pupils aged 9 to 12 years old, and the trainer can adjust the level of three noise sources and the children's agitation. The pupils' agitation level was gradually increased: 30% for session 1, 50% for session 2, and 70% for session 3. (Angélique Remacle et al. (2023))

Claims

• Trainee teachers who receive voice training with VR classroom simulations show greater improvement in communication self-efficacy in noise than those receiving an information session only [+M]
