Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the lived experiences of student teachers about the use of technology in virtual education. The research method is qualitative and phenomenological. The participants in this study were female students of Farhangian University of Makazi Province, who were selected by the purposive sampling method and with the criteria of setting two semesters of virtual education (N=16). In order to collect data, a semi-structured interview method was used. Data analysis was carried out using the seven-step Claysey method. The obtained results indicated the existence of two general themes of challenges and opportunities of using technology in the virtual education of student teachers. These challenges include the lack of acquiring the necessary competencies in learning courses, organizational problems, curriculum problems, problems caused by the lack of face-to-face communication and the lack of infrastructure. At the same time, the use of technology in virtual education has some opportunities such as removing time and place restrictions, increasing access to content, and developing technology materials for students. According to the results, it is necessary to provide the necessary support to adjust the challenges of virtual education.
