The 28 participants involved in the study were introduced to &#8220;Virtual Singapura,&#8221; a multi-user virtual environment, and completed an open-ended questionnaire. Data from the questionnaire indicated that gender and current computer game use were likely to affect the perceived benefits of using virtual worlds in a classroom setting. Behavior management was seen as being a constraining factor on a pre-service teacher&#8217;s willingness to use a virtual world in the future. Overall, the results of the study indicate that pre-service teachers as a result of their use of &#8220;Virtual Singapura&#8221; are both aware of virtual worlds and have a reasonable understanding of both their potential advantages and disadvantages within a classroom setting.
