Currently, emerging technologies such as immersive environments are transforming the field of education. Within this context, Education 5.0 has emerged as an approach that integrates advanced digital tools to enhance learning experiences. However, its implementation requires that teachers engage in critical reflection regarding its pedagogical use. This qualitative study aimed to analyze teachers’ reflections on the integration of Education 5.0 and immersive environments. A thematic analysis was conducted on the reflections of 30 upper-secondary and higher education teachers who participated in a training workshop. Data were gathered through synchronous sessions and discussion forums. The findings indicate that teachers perceive Education 5.0 and immersive environments as valuable tools for personalizing learning, increasing student motivation, and fostering collaboration—provided their use is pedagogically intentional. They also recognize their potential to create more dynamic and interactive learning experiences. Nevertheless, key challenges were identified, including technological gaps, limited infrastructure, and concerns regarding digital security. While Education 5.0 presents a promising opportunity for educational innovation, its successful integration requires ongoing evaluation of its impact on both teacher professional development and student learningReferences
