“…Social constructivism by Vygotsky ( 1978 ) is related to the fact that intellectual advancement results from the transformation of biologically driven processes into more socially developed psychological operations.

Furthermore, McInerney and McInerney ( 2010 ) have asserted that Vygotsky believed that the cultural context directly influences an individual’s cognitive development.…”

The advent of new technology is breaking the boundaries of traditional teaching and learning patterns with virtual worlds (VW) creating new frontiers in education. Previous research has explored the use of VW within educational settings. However, limited studies have investigated the transition processes that educators experience by adopting VW based online tools during the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative exploratory study investigated 18 Chilean lecturers’ teaching experiences using a three-dimensional computer-mediated environment: Second Life. Findings suggest that changing from traditional to virtual teaching context is a complex process, which (re)shaped the lecturers’ various senses of identity and agency towards different instructional approaches resulting in the sense of in-betweenness with multiple digital competencies. These changes indicated that they taught in an ‘in-between’ mode mapped by different teaching mediations. The participants’ teaching experiences of shaping a sense of in-betweenness could provide a unique theoretical lens to explore instructors’ teaching experiences from traditional to a technology-mediated online setting.
