Factors inhibiting the adoption of ICT by Tamale Polytechnic lecturers for th...Editor IJCATR
Although the Ghanaian polytechnics have had computers and varied levels of ICT development for almost two decades now, ways
to create effective IT-enabled teaching and learning methodologies have evolved slowly and patchily. This situation is gradually making the
polytechnic trainees incompatible in the digital-enabled job markets. Coupled with this development is the fact that the internet has become
the single and largest library and knowledge reservoir thus making it indispensable in the teaching and learning ambit. It has therefore become
imperative and collective responsibility to identify the factors that inhibit the adoption of the technology by the tertiary teachers especially
the Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG) fraternity to bridge the digital gab to add more value to the polytechnic teachers
and graduates and to raise their relevance in the industry. This research therefore comes in, with the case of the Tamale Polytechnic, to
explore the challenges and recommend strategies to stakeholders. Descriptive survey methodology, which is capable of collecting background
information and hard to find data without the researcher motivating or influencing respondents' responses, was used to arrive at our findings.
Towards a Framework for ICTs Integration in Teacher Education in IndiaPremier Publishers
Teachers can only effectively integrate technology in their instruction if they are themselves knowledgeable about the technology. In India, several researches have pointed out challenges hindering effective integration of ICTs in teacher education programme that raise the questions: What is missing in the teacher education and training curriculum? Is there skill training and maintenance for teachers? Do the teacher training institutions have the necessary infrastructure for ICT integration? This paper reports on the findings of a study that attempted to respond to these questions and suggests a possible framework for the successful implementation of teacher training programmes that make advantageous use of appropriate ICTs. It suggests that seven fundamental principles of good practice should be addressed for such programmes to be effective: a shift from an emphasis on ‘education for ICT’ to the use of ‘ICT for education’; an integration of ICT practice within the whole curriculum; a need for integration between pre-service and in-service teacher training; a need for the development of relevant and locally produced content; a need for appropriate educational partnerships; accepting a practice driven approach; and an emphasis on the development of sustainable costing models. Build on modern notions of teaching-learning activities, the paper concludes with a proposed course of action to leverage the real benefits of ICTs for teacher education in India.
Improving understanding of pre service teacher experience with technology int...ijma
Pre-service teachers develop technology competency during their tenure in the college classroom. These
stages coincide with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy and offer the opportunity to learn and model technology
integration. 656 pre-service education students from five universities across the United States completed a
qualitative survey aimed at identifying how they perceived technology integration throughout their teacher
education program. Three themes, corresponding to Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, were identified; 1) preservice
teachers first identify and understand technology as a tool, 2) pre-service teachers apply technology
and analyze the process of integration, and 3) overall, pre-service teachers do not evaluate and create
technology integration experiences. The results of this study are discussed thematically in relation to
Bloom’s revised taxonomy. Limitations are discussed and recommendations for future research examined
for pre-service teacher technology training.

This paper determined the skills needed by business education lecturers, considering the need for them to be at breast with modern technology in the arts of teaching with emphasis on activity-based learning. This study is further heightened with the need to expose business education students to globalized economy. Thus, the need arises to probe the readiness of business educators (saddled with the responsibility of guiding these students) in terms of their competencies in the use of technology in teaching. This study seeks to achieve one objective, answers one research question and test a null hypothesis. The survey research design is adopted and the study was carried out in Nigeria with an accessible population of 500 business educators, out of which 217 respondents were used. A questionnaire on technology-driven teaching skills and content delivery in Business Education generated data for the study analyzed using Linear Regression Analysis. Findings are that technology-driven teaching skills significantly predict effective delivery of the content of business education. This implies that business educators require skills in the use of modern technology in teaching business education. Based on the finding of this study, it is concluded that the effectiveness of content delivery in business education in today’s globalized society is to an average extent dependent upon the skill level of business education lecturers in the use of technology in teaching.
DIGITAL COMPETENCES FOR TEACHERS – THE DIGI.KOMPP MODEL IN AN INTERNATIONAL C...ijejournal
The digital competences of teachers have not yet been given sufficient attention in Austria. In order to meet
this need, the digi.kompP model has been developed on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and
Women's Affairs, led by the University College of Virtual Teacher Education. Based on national and
international framework models, the competency model is to serve as an instrument for self-assessment and
continuous professional development as well as for (higher) school development. The following is a brief
overview of international models that were relevant for the development of the competence grid. After that
the competence grid itself and its categories are presented. The article concludes with a discussion of the
integration of the competence grid into the international framework and its benefits in the Austrian
education system. This article aims to make a theoretical contribution to the categorization of teachers'
competencies.

However, about a third of student teachers in both institutions practiced only two times or less using ICT. Those who practiced mostly used a teacher-centred approach as did their college and school mentor teachers who integrated ICT in their lessons. The variable describing competency in ICT-based teaching correlated with student teachers' attitudes, the number of ICT-based lessons they taught, modelling by the school mentor teacher, and the various schools’ infrastructures and support. The results show that students in Israeli institutions are better prepared to teach with ICT which can be explained by the impact of the latest national reforms. We conclude that students' perception of their TPACK is the function of a variety of factors: on a personal level (attitudes towards the contribution of ICT to teaching and learning); on an institutional level (curriculum, modelling by faculty, institutional strategies); on a field practice school level (modelling by school mentors, infrastructure, pedagogical, technological, and administrative support); and on a national level (reforms and their implementation models). All these factors must be considered to promote the pedagogically innovative integration of ICT in teacher training and the overall education system. The best strategy to achieve this goal is to support collaboration between TEIs and schools on the national level. Wide-scale implementation of ICT in teaching demands significant investments in infrastructure and training. Hence much of its success depends on the national vision and priorities given to this purpose.

Teaching has always been a challenging profession since knowledge has been expanding and essential skills have been increasing and changing. With these challenges, teachers need to engage educational technologies to assist them in the teaching and learning process. Engaging educational technologies in teaching are founded on principles and philosophies. Understanding these will help you successfully integrate technologies to allow your students to demonstrate the intended learning outcomes of your field of specialization.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis.

Successful Implementation of TPACK in Teacher
Preparation Programs
Barbara Martin
Illinois State University, United States
Abstract
Today’s teacher education programs should be providing pre-service teachers with ample preparation in
shifting instructional approaches enriched with innovative educational technologies. In fact as Lambert &
Gong (2010) stated “We have entered a crucial time when the technological preparation of teachers has
become an urgent problem we can no longer afford to marginalize” (p. 55). This review of literature
examines recent publications on the topic of technology in teacher preparation through the theoretical lens
of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPACK) which has shown potential to emphasize a
teacher’s understanding of how technologies can be used effectively as a pedagogical tool.
1.INTRODUCTION
Today’s teacher preparation students are considered to be part of the population called “digital
natives” (Prensky, 2001). “Digital natives” have been using technologies in their daily lives for
as long as they can remember. Students are frequently comfortable and savvy with various types
of media and can navigate through various technology obstacles unfazed. However, a recent
study suggests that perhaps education students are not as prepared for 21st
century technology
integration as one might expect. Lei (2009) found that although “digital natives” as pre-service
teachers use technology extensively, their use of technology has been mainly focused on and
related to their social-communication activities and their learning activities as students. As pre-
service teachers, they lack the knowledge, skills, and experiences to integrate technology into
classrooms to help them teach and to help their students learn, even though they fully recognize
the importance of doing so.
With the integration of technology into the daily lives of educators and students it is vital that
teacher preparation programs across the nation respond (Kyei-Blankson, Keengwe & Blankson,
2009). In fact, the National Research Council (2005, 2010) recognizes this need to address
technology integration in both content (e.g., undergraduate science and math courses) and
instructional pedagogy courses. Teacher preparation programs need embrace the shift from skill
focused technology courses to technology infused pedagogy curriculum. Today’s teacher
education programs should provide pre-service teachers with ample preparation in shifting
instructional approaches enriched with innovative educational technologies.

In a meta-analysis of the value and use of technology in K–12 education (Valdez, McNabb,
Foertsch et al., 2004), the North Central Regional Laboratory found that “technology innovations
are increasing the demand for reforms in teaching and learning approaches that, in turn, are
having a significant impact on technology use expectations” (p. iii). New teacher
education graduates should be as literate as the “digital natives” they are intending to
teach and should be confident in embracing the ever-changing world of technology in education
as this will play an integral role in their future classrooms.
In response to this need, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) created
standards for administrators and educators regarding the use of technology in the classroom.
These needs include such things as inspiring student learning, model digital age work and
develop authentic learning experiences for students. These ISTE standards emphasize the
importance of the teacher as a facilitator of knowledge construction and aim to foster continued
improvement in the field of education.
To successfully integrate digital technologies into instructional practices, pre-service teachers
must be trained throughout their undergraduate experiences on technology implementation
resources and strategies (Williams, Foulger, & Wetzel, 2009). The National Educational
Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS.T) were created by ISTE to provide this instructional
support in technology integration. The following concentration areas are covered:
1. Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity
2. Design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments
3. Model digital age work and learning
4. Promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility
5. Engage in professional growth and leadership (www.iste.org)
The NETS.T framework for teacher candidates communicates goals for teacher education
curriculum and articulates objectives for successful technology implementation. With this
framework in mind, schools across the country are developing and delivering curriculum
embedded with technology. Institutions of higher education are aligning teacher certification,
promotion, and tenure requirements with a corresponding set of professional standards (Cohen&
Tally, 2004; Richardson, 2012). Most recently the Council for Accreditation of Educator
Preparation (CAEP formerly known as NCATE), the governing body solely in charge of
accreditation of teacher preparations across the nation, has begun vocalizing the importance of
technology integration across teacher preparation curricula. In the most recent revision of teacher
preparation standards, CAEP has articulated that “technology is a critical area that will require
new learning and substantial innovation by preparation providers” (CAEP, 2014). The
organization also emphasized the importance of technology integration be “imbedded in every
aspect of educator preparation” and chose to recognize it throughout the recommended standards
as opposed to providing an isolated section for technology standards (CAEP, 2014).
Nationally educators agree that there is vital importance in pre-service teachers developing 21st
century technology skills (Pellegrino, Goldman, Bertenthal, &Lawless, 2007). “We have entered
a crucial time when fundamental shifts in the economy, changing nature of the workforce,
demographic shifts, educational competitiveness, globalization of society, and computerization of

the workplace make the technological preparation of teachers an urgent problem we can no longer
afford to marginalize” (Lambert& Gong, 2010, p. 55). While it seems that most teacher
preparation programs would agree with this argument, many are still operating under an older,
skill-oriented framework that provides technology instruction in a stand-alone course (Parette,
Quesenberry.,& Blum, 2010). Moreover, many programs have not taken the time to rigorously
evaluate if the students are successfully being technologically prepared (Williams et al., 2009).
2.What is TPACK?
Educators interested in successful technology implementation and integration into K-12
classroom as well as teacher education programs have become familiar with the TPACK
framework (Technology Pedagogy and Content Knowledge model). TPACK is a framework for
describing and understanding the goals for technology use. The model introduces the
relationships and overlapping between all three basic components of knowledge (technology,
pedagogy, and content) (Koehler & Mishra, 2009). TPACK emphasizes a teacher’s
understanding of how technologies can be used effectively as a pedagogical tool and illustrates
the rich overlap among the pedagogy, content and technology knowledge bases (see Figure 1).
Figure 1:TPACK framework (Koehler & Rosenberg, 2014)
TPACK is based on the work of Shulman (1986) which suggested the combination of pedagogy,
content and knowledge (PCK) as the key to effective teaching practices. Rather than providing
information on content and knowledge separately, Shulman illustrated strength in the overlap
between the two constructs. To address a growing need for guidance in technology integration,
Koehler and Mishra (2009) expanded Shulman’s PCK model by adding an additional dimension,

20
technology (Figure 1). At the core of TPACK, technology, pedagogy and content combine to
illustrate the optimal goal of technology infused curricula as suggested by ISTE NETS
technology standards as well as the accreditation body CAEP. This meeting point at the core of
TPACK clearly articulates the utopian goal for both classroom teachers and higher education
instructors. Thus, the creation of the TPACK model emerged to become a very valuable tool in
examining how integrated technology can seamlessly strengthen instructional strategies as well as
content knowledge in curricula (Brantley, Kinuthia, Shoffner, et al., 2007; Cox & Graham, 2009;
Hu& Fyfe, 2010; Hsu, 2012; Koelher& Mishra, 2008; Schmidt, 2009).
Through the TPACK lens, researchers examine strategies for successful technology integration.
In this review of 35recent professional journal articles on TPACK, several reoccurring themes
emerged: Student technology confidence, Leadership and modeling of technology integration,
and assessment/evaluation of technology integration. This paper will examine and synthesize
these suggestions for successful technology integration in teacher preparation in an effort to
articulate key supported considerations for implementation.
3.Student Confidence
Much of the research and literature published on the topic of TPACK is based on the building and
assessment of student confidence in technology integration (Gao,Choy, Wong, & Wu, 2009;
Hersh, 2013; Mayo,Kajs,&Tanguma,2005). One might hypothesize that this theme is so
prominent due to the difficulty of quantifying technology integration and the relative ease of
obtaining student perception via survey responses. On the other hand, it is important to note that
student confidence in technology integration does play a significant role in continued use of
technological tools and strategies (Mayo et al., 2005).
In fact, a recent publication Gao et al. (2009) stated “failure to raise the teachers’ competence
during pre-service education may result in the pre-service teachers quickly forsaking the use of
instructional computer technology in practice” (pg. 725). Similar research by Hersh (2013)
suggests that for successful implementation, the use of technology should be embedded in
content-specific and methods coursework to increase teacher confidence. Finally, Mayo et al.
(2005) concluded that increased use of educational technologies resulted in increased self-
efficacy of technology integration. These findings all suggest that the first step to building
TPACK in teacher preparation is through building confidence through exposure.
4.Leadership and Modeling of Technology Integration
While exposure to technology learning opportunities was often cited in TPACK literature,
exposure to technology modeling was equally emphasized as an integral factor of successful
technology integration. In fact, TPACK literature frequently cited education instructors as vital
components in technology learning as they play an important part of technology role models for
pre-service teachers (Koch,Heo, & Kush, 2012; Kopcha, 2010; Thomas, Herrring, Redmond &
Smaldino, 2013).
In another recent publication, Goktas, Yildirim, andYildirim, (2009) articulate how important it is
for teacher educators to act as role models for prospective teachers by using technologies in their
own teaching. The authors illustrates how specifically instructor competency and willingness to
5. International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education (IJITE) Vol.4, No.1, March 2015
21
use technologies in teaching will enrich their courses in the technology-integration process while
modeling best practices for pre-service teachers. This sentiment was echoed in another article by
Hsu (2012) that stated “modeling from course instructors is a critical component” of technology
in teacher preparation (p. 198).
This point was even further supported by recent research by Kovalik, Kuo, and Karpinski.
(2013).Results from the study indicated that teacher candidate observations of technology-rich
elementary classrooms significantly increased pre-service teacher technology knowledge in all
five standard areas of the NETS technology standards for teachers. Similarly, Koch et al. (2012)
published a study that showed that technology modeling and program design within a teacher
education program can have a significant impact on pre-service teachers, thus improving their
perceptions about their ability to integrate technology. This professional goal may seem easier
said than done as Gronseth, Brush and Ottenbreit - Leftwich, et al. (2010) suggest “Many
methods faculty fail to provide appropriate modeling, as they themselves struggle with keeping
up with best practices in current technologies” (pg. 30).
While these findings articulated the profound influence that instructor modeling can have on
teacher candidates, Thomas et al. (2013) extended this concept by stating “Leaders, deans and
department heads must be an integral part of the change process for successful technology
integration to take place”(pg. 55). These recent publications illustrate the importance of modeling
technology integration not only by education instructors but also by university leadership and
administrators as these individuals articulate the expectations by which the students model their
own efforts.
However, building confidence through exposure and modeling are just two of the many ways that
TPACK can be established in teacher preparation programs. As Gao et al.(2009) suggest,
building TPACK in teacher preparation programs takes a multifaceted effort. The authors
illustrate this concept particularly well in their recent publication by stating the following:Teacher
education programs need to adopt various strategies to nurture a sophisticated, constructivist view
of technology integration. For example, teacher education programs need to challenge pre-service
teachers by involving them in critical reflection upon their own practice, providing on going
guidance, modelling and collaboration (p. 726).
In fact in many recent publications researchers cited reflection as a suggested integral part of
building and evaluating successful TPACK in teacher preparation programs (Goktas et al. 2009;
Pierson & Borthwick, 2010).
5.Assessment/Evaluation of Technology Integration
Over the past ten years, the field of technology in education has really struggled with ways to
quantify progress toward technology standards. For example, Coffman (2013) describes how the
only measure of whether pre-service teachers possess the technology capabilities to satisfy the
ISTE NETS•T standards at Kent State University relied on whether or not they successfully
completed the one Educational Technology course required. This shows the concern for how
programs are evaluating technology standards.
6. International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education (IJITE) Vol.4, No.1, March 2015
22
Due to this concern, researchers have recently been dedicated to developing reliable assessment
approaches for measuring TPACK and its constructs(Abbitt, 2011; Koehler & Mishra, 2009;
Schmidt, 2009).The goal of this effort is to better understand which areas of strengths and
weaknesses as well as which professional development approaches do increase teachers’
technology knowledge.
In a recent publication Kyie-Blankson et al. (2009) articulated this effort well by stating
“Monitoring and examining students’ expectations and evaluation of faculty use of technology in
instruction is necessary to provide valuable feedback to educators and administrators regarding
effective technology integration in teaching and learning” (p. 211). It’s clear that researchers and
educators are beginning to see the need for systematic design, evaluation, reflection and redesign
is essential in building a strong TPACK foundation (Goktas et al., 2009).
In fact to support and define this need further Pierson & Borthwick (2010) created a model for
meaningful assessment and reflection with TPACK at the core (see Figure 2). This model
illustrates how effective and meaningful assessment of educational technology professional
development (ETPD) requires that educators design in-service learning activities that can be
measured using methods consistent with teaching and learning. The authors importantly note that
reflection and evaluation is an inseparable component of ongoing teacher action and growth.

6.Integrated Technology in Teacher Preparation
The final theme that became evident through the review of literature on TPACK was in the
delivery of information to pre-service teachers. According to a 2006 Educational Technology in
Teacher Education Programs for Initial Licensure study, 100% of all teacher preparation
programs in the United States provide instruction on technology integration (Kleiner, Thomas,
Lewis, & Greene, 2007). While standards have consistently provided a guideline for what
students need to know, universities have chosen the delivery of technology in teacher preparation
courses in two separate ways (Kay 2006; Teclehaimanot, Mentzer,& Hickman, 2011; Torre,
2013; Wentzler, 2008) the traditional, stand-alone and the nontraditional, integrated approach.
More recent research in teacher preparation has encouraged instructors to incorporate
technologies into their courses to strengthen student confidence, build contextual knowledge and
model technology integration (Wetzel, Foulger, & Williams, 2008). However because many
universities have not moved to full technology integration, there is a heavy reliance upon the
traditional, stand-alone technology courses to provide all of the technology knowledge needed by
pre-service teachers.
In fact, in a national study by Gronseth et al. (2010), eighty percent of faculty members
responsible for technology experiences indicated all or some of their programs required a
standalone educational technology course. In the same study when asked to describe changes they
would make in their programs, more than half of the educational technology faculty expressed a
desire to have more systemic technology integration, particularly in field experiences and
methods courses. Similarly, Mouza& Klein (2013) mentioned “Often, pre-service teachers learn
about technology, content, and pedagogy in separate course work, giving them an incomplete
picture of how technology can support student learning”(pg. 149).
In a recent study that analyzed technology perceptions in teacher preparation programs, students
communicated a disconnect between their technology training and the rest of their program
courses. Sutton (2011) shared that students articulated a misalignment with the program
expectations of technology integration into course work. However, paradoxically students
noticed a lack of emphasis on technology training outside the one required technology course. So
frequently noticed is this phenomena that it has created its own name: Techno centric. A term
that Seymour Papert (1987) coined to identify overemphasis on the tools of the technologies
rather than the learning that they can support, techno centrism defines the stand alone traditional
technology courses that are stifling the depth suggested by the TPACK model.
As an alternative to more traditional stand-alone courses, Hersh(2013) suggests that the use of
technology should be embedded in content-specific and methods coursework to increase teacher
candidate confidence in their technology implementation skills. Collier, Weinburgh and
Rivera(2004) echoed the same sediment when it stated that “a key recommendation for teacher
educators is to consider that technology literacy no longer be acquired through a series of
discrete, perhaps isolated courses, but integrated in and across the curriculum content” (p.466).
Hsu (2012) examined the impact of educational technology courses on pre-service teachers’
development of knowledge of technology integration in a teacher preparation program and
recommended the following:
8. International Journal on Integrating Technology in Education (IJITE) Vol.4, No.1, March 2015
24
• First, although it is important to introduce technology knowledge (TK) early in a teacher
education program, professional development activities might be offered regularly to pre-
service teachers to keep them updated on emerging technology and technology
commonly available in their placement schools.
• Second, it is essential that educational technology faculty, methods course faculty and
school teachers collaborate to develop technology-integrated teacher education curricula
that help pre-service teachers to develop technology content knowledge (TCK).
Another suggestion from recent literature by Kovaliket al. (2013) found that when teacher
preparation courses were redesigned with all five standard areas of NETS-T in mind, pre-service
teachers made significant progress in technology knowledge. To support the previously
mentioned Pierson & Borthwick model, the importance of student reflection for technology
growth was again cited this time in the form of student work. Specifically Mouza& Klein (2013)
suggest projects such as case studies that allow pre-service teachers to engage in reflection on
their own practice have the potential to help participants begin to notice the interacting
connections that form the ultimate goal of successful TPACK integration.
Hu & Fyfe (2010) recently shared another illustration when their teacher preparation program
recently updated the curriculum. The more modern integrated approach to technology instruction
shared how students quickly began to show evidence of TPACK development. In the study Hu &
Fyfe (2010) shared findings that suggested the new curriculum helped boost the pre-service
teacher’s confidence in their abilities in choosing the right technology tools to enhance
the teaching approaches for a lesson and students' learning.
7.Conclusion
Through the review of TPACK literature, it is evident that many teacher preparation programs are
relying on out-of-date technology models and are in need of redesign. Suggested improvements
have focused on building confidence through exposure, instructor and administrative modeling,
effective evaluations and technology embedded curriculum. All of these strategies have potential
to strengthen teacher education programs and prepare pre-service teachers for 21st
century
instruction. Perhaps Gaoetal. (2009) illustrated the complexity of improving technology
integration in teacher preparation best when they stated “The development of technology based
pedagogy is an active, on-going process situated in multiple contexts. It is therefore imperative
for teacher education programs to adopt various strategies to guide, model and support pre-
service teachers’ development of technology based pedagogy, until it becomes an integral part of
their professional growth” (p. 727).
Perhaps what educators should consider is how we can expect students to grow when we have not
grown ourselves as instructors? We cannot teach with 19th
century skills and expect our students
to be prepared in the 21st
century. What should our 21st
century teacher preparation courses look
like?
