| Abstract: | In this study, we examined the benefits of preparing teacher candidates (TCs) to integrate technology into their future teaching by infusing technology integration instruction into program methods courses. We surveyed 237 TCs who rated perceptions of their technology integration skills, general preparation, self-efficacy for teaching, and so on. Results indicated TCs believed they were as well prepared to integrate technology as they were prepared to teach in general. Qualitative data provided information on how they had used technology during student teaching and how they intended to use technology in their future classrooms. In conclusion, technology integration was successfully taught in technology-infused methods courses, but we must continue to improve this technology-infused methods course instruction and instructors to more fully achieve our goals of sound technology integration by all TCs. |
