Examining the Realities of Novice Teachers’ Technology Integration

• In Event: Pedagogical Approaches to Preservice Teacher Preparation on the Use of Technology

Abstract

This study used the Survey of Technology Use in Literacy and Language Arts (Hutchison & Reinking, 2011) to understand classroom teachers’ perspectives of technology integration. Results revealed teachers conceptualized technology integration in ways that reflected both technological and curricular integration. Additionally, a multiple regression analysis suggested that perceived importance of technology-based activities was the best predictor of teachers’ integration of those activities. Additional findings related to the teachers' perceptions of technology-based activities are descried in the proposal.
