Measuring Technology Skills and Self-Efficacy for Technology Integration in Pre-service Teachers

• In Event: TED - Pre-Service Teachers and Technology Integration

Short Description

Young teachers currently entering the profession are often presumed to have an innate understanding of technology; however, due to their still-developing pedagogical skills, pre-service teachers may actually have low self-efficacy for technology integration. The purpose of this study is to assess pre-service teachers’ technology skills and self-efficacy for integrating technology and pedagogy. In this session, results and implications of this pilot study will be discussed.
