An interactive multimedia (IMM) package incorporating problem based learning (PBL) principles has been developed to assist teachers in learning to integrate information and communications technologies (ICT) into their teaching. The development...

Interactive multimedia (IMM) and problem-based learning (PBL) are both significant trends in contemporary educational practice but they have not been widely applied together in teach-er education. An IMM package based on PBL principles is being...

The focus on information technology in education has shifted towards curriculum integration. Consequently teacher education programs need to prepare graduates for teaching with IT. Graduates should possess both skills in the use of IT and belief...

The self-efficacy for computer use of teacher education students was measured at the beginning of their course and again following a semester in which some students had completed computer courses. At both pretest and posttest the amount of time...

Although Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are now widely available in schools they appear not to have been integrated into teaching and learning either as widely or as thoroughly as was hoped. One influential factor, which may not...

Online education is relatively new and effective course designs are still emerging. A course that was originally offered successfully with small groups has evolved into two courses, which seek to achieve similar goals with greater scalability using...

This paper identifies papers from the 2001 SITE conference which may serve as examples of strategies described in a forthcoming report on Models of Teacher Development for the Integration of ICTs in the Classroom. It provides convenient means of...

This study investigated use of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) (Ajzen, 1985) as a framework for predicting and explaining teachers' intentions and use of ICT in teaching. Instrumentation consisted of a six-part self-report questionnaire: (1)...

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a powerful instructional design for professional education, which may be used to guide the design of interactive multimedia (IMM). An IMM package incorporating PBL principles has been developed to assist teachers in...

Principals have important leadership roles in relation to teaching with ICT. Their approaches are inevitably influenced by personal beliefs. Using case study methodology, this study found that principals' beliefs reflected their long experience and...

Although the technologies and practices associated with teacher education are subject to constant evolution and occasional dramatic change, changes in program structures and implementation are seldom accompanied by opportunities to redesign the...

The design of teacher education programs, including the preparation of teachers for working with Information and Communication Technology (ICT), requires careful balancing of multiple considerations. Due attention should be given to the...

Although many teachers now have access to computers for teaching and learning and profess a belief in the value of computers for education the impact on the day to day work in classrooms is still limited. Even where teachers believe in the use of...

Interactive multimedia using problem-based learning as a design framework (IMM-PBL) has been proposed as a method for influencing teachers' beliefs about integrating computers in their teaching. Initial evaluation of IMM-PBL materials with pre...

Access to models of appropriate practice is an important aspect of pre-service teacher preparation. Multimedia materials can be used to supplement uneven field experience. The project on which this paper is based included materials prepared by and ...

Pre-service teachers participated in an online discussion that included a guest who facilitated conversation about integration of ICTs. Students mostly agreed that integration of ICTs was desirable but differed in their views about specific...

Teachers' visions for and beliefs about working with Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are an important influence on the successful application of ICTs in education. Because beliefs are closely associated with experience, teachers'...

Previous research has identified graduating teachers' dispositions towards teaching with Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as a significant issue for teacher preparation programs. Both increased community access to ICTs and changes...

Abstract: 21st century teaching demands that information and communication technologies (ICTs) are integral to the learning process. Since at least 1995, there have been several attempts to increase the level of ICT integration within the Bachelor...
