Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the integration of technology in an education foundations course. The study examined the effects of using a WebQuest on the achievement of preservice teachers enrolled in the course, disclosed the attitudes of preservice teachers toward the integration of technology in a research project, and analyzed preferences for completing assignments that integrate technology compared to traditional pencil/paper assignments. The results indicated that technology can be meaningfully integrated into a foundations course to enhance student achievement and promote positive attitudes toward the use of technology. The Going in Circles WebQuest, including the evaluation rubric, and samples of student work are available online.
