Abstract

This paper describes the initial findings of a mixed-method, longitudinal study about teacher candidates' technology backgrounds, experiences, and perceptions about using technology. Pre- and post-surveys, based on the International Society for Technology in Education's Standards (ISTE, 2000) were administered once students enrolled in the program and after completing student teaching. The surveys gauged teacher candidates' technology backgrounds (experience and training), as well as their beliefs about their ability to address the content of the ISTE standards. Findings from initial surveys indicate that prospective teachers are computer literate, but need instruction and experience in pedagogical applications of technology. Findings from program end surveys indicate the need to add some questions to the post-survey and to include some additional questions in the focus group interview.
