Abstract

This paper will discuss the status of a multi-year study to evaluate the technology capabilities of preservice teachers (PSTs). PSTs in a required technology integration course at a midwestern university in the USA were surveyed to assess their capabilities against the ISTE NETS. In the technology integration methods course PSTs are guided to critically and creatively apply the concepts, principles, and hardware/software associated with technology integration to solve educational problems and meet challenges in their roles as facilitators of learning. Using a pre/post design, data were collected at the beginning and the end of the course to measure growth. Data will also be collected from a small group of PSTs after student teaching and during their first year of teaching. Descriptive and correlation statistics were used to analyze the data and determine the impact of the technology integration course as part their professional preparation. Results to date are presented.
