Integrating Educational Technologies into Teacher Education: A Case Study
Rawlins, Peter; Kehrwald, Benjamin
Innovations in Education and Teaching International, v51 n2 p207-217 2014
This article is a case study of an integrated, experiential approach to improving pre-service teachers' understanding and use of educational technologies in one New Zealand teacher education programme. The study examines the context, design and implementation of a learning activity which integrated student-centred approaches, experiential learning, authenticity and the particular needs of the New Zealand school curriculum to foster pre-service teachers' learning about educational technologies as both pedagogical tools, and as "disruptive" forces which can promote the re-imagining of existing practices. Evaluation data are used to highlight support for an integrated approach to the use of educational technologies outlined in the case in question.
