Research into the best method for developing preservice teachers who integrate technology is mixed in its conclusions. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) study in 1999 indicated that integrating technology training into teacher education classes was the strongest predictor of success. However, subsequent research identified the self-contained class in educational technology as an essential tool for developing technology-integrating preservice teachers. This study compared survey results of two elementary education cohorts, both part of the Master of Arts in Teaching program that is part of the National-Louis University Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology grant, on their skills necessary to be successful technology-integrating teachers. One cohort received their introductory educational technology course as a class integrated into an introductory special education class while the other cohort received their introductory educational technology class as a separate, stand-alone class. Results indicated several areas where greater gain scores between pre-test and post-test were reported by the group receiving the stand-alone class. The student survey form and two syllabi are appended. (Contains 18 references and 16 tables.) (Author)
