Can You Picture This? Preservice Teachers' Drawings and Pedagogical Beliefs about Teaching with Technology
Lindstrom, Denise; Jones, Gwen
Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), v21 n3 2021
This study was conducted in the context of an introductory three-credit course in a master of arts and teacher certification program offered at a large land grant public university in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region. Researchers examined preservice teacher drawings of teaching with technology and their reflection on their drawings to identify their pedagogical beliefs. Unlike prior research that shows classroom technology is mainly used by the teacher, most of the drawings in this study depicted students using handheld technology, an indication of more student-centered teaching. However, analysis of preservice teacher descriptions of the drawings shows that change in preservice teacher depictions of teaching with technology is likely the result of more ubiquitous access to handheld technology in K-12 schools rather than a change in pedagogical beliefs. The researchers suggest that teacher educators should work to develop preservice teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge to facilitate technology integration to support constructivist teaching practices.
