Design Guidelines for Post-COVID Era Preparation Programs: Action Steps toward Technology Infusion
Sprague, Debra R.; Williamson, Jo; Foulger, Teresa S.
Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, v30 n2 p177-187 Aug 2022
In this post-pandemic era, a P-12 education system void of technology-able educators is unimaginable. With a heightened awareness of how technology is critical for contemporary teaching and learning, some colleges of education are exploring technology infusion, a program-wide and program-deep approach for strengthening teacher candidates' self-efficacy with implementing technology in the classroom. In infusion models, technology-supported learning strategies are "taught," "modeled," and "practiced" throughout the entire preparation program, with all teacher education faculty and P-12 mentors assuming shared responsibility for supporting candidates' growth in teaching with technology. While goals of technology infusion are laudable, achieving infusion is a complex system-wide change process. To address this challenge, this paper outlines seven action steps for transitioning to a more systemic approach to teacher technology preparation and suggests future research to support transformation.
