Educational Technology in Teacher Education Programs for Initial Licensure. Statistical Analysis Report

摘要

This report presents findings from a 2006 national survey of all Title IV degree-granting 4-year postsecondary institutions on how teacher candidates within teacher education programs for initial licensure are being prepared to use educational technology once they enter the field. Over the past two decades, considerable federal investment has been devoted to equipping the nation's K12 schools with technology (Culp, Honey, and Mandinach 2005). Yet, despite the near universality of computers, Internet access, and other forms of technology within the nation's schools (Wells and Lewis 2006), many teachers feel ill-prepared to employ these tools effectively in their instruction.
