A BRIEF STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF AN ICT ENABLED INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMME ON TPACK AND SELF CONFIDENCE AMONG PRE- SERVICE TEACHERS

ABSTRACT

Incorporating ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) into classrooms in a meaningful way has become a problem for educators and academics alike. Many research involving the use of ICT in education have therefore used the TPACK framework. A thorough comprehension of this change and, in particular, of how pre-service teachers’ views on the use of technology changed after completing their formal education in education seems to be lacking from the papers available thus far. For this reason, a total of fifty pre-service teachers’ responses were gathered in a single survey; then, "using t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA), a predictive model was developed showing that pre-service teachers’ TPACK contextual knowledge and technological knowledge contain the best information to predict their attitudes towards the integration of ICT in the teaching environment".
