Modeling Technology-Enhanced Instruction to Pre-Service Teachers: Reflection on Lessons Learned during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Lisa Facey-Shaw; Granville Pitter
International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology, v19 n2 p166-176 2023
Convincing teacher educators of the need to integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their classrooms has become a less arduous task in the post-pandemic era since educational institutions were forced to shift to emergency remote delivery in early 2020. As a result, it has become very significant that pre-service teachers are fully prepared on how to integrate ICT in a 21st century classroom. This paper uses the experience of an introductory ICT in Education course taught during the pandemic to first-year university Bachelor of Education pre-service teachers as a reflection point for providing a review on lessons learned about technology integration. With no face-to-face instruction, several pedagogical strategies underpinned by the constructivist approach and supported by the Science Technology Mathematics & Engineering (STEM) methodology were incorporated into the course to equip students to integrate ICT effectively and competently in the teaching and learning process. The paper emphasizes the need for effective modeling of technology use by teacher educators to provide expert illustration/demonstration to pre-service teachers for future classroom practice. Further course recommendations and the implications for practice and research post-pandemic are provided as part of this review.
