Abstract

The main objective of this study is to develop a self-report instrument to measure pre-service teachers' perceptions of the extent to which they experience the necessary support and training in order to integrate technology into classroom activities. The questionnaire items of this instrument were drawn up on the basis of a synthesis of 19 qualitative studies (Tondeur, van Braak, Sang, Voogt, Fisser, & Ottenbreit-Leftwich, 2012) and were reviewed by experts in the field. In order to study its reliability and aspects of validity, data were collected and analysed consisting of a sample of 688 pre-service teachers in Flanders (Belgium). The resulting scale showed highly satisfactory psychometric properties. Item response theory revealed a good fit of the measurement to a Rating Scale Model for 22 out of 24 items. The results also indicate that the items differ in their degree of difficulty. It seems that helping pre-service teachers to design ICT-rich lessons and providing adequate feedback can be considered more challenging for teacher training institutions. Recommendations are given regarding how the new scale can be useful for both teacher training institutions and schools in developing approaches to equip pre-service teachers with the competencies needed to integrate technology in teaching and learning processes.

5. Discussion and conclusion

The aim of the current study was to provide an instrument to measure pre-service teachers' perceptions of the extent to which they experience the necessary support and training in order to integrate technology into classroom activities. Specifically, we focused on the strategies included in the inner circle of the SQD-model as depicted in Fig. 1: 1) using teacher educators as role models, 2) reflecting on the role of technology in education, 3) learning how to use technology by design, 4) collaboration with peers, 5) scaffolding authentic technology experiences, 6) Providing continuous feedback.
