Technological and pedagogical support for pre-service teachers’ lesson planning

Abstract

Successful use of ICT in the classroom requires thoughtful integration of technology and pedagogical processes during lesson preparation. This study investigated whether the information format of technological and pedagogical support affects pre-service teachers' technology integration in lesson plans. One group of pre-service teachers (n = 37) received support materials that presented technological, pedagogical and content information separately; another group (n = 36) received a version of these materials in which the technological and pedagogical information was integrated. Pre-service teachers used these support materials to create a technology-infused lesson plan. As expected, the pre-service teachers who received integrated support had relatively more design justifications in which technology and pedagogy were combined than their peers from the separate support group. However, this more advanced reasoning did not materialise in higher-quality lesson plans. Future research should investigate whether pre-training in the use of ICT could improve the effects of integrated support.

Supporting Natural Science Pre-Service Teachers during Work-Integrated Learning: A Case of a Lesson Study Approach

“…In light of this, Janssen, Knoef and Lazonder (2019) suggest that it is essential for teacher education programmes to mindfully prepare and support pre-service teachers on their journey to becoming professionally skilled for the teaching profession. Mansfield and Beltman (2019) are of the view, that pre-service teacher support is essential for entering teachers to cope with the expected teaching qualities and values portrayed in national educational policy documents.…”

“…Por esa razón, es necesario que la persona que expondrá en una conferencia virtual prepare un guion, que incluya cada cierta cantidad de minutos actividades de interacción con objetivos pedagógicos claros que contribuyan en el abordaje del tema o los contenidos tratados y que no se conviertan en obstáculos o distractores del propósito que persigue la sesión (Janssen et al, 2019).…”
