PRESERVICE TEACHERS ON TEACHING WITH AND ABOUT ICT: AN INDONESIAN STUDY
Abstract: Teaching about and
with digital technologies continues to challenge teachers. Aligned with the
permeation of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in our daily lives
is the challenge of ICT in the classroom. Curriculum writers strive to identify
declarative and procedural knowledge needed by future citizens. Teachers strive
to design ICT-enabled learning that engages contemporary learners. The identity of a teacher of ICT and using
ICT for learning challenges preservice teachers as they create their own
identity in the classroom. These
challenges cross borders, both geographical and cultural. Using a research
approach developed by Hunt (2015), preservice teachers in a teacher education
program in Central Java, Indonesia were asked to draw what teachers and ICT
look like, sound like, and feel like. This study builds upon the ideas of
Goodenough (1926) and Chambers (1983) to examine the views of teachers and ICT
held by preservice teachers. These findings can inform the design of teacher
education programs in supporting preservice teachers to build their
self-efficacy as teachers teaching with and about ICT in their classroom and
contribute to the construction of professional learning post-graduation.
