Abstract
ABSTRACT The shift to emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic has further revealed a range of issues related to technology-enhanced learning (TEL). Among these were educators’ lack of prior exposure to more creative and participatory forms of TEL in credential coursework and professional development. To address the new realities of schooling, we must first understand the TEL practices that aspiring teachers have had in their teacher education courses. This study examined the TEL practices of aspiring teachers within and beyond their educational coursework prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as their perceived degree of proficiency with these practices. Our survey research found that participants reported more experience and proficiency with TEL practices involving consumption-based and transactional modes of learning, and less experience and proficiency with practices related to creativity, collaboration, and knowledge generation. We discuss how these findings suggest improvements for credentialing programs in the area of TEL.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
