Student Teachers' Experiences and Attitudes Towards Using Interactive Whiteboards
Authors: Steve Kennewell and Alex Morgan, University of Wales, Swansea. Students pursuing a one-year postgraduate teacher education course are required to make rapid changes in their ideas about teaching and learning during their preparation to be elementary teachers. This is particularly necessary in the case of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This paper focuses on one particular aspect of ICT in the classroom: the interactive whiteboard. It examines student teachers’ reports of provision and use in placement schools and analyzes their responses to attitude surveys. It also compares attitudes between groups of student teachers working with early years and upper primary classes.
