Research on the Use of ICT in Classroom Teaching by Trainee Educators: An Analysis Focusing on the Readiness of Trainee Educators

This study examined university students' ICT readiness, classroom implementation readiness, and their use of ICT in educational practice. Additionally, we explored whether the relationship with the supervising teacher and the school culture during educational practice influenced the use of ICT in the classroom. The results indicated that many trainees rated their ICT readiness highly. However, a relatively large number lacked confidence in their skills with spreadsheets and presentation software. The study did not clarify a specific relationship between readiness and satisfaction with ICT-enhanced teaching. No significant relationship was found between the trainees' relationship with their supervising teacher, school culture, and classroom satisfaction. However, the study identified specific difficulties students faced in using ICT in the classroom. Based on these findings, we discussed future guidance for students in teacher training, particularly regarding the integration of ICT into classroom instruction.
