Hammond, M.; Reynolds, L.; Ingram, J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
This paper examines how and why student teachers made use of information and communication technology (ICT) during a 1-year initial teacher education programme from 2008 to 2009. This is a mixed methods study involving a survey (N = 340) of the entire cohort and a series of semi-structured interviews with a sample of student teachers within the…

Chen, F-H.; Looi, C.-K.; Chen, W. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
In this paper, we devise a diagrammatic conceptualization to describe and represent the complex interplay of a teacher's knowledge (K), goals (G) and beliefs (B) in leveraging technology effectively in the classroom. The degree of coherency between the KGB region and the affordances of the technology serves as an indicator of the teachers'…

Gillen, J.; Littleton, K.; Twiner, A.; Staarman, J. K.; Mercer, N. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
All communication is inherently multimodal, and understandings of science need to be multidimensional. The interactive whiteboard offers a range of potential benefits to the primary science classroom in terms of relative ease of integration of a number of presentational and ICT functions, which, taken together, offers new opportunities for…
