Burton, Erin Peters; Frazier, Wendy; Annetta, Leonard; Lamb, Richard; Cheng, Rebecca; Chmiel, Margaret – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2011
Cell phones are ever-present in daily life, yet vastly underused in the formal science classroom. The purpose of this study was to implement a novel learning tool on cell phones, Augmented Reality Games, and determine how the interaction influenced preservice teachers' content knowledge and self-efficacy of cell phone use in schools. Results show…

Developing Preservice Teacher's Computer Competencies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Valde, Rich; And Others – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 1996
To effectively integrate information technology into classroom activities, preservice teachers must know a variety of computer concepts. Presents a model used to instruct preservice teachers in programming activities based on simulation and interactive learning. Students gained an understanding of computer roles, their programming, and…

Using Paired Learning Conditions with Computer-Based Instruction To Teach Preservice Teachers about Telecommunications.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ivers, Karen S.; Barron, Ann E. – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 1998
Investigates the effects of preservice teachers working in paired-learning conditions versus working independently on a computer-based tutorial/simulation designed to teach users about an electronic-mail system. Findings support previous research on the positive effects of paired learning using computer-based instruction designed for individual…
