Awareness of Teacher Educators in the Integration of ICT into Pre-Practice Sessions of Teacher Education Programmes

Dr. Devanandan K. V.

Abstract: This study investigates how well-informed 300 teacher educators in Kerala, India, are about the incorporation of information and communication technology (ICT) into the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) program's pre-practice sessions. Lesson planning, individual and group instruction, whole-class instruction, and assessment were the five main areas in which ICT was evaluated. A Cronbach's alpha of 0.84 was used to validate a structured questionnaire. The results showed that only 2% of teacher educators had high levels of awareness, indicating that a sizable portion lacked adequate awareness. There were no discernible gender-based differences, but there was a clear urban-rural divide. The results highlight the need for focused training initiatives and legislative changes to close the ICT awareness gaps in teacher preparation.
