The big challenge: Integrating digital teaching competence in the training of pre-service teachers
Abstract
Preparing teacher candidates for teaching in the 21st century is a great challenge for universities. Teacher training programs must provide trainees with both theoretical and practical knowledge and opportunities for developing professional competences in the digital world. The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of a group of pre-service teachers from a Catalan university on whether their training program and internship enabled them to develop their digital teaching competence. While developing this study, we deployed various qualitative and quantitative instruments of data collection and analysis. Results reveal there are weaknesses in their current training practices but also suggest that a process of change is taking place.
