Perceptions and Prospects: Technology-Enabled Teacher Education in the Digital Age

Abstract

The integration of technology into education has led to significant transformations in teacher education programs. This study examines the perceptions of learners regarding technology-enabled teacher education programs. It explores the experiences and viewpoints of a diverse group of teacher education students, ranging from pre-service teachers to experienced educators pursuing advanced qualifications. The study reveals that learners generally perceive technology-enabled teacher education programs positively, highlighting advantages such as increased accessibility, flexibility, engagement, and personalization. However, they also acknowledge challenges related to technical issues and the digital divide. These findings emphasize the importance of ongoing research and development in technology integration within teacher education to better prepare educators for the digital age classroom.
