Abstract

In this quasi-experimental study, the authors explored the impact of authentic learning exercises on pre-service teachers' motivational beliefs to integrate technology, as well as the ability of those beliefs to predict intentions to integrate. A questionnaire was used to assess 104 pre-service teachers' motivational beliefs, namely intrinsic and extrinsic goal orientations, task value, self-efficacy, and control of learning in relation to technology integration. Results indicated authentic learning exercises might have enhanced motivational beliefs, particularly self-efficacy and intrinsic goal-orientation. Also, motivational beliefs predicted their intentions to integrate technology into future instruction, with task value predicting significantly. The chapter concludes with implications for practice.
