Abstract
Abstract This paper describes an interactive and self‐paced multimedia tutorial programme that provides pre‐service teachers with a complete range of school system and teaching strategies. Situated learning has been used as the theoretical framework to produce the multimedia tutorial for a pre‐service teachers' School Experience course. The programme allows pre‐service teachers to implement approaches appropriate for teaching a K‐12 curriculum. Two methods of information delivery were investigated: traditional lecturing and multimedia. The results show that using the multimedia tutorial leads to a positive difference in the School Experience course over participants in traditional lecturing. Pre‐service teachers who participated in the multimedia group responded positively to a multimedia approach. This study concludes that using multimedia in teacher education enriches pre‐service teachers' learning and provides them with an opportunity to view and critique various teaching methods and classroom activities collectively.
