Studying the Opinions of Pedagogical University Graduates About Learning Technologies

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to study the opinions of senior students at a pedagogical university about educational technologies. A semi-structured interview form, which consisted of 4 questions, was used to collect data. An analysis of senior students’ responses to semi-structured interviews demonstrated a lack of understanding of the concept of ‘teaching technology’ in their teacher training. Most of the students not only failed to clearly identify which specific technologies they planned to use in their future careers, but also showed superficial knowledge in the field of modern educational technologies. The challenges and obstacles students face when integrating technology into teaching practice highlight not only their inexperience, but also their lack of confidence in their own skills. Most students express a lack of preparedness and call for more training in technology, indicating a need for systematic and structured training.
