Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the design of a face-to-face undergraduate educational technology course for preservice teachers. The design of the course used Grossman et al.’s (2009) pedagogies of practice to emphasize the blended teaching practices of teachers in the university’s nine placement districts and designing instruction for technology-rich and blended environments. Using Schmidt et al.’s (2009) technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) survey, Harris et al.’s (2010) Technology Integration Assessment Rubric, lesson plan reflections, and course reflections, this study investigates using the pedagogies of practice to design a course that prepares preservice teachers to teach with technology in technology-rich and blended environments. Results indicate statistically significant growth in preservice teachers’ teaching and technology self-perceptions, technological pedagogical knowledge, and overall TPACK application after the completion of the course. Suggestions for research and practice are provided.
