Abstract
Abstract: This paper reports the findings of a study conducted on pre-service teachers enrolled in a teacher preparation course: "Teaching with Micro-computers", at a major rocky mountain university. Analysis of variance and regression analysis techniques were used to examine the relationship between pres-service teachers' intentions to use technology in their future classroom and their computer experiences and learner characteristics. This study also suggests ways to improve per-service teachers', intent to use technology. Findings indicate that learner characteristics- age, gender, significantly influence intent to use technology. The study also indicates that pre-service teachers' intent to use technology increases with their computer experience, which was measured as the number of computer-based courses enrolled and number of hours spend on computers per week by a pre-service teacher, but after a particular level of experience, intent actually starts declining. This finding can be very helpful in effectively designing the technology integration courses for pre-service teachers.
