Abstract

We proposed an instructional design method to integrate ICT (Information and Communication Technology) education into school subject areas. In this study, we developed a training curriculum for pre-service, secondary school teachers to test the method and verify its effectiveness through practical activities. The results indicated that our curriculum promoted providing them with the general principles of ICT education. This helped teachers imagine the use of ICT-integrated lessons and motivated them to implement the new curriculum materials. Hands-on practice such as lesson planning and developing teaching materials proved to be effective ways to provide the teachers with models for technology implementation. However, analysis of the teachers' lesson plans showed that they tended to use ICT as an instructional tool rather than integrating it into educational content. Moreover, those who had no previous experience using computers tended to show a negative attitude to the ICT-integrated curriculum. The study recommended that more deliberate support and incentives are necessary to help teachers improve their lesson planning.
