Promoting ICT enhanced Constructivist Teaching Practices among Pre-service Teachers : a case Study

The accelerated growth of information communication technology (ICT) and its wide application in our personal as well as professional life has made the teacher educators think seriously about creating ICT enhanced learning context for pre-service teachers to develop their understanding about role of ICT in providing constructivist learning experiences to their students. The reflections of the researchers on the need for developing new understanding about growing involvement of ICT in teaching and learning process and relation between technology and pedagogy while integrating ICT in instructional practices among the pre-service teachers motivated researchers to take a proactive action in this direction. This resulted in the development and implementation of a ICT mediated language education project for Std 7th school students in which twelve pre-service teachers were involved as co -researchers. This paper describes the project experiences of Pre-service teachers in terms of their perceptions about utility of ICT in creating constructivist learning environment in the classroom.
