| Summary: | <span>Are Quebec's future teachers ready to integrate information and communication technologies (<span><span>ICT</span></span>) into the scholas<span>tic</span> context? To answer this question, a study was conducted with some 2,065 future teachers, 410 associate professors and 90 supervisors of teaching practices from nine French-speaking Quebec universities offering a beginning teacher-training program. The results show that these prospective teachers have access to the equipment needed to become familiar with <span><span>ICT</span></span>, and that they use basic technology skills well. Furthermore, the data collected revealed that teachers in training use <span><span>ICT</span></span> regularly and reflectively to plan their classes, communicate, search for information, prepare didactic materials, solve problems, or improve themselves professionally. Although the profile shown is promising, the study results also indicate a very low proportion of future teachers who use <span><span>ICT</span></span> in the classroom.</span> |
