Abstract

This study investigated the student teachers perception and practice regarding the computer use during the practicum in terms of their teaching styles. The student teachers' teaching styles were measured as teacher-centeredness and student-centeredness. The result of the study showed that there was no significant difference between student teachers' perceptions of teacher-centered roles and their perceptions of student-centered roles teaching in the classroom with computers. The student teachers indicated that they would engage teacher-centered activities and student-centered activities on a equal basis while teaching in classrooms with computers. Nevertheless, the test showed that there was a significant difference between the student teachers' teacher-centered computer use and their student-centered computer use during the practicum. The student teachers used the computer significantly more as a teacher-centered tool than a student-centered tool.
