Abstract

This study compared students teachers' computer use in two universities. Teacher education in the two universities took a different approach in providing computer training to preservice teachers. One offered a stand-alone computer training core course. The other integrated computer training into methods courses. The result revealed that student teachers' computer use was limited in both universities. The author discussed the implication of the result and various ways of computer integration in teacher education programs.
