This qualitative study examines seven pre-service teachers’ epistemological beliefs, their beliefs about learning and teaching, and their perceptions about the use of ICT. Seven pre-service teachers attending a one-year Postgraduate Diploma for Education program at the National Institute of Education in Singapore were randomly selected to participate in this study. The findings suggest that pre-service teachers’ beliefs about learning seem to align with their epistemological beliefs, while their beliefs about teaching are inconsistent with their epistemological beliefs. On the other hand, the pre-service teachers in this study would use ICT in ways that are more aligned with their beliefs in teaching rather than their beliefs in learning.

This study was situated in Singapore, which aims to achieve engaged learning in P–12 schools with the use of educational technology. One of the foci of study among Singaporean educational researchers is a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment. Such an environment emphasizes collaboration among learners for the coconstruction of knowledge. The goal of this case study is to gain insights into how negotiation and coconstruction of knowledge occurs among participating teachers during their participation in a knowledge-building community.

Adopting an activity theoretical perspective towards instructional planning in the technology-enhanced learning environments (TELE), this paper examines two existing classroom-oriented instructional development (ID) models: the model of Reiser and Dick (1996) and the model of Morrison, Ross, and Kemp (2004). It then constructs a classroom-oriented expansive and reflective ID model.

Technology integration is achieved in teachers acting in the capacity of main change agents. The study explores the possibility of relations between teachers' beliefs about teaching and the use of technology. The study shows that a belief in constructivist teaching correlates significantly with both constructivist and traditional uses of technology.
