“…With the increasing integration of technology in K-12 classrooms, this change makes it necessary for teachers to have a deep understanding and efficiency in technological tools to be able to train individuals with the skills required for using the 21 st century technological tools (Giles, 2019). Thus, it was observed that teacher education programs aim to train pre-service teachers with the necessary skills to integrate technology into teaching and learning experiences (Francom and Moon, 2018). The presence of pre-service teachers with these skills will lead to future good practices (Giles, 2019).…”

Improvements in science and technology have led to changes in education as well as in many other fields. These changes have made it necessary for today’s individuals to have a set of skills in different fields. One of these fields is technology-related skills. Learning environments that require the use of technology undoubtedly play a key role in raising individuals with technological skills. In this direction, the aim of this research is to study the experiences of pre-service science teachers related to the use of technology within the scope of a course. In this qualitative research, a phenomenological methodology was used to reveal the understandings of preservice science teachers on the experience of integrating technological applications into science teaching. In this context, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 pre-service teachers, about their experiences. As a result of the inductive content analysis, the following four themes, which reflect how the participants interpret the integration of technology in science teaching, were determined in line with the experiences of the participants: The technological tools used in the learning environment and why they are preferred, the necessity of the technological knowledge in the teaching profession, the necessity of the use of technology in the learning environment, and the characteristics of a qualified teacher. Based on the results, the practices for teacher education in the integration of technology in science teaching were discussed.

“…Cabaleiro-Cerviño and Vera (2020) highlighted the crucial significance of educational technology in facilitating profound transformations within the classroom. As a result, teacher preparation programmes in universities have the goal of providing teacher candidates with the necessary abilities to effectively incorporate technology into their teaching and learning experiences (Francom & Moon, 2018). Tolulope et al (2015) emphasised the profound influence of technology in higher education, fundamentally changing the way teaching and learning are conducted.…”

This importance of this study is to understand more about readiness and challenges in educational technology so that all university students, lecturers or stakeholders can deal with digitalization era in term of education precisely especially in rural area such as Lombok, Indonesia. This study therefore investigated student teachers in the Faculty of Education at the Islamic University of Mataram during their seventh semester after they experienced teaching training practices program. To accomplish the study's goals, the researcher utilised a mixed-method strategy to gather data. The researcher conducted a questionnaire survey to evaluate the level of readiness and perspectives regarding the utilisation of technology. In addition, the researcher conducted interview sessions with the university's faculty heads to obtain further information. The researcher employed SPSS software to evaluate the quantitative data, whereas the qualitative data were encoded using NVIVO version 14 to find patterns and sub-patterns, facilitating the development of manual coding. The obtained data unveiled multiple elements that impacted the participants' use of technology. The variables can be classified into the following categories: 1) necessity, 2) self-emotion, 3) active user, 4) accessibility, and 5) digital service. The study's findings revealed a connection between the above factors and digital literacy, which is linked to instructional technology. Related to student teachers survey, it is found that they had moderate manifestation of readiness (3.8) and perspectives (3.7) on using technology. The stakeholders also have participated in this process to optimise the utilisation of technology for educational objectives. Thus it is found that networking issue, accessibility, difficulties in utilizing facilitation, and lack of motivation to prepare materials prior to class were the issue shared based on his educational activity experience in this faculty. Hence, it may be inferred that this university fulfils the requirements for education in the 21st century so the further research intends to explore the beneficial of enhancing technology skill for student teachers in their teaching training practices program.
