This multi-faceted research study examined the current approach of educational
technology courses and how integrating modern learning technologies into curriculum
effectively is addressed in pre-service education programs at U.S. universities. The
primary goal was to explain the current trends in the reviewed pre-service programs in
relation to how future educators are prepared by the universities to incorporate
educational technology and use technology enhanced curriculum. This study was an
exploratory, non-positivistic qualitative study that employed multi-strategy and survey
research approaches in order to establish a baseline of the way that technology
integration skills are being addressed in undergraduate pre-service educator programs
today. Survey participants were educators within a public or private K-12 system in the
U.S. The participants' level of education, university attended, educational technology
experience, and technology perceptions were gathered from the survey's Likert-type
and open-end questions. Current and historically statistics and data were collected for
each university identified from the survey responses. Findings of this study revealed
outcomes related to participants' education, perception of educational technology, and
university educational technology course offerings and/or requirements for
undergraduate pre-service educator programs. Results of this research study provide a
solid foundation for future research in these areas within the field of education.
