| Summary: | Abstract
This article is part of a research project aimed to broaden the
understanding of the established gap between policies regarding
the use of digital technology and the actual use of digital technology
in Norway. To understand this gap we have conducted a comparative
study between teacher education in Norway and teacher education
in New Zealand, two countries with quite different approaches to
implementing digital technology in education. We found several interesting
differences between the countries. The regression analysis and the
correlation analysis show that the professional use of digital tools
correlates with the teacher educators’ level of digital competence
in New Zealand. On the other hand, in Norway the professional use
of digital tools correlates stronger with teacher educators’ attitudes
towards digital technology in education. Attitudes has a stronger
influence (impact) than digital competence regarding to what extent
digital tools are being used in Norway, and digital competence has
a stronger influence than attitudes regarding to what extent digital
tools are being used in New Zealand. |
