Description/Abstract

This TDA funded report describes the challenges and affordances of introducing computing into the initial teacher training of ICT teachers. Five projects are identified that reflect 5 different models of approach to integrating computing activities into initial teacher training in ICT. The descriptions will enable other initial teacher training institutions to consider the model of approach most appropriate for their context. A measure of the success of this funding is the impact upon a provider’s capacity to repeat this process in the future and the impact of the project on colleagues in the ICT teacher training community as a whole. The institutions awarded the research grants and represented as case studies are: Anglia Ruskin University; Middlesex University; Newman University College; University of Reading; and University of Wolverhampton.
