ABSTRACT
This study explored the level of usage of preservice teachers’ and instructors’ utilization of information and
communication technologies (ICT). Thus, the main purpose of this study was to examine factors that contribute
to preservice teachers’ utilization of technology and suggest recommendations regarding to the effective
utilization of technology. This case study used data from a school of education in a private university. Results of
this study indicated that teacher education programs fail to provide appropriate instructional technologies and
computer facilities for both in and out of class activities. Furthermore, three factors that appear to have a
significant influence on the effective use of technology were found to be: (1) the quantity and quality of the
lessons addressing technology in the curriculum, (2) incompetent teachers/lack of in-service training, and (3)
insufficient technological infrastructure.
