Do teacher education students’ differ among themselves in the level of confidence to integrate ICT in teaching?
Teacher education students at UPM majored in 14 different areas. However, for the purpose of this analysis, these majors were categorized into four main areas, namely, science-related area, vocational- and technical-related area, language-related area, and other area. One-Way ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference in perceptions of the students with regard to their confidence to integrate ICT with teaching [F (3, 673) = 6.05, p < .05]. A post-hoc analysis using Tukey HSD showed that students in vocational majors were more confident than students in science majors. No significant perceptions of confidence were observed among other students (Table 2). On the basis of an independent sample t-test, it was found that the level of confidence differs significantly between male and female trainee teachers (t (672) = 4.33, p = < .05). The study shows that male trainee teachers score significantly higher (M = 48.9, S. D. = 6.07) than female trainee teachers (M = 46.7, SD. = 5.83).
