Practicing and prospective teachers’ pedagogical reasoning about using technology in their educational practice.

In 1986, Shulman introduced the concept of pedagogical reasoning and action as an important means for teachers to continually professionalize and improve their teaching. This concept also helps us to understand why and how practicing and prospective teachers use technology in their teaching. In this symposium, we aim to deepen our understanding of prospective, novice and experienced teachers’ reasoning about their uses of technology. In addition, we will explore how pre-service and practicing teachers can be supported in improving the quality of their reasoning about the use of technology in their teaching.
