Abstract

This research review reports on articles presenting empirical research in the area of how teacher-training institutions work on preparing future teachers for the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in their future classrooms. It was conducted mainly in English and French and covers research in 11 OECD-countries during the years 2002–2009. The research is unanimous, even if it is not comprehensive, and it shows that ICT is not used regularly or systematically in the countries reviewed. There are good examples, carried out by enthusiastic teacher trainers, but only a minority of the student teachers benefit from this. Very few articles report innovative use of recent technology. Most of the research reports on the use of computers and traditional computer software. Overall, student teachers do not integrate technology into their teaching. A number of reasons for this are identified. The overall picture is that implementation is necessary at all levels (macro, meso, micro) for a successful outcome, but research also gives examples of how problems can be overcome at a micro-level, which is the level of the actors' pedagogical practice. Enthusiasts do seem to have room for maneuver, but the lack of incentives makes it difficult to involve everyone. Ce document de travail s’intéresse aux études empiriques relatives à la manière dont les institutions de formation préparent les étudiants-enseignants à intégrer les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) dans leurs pratiques pédagogiques. Elle a été conduite en anglais et en français. Elle couvre la période 2002-2009 et onze pays de l’OCDE y sont représentés. Les recherches sont unanimes. Elles montrent que les TIC ne sont pas utilisées régulièrement ou systématiquement dans les pays passés en revue. Bien qu’elles présentent de bonnes pratiques de la part des formateurs, seulement une minorité des étudiants-enseignants en bénéficie. Peu d’articles font référence à une pratique innovante des technologies « nouvelles » (au sens de récentes). La majeure partie des recherches se réfère à l’utilisation de l’ordinateur ou de logiciels traditionnels. Le tableau qui est dépeint montre que les étudiants-enseignants n’intègrent pas les technologies dans leurs pratiques pédagogiques. Un certain nombre de raisons sont identifiées et présentées. D’une manière générale, un déploiement à tous les niveaux (macro, méso, micro) est nécessaire pour un réel succès. Cependant, les recherches mettent également en évidence des manières de surmonter les difficultés au niveau micro (celui des pratiques pédagogiques des acteurs). Ainsi, si les pionniers semblent avoir une marge de manœuvre, le manque d’incitations constitue un frein à l’intégration des technologies dans les pratiques pédagogiques.
