Introduction
• Problem – The limited exploration on the challenges pre-service teachers
face when integrating technology in the classrooms.
• Importance & Literature – Pre-service teachers serve as a bridge between
educational theory and real classroom practice, and understanding their
experiences helps improve teacher education programs for effective digital
integration. However, most studies, like Theodorio et al.,( 2024) and
Kaminskiene et al. (2022), highlight only general benefits and challenges,
lacking focused, localized, and updated research on pre-service teachers-
especially in the elementary level and Philippine context.
• Objective - This study aims to explore the challenges of technology
integration in elementary classrooms as perceived by BEEd pre-service
teachers.
• Time-bounded - The research will be conducted after the practice teaching
period of BEEd pre-service teachers in the academic year 2024–2025.
• Statement of the Problem -
• What challenges/barriers that elementary school Pre-service teachers have in
integrating technology?
• How do these challenges impact pre-service teachers' confidence and efficacy in
using technology in the classroom?
• How do resource limitations influence pre-service teachers’ ability to plan and
implement technology-integrated lessons effectively?
• Theoretical Framework - This study is supported by the Social Cognitive
Theory (SCT).
• Research Design - Descriptive qualitative research design,
Phenomenological Approach
• Research Locale - At Tagoloan Community College
• Sampling Design - Purposive Sampling Technique
• Respondents of the Study - 4th year BEED pre-service teacher
• Research Instruments - The researchers conducted a semi-structured
interview to investigate the challenges that the BEED Pre-service teachers
have experience in integrating technology in the classroom.
• Validity and Reliability - To establish validity and reliability, the study
utilized experts validation and respondent confirmation, a key component
of Colaizzi’s method.
• Data Gathering - Colaizzi’s Method
• Ethical Considerations - The study ensures ethics through informed
consent, confidentiality, non-maleficence, and honest, objective data
reporting.
