Kurubacak, Gulsun; Basal, Mine
Online Submission, Paper presented at the Society for Information Technology and Teacher Education International Conference (Albuquerque, NM, Mar 24-29, 2003)
The use and integration of the new technologies, such as the Internet, World Wide Web, new computer software, etc., in educational milieus have been enormously growing for nearly two decades. Not only do these new technologies make an impact in general education, but also within preservice special education teachers who work with one of the diverse groups in the societies. However, it is observed that there are divergence approaches to use and integrate the new technologies into the Special Education Programs in Turkey. The major concern in this study is to examine, analyze and define the experiences, perspectives and expectations of the Special Education faculty in the Research Institute for Handicapped toward the use and integration of the novel technologies into their curriculum.
