Shujing WU

Abstract


Information communication technology (ICT) teaching competency is one of the key competencies of Pre-Service Teachers. This study uses CiteSpace, analyzing 332 studies on “pre-service teachers’ ICT teaching competency” in China over the period from 2004 to 2024 in the database of CNKI. It is found that the research on pre-service teachers’ ICT teaching competency can be divided into the initial development period and the increasing period. A key author group for the research of pre-service teachers’ ICT teaching competency has not yet been formed, and the cooperation between authors and research institutions needs to be strengthened. The main research focuses on six major themes: student teachers, teaching competency, information technology, information literacy, pre-service teachers, and influencing factors. It is believed that there are three directions of deepening the research of pre-service teachers’ ICT teaching competency which are strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation and cross-field integration, integrating evidence-based evaluation and intelligent technology, optimizing methods and simulating problem-driven approach.
