ATTITUDE OF PUPIL TEACHERS TOWARDS USING CYBER RESOURCES

<p>In the last two decades, rapid developments in information technology, such as the Internet, </p> <p>have made considerable and dramatic impact on contemporary educational practice. For example, the </p> <p>Web-based teaching and learning where educators integrate the cyber resources into instructional </p> <p>practice can not only provide learners with distant, interactive, broad, individualized and inquiry-oriented learning activities, but also promote their knowledge construction and meaningful learning. As<br>the cyber resources are broadly used for educational purposes, pupil teachers may have more rich<br>experiences of utilizing the cyber resources. However, while students have increasingly more<br>opportunities to utilize the Internet to enhance their learning outcomes, studies about the nature of<br>learners' Web use have not kept pace with their usage of the Internet. As a result, the nature of students'<br>Web use, such as their perceptions, attitudes and self-efficacy toward the Internet, should be highlighted<br>by educational researchers.</p> <p>
