Some studies found that pre-service teachers are still
less familiar and knowledgeable of the educational use of the technology
application and how to integrate them into teaching. Teacher educator'
model technology integration and the PSTs participation in teaching and
learning process would be of interest to investigate.
This research explored the experiences of PSTs in blending
technology tools for EFL learning materials through the process of
technology tools selection, technology tools blend process, and the video
accomplishment in a technology classroom. The experiences also directed
to the PSTs' problems during the teaching and learning process.
The case study design is employed
to reveal 32 PSTs' experiences listed in technology course who
collaboratively learn technology integration with support of the teacher
educator using the online learning platform due to the covid 19 outbreaks.
Their self-reflection notes were collected and analyzed thematically
based on the process of selecting and blending the technology to create
EFL video learning and the problems.
In selecting the technology tools, PSTs looked for the ease
of use and their functions. Various sound and video editing tools are
blended to create the video with text fonts downloaded from the internet,
while Powtoon application is the main application for the animation. The
problems they encountered were the covid-19 outbreaks situation, the
internet connection, time management, and low effort to accomplish the
task. It is also found that supported learning materials and discussion
activities in the online learning platform were helpful to PSTs in
experiencing technology integration. Here, the PSTs echoed that they are
motivated to integrate technology for their future teaching.
