The Use of Microcomputers in Teacher Training

Sandra B. Cohen, PhD

Sandra Cohen is Associate Professor of Special Education at the University of Virginia. Address for Dr. Cohen: Department of Special Education, Ruffner Hall, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22903.

Terry A. Schwartz, PhD

Terry Schwartz is an Evaluation/Research Associate with the Albemarle County Schools, Charlottesville, VA.

Using their professional experience as a base, the authors promote the need for developing computer competence as well as instructional competence in preservice special education teachers; preservice teachers should have the opportunity to learn from microcomputer technology, not just to use mirrors. The case for this proactive position is made while discussing: 1) the status of educational microcomputer hardware and software use; 2) the current programming vs. computer literacy debate; and 3) a look to the future, where teacher training programs accept such a dual responsibility.
