Abstract: | This article reports the development of an instrument to measure preservice teachers’ perceptions of the Study Landscape (SLS),
which is an ICT-infused learning environment that encourages preservice teachers to direct their own learning to build a two-way
relationship between theory and teaching practice. This study comprised a qualitative and quantitative part. Six factors derived
from interviews with users formed the basis of the instrument: (1) Support of Learners’ Initiatives; (2) Support of Information
Searches; (3) Support of Interaction; (4) Relationship with Fellow Students; (5) Relationship with Teacher Educators; and
(6) Relationship with SLS Staff. Once developed, the questionnaire was responded to by 186 students. Analysis of the data
supported five out of six factors. |
