Pre-service teachers’ perceptions of LAMS as a teaching tool

Abstract

This paper reports on one component of a recent study which examined pre-service teachers’ use of the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) to facilitate their professional learning. Over a period of two semesters, seventeen pre-service teachers took part in an in-depth study of their professional development as a result of authoring a learning design and implementing it during their practicum. This paper reports on the pre- service teachers’ perceptions of LAMS’ useability, flexibility and potential for use in K-12 classrooms.
