Abstract
Preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology integration influence their motivation for and future behavior in teaching, but effective interventions to modify attitudes towards technology integration are scarce in teacher education programs. This quasi-experimental study redesigned and integrated one of the most widely used positive psychology interventions-Best Possible Self (BPS)-for use in a stand-alone technology integration course to measure its effect in improving preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology integration. While results show no statistically significant difference between the control and treatment groups, the treatment group had more positive trends (significant increase in positive attitudes) than the control group (no significant increase in positive attitudes) even under the negative influence of pandemic. The results of this study suggest a need for continued development of and research on this type of activity.
职前教师对技术整合的态度影响其教学动机和未来的教学行为，但教师教育项目中缺乏有效的干预措施来改变他们对技术整合的态度。本准实验研究重新设计并整合了最广泛使用的积极心理学干预措施之一——最佳可能自我(best Possible Self, BPS)，用于独立的技术整合课程，以衡量其在改善职前教师对技术整合态度方面的效果。虽然结果显示对照组和治疗组之间没有统计学上的显著差异，但即使在大流行的负面影响下，治疗组也比对照组有更多的积极趋势(积极态度显著增加)(积极态度无显著增加)。这项研究的结果表明，有必要继续发展和研究这类活动。
