Abstract

This paper presents a rationale for integrating two theoretical perspectives on information and communication technology (ICT) education. The CATI (Contextualize, Apply, Transfer, Import) framework for implementing ICT in developing countries is integrated with a cultural ecological framework based on interactions and transactions between people and their environments (taken in an inclusive sense). The intention is to arrive at a framework which better reflects the ecology and localization of people's interactions with ICT. The integrated framework is being refined against data from work with trainee teachers at the University of Joensuu, Finland. Data are being collected from student learning diaries and records of their engagement with practical tasks. The framework underpinning the bases on which evidence is being collected is explained.
