Abstract
The use of IT has had, over the last decade, a growing influence on our educational systems and this is particularly prevalent as we approach the next century, with promises that the Information Technologies will revolutionise education. This paper reports on the findings of a survey of Information Technology and Teacher Education in four secondary schools in China. The investigation shows the current situation of computer use in those secondary schools, the teacher educators’ understanding and their attitudes to the integration of the new technology into the curriculum. In conclusion, suggestions for training have been made based on the above investigation and these will be implemented in the spring of 1997.
