The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of integrating information technology (IT) into teaching on teacher education of Taiwan’s secondary education. The study conducted statistical analysis of questionnaires with the data collected from 356 pre-service teachers.

Analysis and discussion were conducted on qualitative opinions provided by 12 pre-service teachers, 10 novice teachers, and 6 persons who dropped out of teacher education, which help further clarify the issue and teachers’ competence as a teacher in the future.
