摘要：With the education systems demand of contemporary technologies, teacher trainees should beimparted with competencies and skills to integrate information and communication technology(ICT) into their future teaching and learning practices. This study assessed classroom ICTsintegration opportunities and the challenges in relation to Technological Pedagogical and ContentKnowledge (TPACK) and SAMR (Substitute, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition)models. The case study involved tutors and teacher trainees (N=206) from teacher trainingcolleges. Results indicated that, majority of respondents have low pedagogical ICTcompetencies. However, tutors exhibited good knowledge level in all TPACK and SAMRconstructs that we assessed, teacher trainees’ revealed poor skills and inefficient support on theuse of basic ICTs (hardware, software, and associated peripherals). The impacts of TPACK andSAMR models characteristics related to the technology use planning and redesign of learningtasks was evident. Most of the challenges identified were associated to the lack of infrastructures,readiness to change and lack of competencies on pedagogical ICTs applications. Among others,we recommend the government to work on a harmonized ICT in education integrationframework; that consider the existing opportunities and challenges facing Tanzania teachertraining systems. Further work should focus on carrying out an experimental research design tounlock the existing ICT use realities
