A Survey of Computer Education Coursesin Canadian Faculties of Education\n\nBETTY COLLIS and WALTER MUIR*  \n## ABSTRACT\n\nParalleling the rapid entry of microcomputers into the elementary and secondaryschools of Canada has been the development of a broad range of credit courses,within faculties of education,designed to train teachers in the application ofcomputer technology to teaching and learning.This survey of computer educationcourses and programs in Canadian faculties of education was conducted inFebruary 1985,in order to provide baseline data for a continuing review of thenature and impact of these courses.The results of the survey confirm that theresponse of education faculties has been quite dramatic,with a total of 260undergraduate and 85 graduate courses now being offered.However,categoriza-tion of the courses shows considerable diversity in both content and sequence.Further,there is no consistency among the various institutions in theirrequirements for computer-related experiences prior to teacher certification.  \n## RÉSUMÉ\n\nEn réponse àl'introduction rapide du micro-ordinateur dans les écoles primaireset secondaires du Canada,les facultés universitaires d'éducation ont développéun grand nombre de cours concus spécialement pour entrainer les professeurs àutiliser I'informatique au niveau pédagogique.Le sondage de cours et deprogrammes concernant I'informatique offerts par les facultés canadiennesď'éducation effectué enfévrier 1985,a eu pour but de procurer un data de base quipermettra de vérifier de facon réguliere la nature et I'impact de ces cours.Lesrésultats du sondage confirment que la réaction des facultés déducation a été desplus vives.Nous avons,en effet,un total de 260 cours pour étudiants sous-graduéset de 85 cours pour étudiants gradués offerts aujourd'hui dans nos universités.Lacategorisation de ces cours révele toutefois une diversité considérable dans lesdomaines du contenu et du développement séquentiel.De plus,il existe un écartconsidérable parmi les diverses institutions quant aux demandes requises enmatiere d'informatique avant d'accorder aux enseignants leur diplome.  \n清  \n62 Betty Collis and Walter Muir  \nWith the use of microcomputers in Canadian schools now well established,theextent to which Canadian faculties of education have responded to the growingdemand for courses that support the use of computers in schools is of interest.Proctor,Schwier,and Brown(1984)provided initial information by publishingcalendar entries of specific computer education courses offered by 18 Canadianuniversities and colleges,and plan to publish a 1985 update involving moreinstitutions.This article,in contrast,attempts to summarize and interpret theresults of a nation-wide survey identifying credit courses relating to computers ineducation offered during 1984-85 by examining the following questions:  \n1.How many undergraduate credit courses directed to computers in education atCanadian universities are currently offered,and how can they be described?  \n2.How many graduate level credit courses directed toward computers ineducation are currently offered,and how can they be described?  \n3.Is there a consensus regarding content and sequence with respect to thesecourses?  \n4.Which departments within Canadian faculties of education offer these creditcourses in computer education?  \n5.To what extent are preservice teachers in Canada required to take somecomputer training before certification?  \n6.Can educators with differing computer-related interests and responsibilitiesfind appropriate course offerings in Canadian universities?  \n## METHOD\n\nRespondents  \nA survey was conducted in February 1985,in which the Dean of every Canadianfaculty or department of education listed in the CEA Administrators'Handbook(1984)was sent a questionnaire.Forty-three of the 49 institutions(88%)responded to the survey.  \nInstrument  \nThe survey consisted of
