Are the future teachers trained in Quebec ready to integrate the information and communication technologies (ICT) in an educational context? To answer this question, a survey was conducted among 2.065 future teachers, 410 associated teachers and 90 stage supervisors from the nine francophone universities that provide pre-service training for teachers, in Québec. Our results reveal that these future teachers have access to adequate equipment so as to familiarize themselves with ICT and master very well basic technological tools. The data collected also show they use them regularly and critically to plan, communicate, look for information, prepare pedagogic materials, solve problems or improve their professional skills. Despite this quite promising picture, our results also show that only few would-be teachers use these technologies in the classroom. Our conclusion brings forth a few recommendations.
