This research intends to add to the body of research on “information and communication technologies” (ICT)’s in mathematics teacher education, which is a scant in the Lebanese research literature, and provides scholars and educators with research-based evidence about the status-quo in the field of ICTs in secondary mathematics pre-service teacher education in Lebanon. This study examines a national sample of 43 pre-service secondary mathematics teachers in four top ranked universities in Lebanon, and measures their self-assessed knowledge to use technology in teaching secondary school mathematics and their views about the role of faculties of education in building that knowledge. Findings indicate that pre-service teachers’ readiness to teach within the contemporary Emerging Stage” of national efforts in integrating ICTs in secondary mathematics is moderate in meeting the necessary requirements, but not sufficient to meet the vision of the proposed national educational technology strategic plan by MEHE. The study recognizes implications for teacher education to give more attention to building student teachers’ ICT pedagogy-used knowledge, and to reflect on ICT “good practices” at practicum stage.
