Abstract: Over the years, developing countries have experience a tremendous growth in access to information and communication technology (ICT). This growth in access to ICT has brought about massive changes in many sectors within the society. There is an absence of enormous empirical literature that explore teacher educators’ attitudes and use of instructional and web-based technologies for teaching in Nigeria’s teacher preparation program. To bridge this gap in literature, the researcher explored Nigerian teacher educators’ attitudes and use of instructional and web-based technologies in teacher preparation program. The researcher used a mixed method study and examined the relationships between educators’ attitudes and use of technology. Findings from descriptive statistics have shown that educators exhibited overall positive attitudes toward technology. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient revealed relationship exists between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Both quantitative and qualitative findings in this study have implications for educators and administrators in Nigerian education, especially, teacher preparation programs.
