Abstract: | Bourdieu’s concept of habitus has been widely discussed as a means of understanding cultural habits
and practices in various contexts. This article identifies some of the characteristics of Maldivian
teacher educators (TE) in terms of their habitus when they incorporate information and
communication technology (ICT) in their teacher education programmes. In the Maldives, education
is, broadly, teacher-centric and exam-focused. The TEs have this deeply ingrained in their teacher
education practices. The findings, generated through an ethnographic approach using narrative
interviews, observations and focus group discussions, suggest that TEs generally adopt ICT to make
their own roles more efficient without necessarily changing their pedagogy, thus embracing teachercentrism.
This article highlights issues linking cultural capital and the formation of specific ICT
habitus within this context, thus contributing to understanding of habitus as it applies to teacher
education in the Maldives |
