Description
Summary:Identifies some of the characteristics of Maldivian teacher educators (TE), in terms of the concept of habitus defined by French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu, when they incorporate information and communication technology (ICT) in their teacher education programmes in the Maldives, where education is, broadly, teacher-centric and exam-focused. 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.
