This study explores preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) attitudes toward technology through case studies conducted in a technology-focused course. Nine PSTs completed four case studies addressing screen time guidelines, virtual reality, the digital divide, and ChatGPT-4. Using the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model as a coding framework, researchers analyzed 36 written reflections. PSTs often viewed technology as a substitute rather than a transformative tool. While many PSTs expressed skepticism about technology, others acknowledged the potential of tools like ChatGPT to enhance teaching, e.g., providing real-time feedback on writing and translating assignments into native languages. The study underscores the value of case studies in helping PSTs critically evaluate technology’s role in teaching and learning. Despite recognizing its inevitability, PSTs need further support to embrace transformative technology use
