This study found that the majority of the teachers disagree that their lecturers used ICT integration in their pre-service programs. Although, nowadays the pre-service teachers may be more skilled in ICT than their lecturers, Willis and Raines (2001) assumed that any change movement such as the use or integration of new technologies must start with the teacher education programs, and it can be achieved when teacher education programs focus on technology as the central part of the education program. Also, Evans (2006) stated that in order to make pre-service teachers effectively learn ICT integration and be competent, university lecturers must facilitate the ICT adoption and model its integration within their classrooms. Richaeds (2003) and Steketee (2005) claim that it is a mistake to assume that teachers can develop their ICT integration skills outside their teacher education courses. This may be because in pre-service programs, lecturers and teachers exchange their personal knowledge and experience related to ICT integration and they create knowledge sharing environment.
So, for entire curriculum ICT has to be studied at three contexts of micro level (class room), meso level (school) and macro level (community).

However, the fact is that ICT is producing a major change in both the content and the processes of learning, such that we do not have the option of ignoring it. . ICT has a central role to play in this primarily because it is having such a profound effect on both the content and processes of learning: the move away from learning facts, the need for elearning skills and attitudes, the importance of student-centred learning and the opportunities for collaborative and interactive learning.

This indicates that ICT plays dominant role in knowledge management (Smith, 2001; Ismail and Yusof, 2010) and contributed to improve KSC among individuals.
