With the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the increasing of online teaching materials, ICT is becoming an essential aspect of teachers’ education and competencies. This paper aims to investigate how and why Albanian biology student-teachers use ICT during their master studies. The study method involved a survey (n= 56) of second-year biology student-teachers studying at the Faculty of Natural Sciences in two consecutive academic years, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. The survey explored several topics, including general characteristics (age, gender, academic performance), access to digital equipment, digital competence, and the use of ICTs during studies. Our results show that students have low access to digital equipment. Students with high and average academic performance spent more time using ICT for study purposes than those with low academic performance (p< 0.05). More than 90% of students emphasize that access to digital equipment and training is crucial to help them integrate ICT in their classes as teachers.
