The data of a case study with three PMTs include their micro-teaching lesson videos, lesson plans, and teaching notes. The data analysis is based on the SAMR-based CT integration matrix with an emphasis on a disciplinary approach. Findings showed that participants integrated CT into their lessons at the substitution level only, but also demonstrated some characteristics of the augmentation level. They prioritized Scratch use over fostering CT and approached mathematics and CT as separate domains. The paper discusses the theoretical implications for operationalizing the SAMR-based CT integration.
