DevelopmentThe National ICT Competency Standards for Undergraduate Teacher Education

Development Key Activities

1. 1st National Workshop on Supporting Competency-Based Teacher-Training Reforms to Facilitate ICT-Pedagogy Integration Reviewed national education policy goals, identified their impact on

pre-service teacher education, and identified gaps in current pre-service teacher education

Mapped the ICT-related provisions in the NCBTS-TSNA against the ICT-CFT and identified gaps in the current NCBTS

Drafted recommendations for incorporation to the Revised PSGs on Undergraduate Teacher Education to be eventually issued by CHED

DevelopmentICT-CFT NCBTS PROPOSED IMPROVED PIs RECOMMENDATIONSUnderstanding ICT in Education

understand how ICT-based instructional materials / learning resources support teaching and learning

Describe the nature and operations of ICT systems; Explain how ICT systems are applied in teaching and learning process.

Alignment of knowledge awareness, understanding and practice

Curriculum & Assessment

use ICT resources for planning and designing teaching-learning activities use ICT tools to process assessment and evaluation data and report results

Apply appropriate ICT tools in assessing, evaluating and reporting students’ learning.

Faculty in service training on how to construct ICT based assessment Ensure that ICT expertise will be part of the teachers’ evaluation

Excerpt: Mapping and Recommendations for Improvement

Development Key Activities

2. Follow-up Writeshop Processed recommendations from previous workshop and reached agreement

on where the proposed competencies and the ICT-CFT domains and approaches meet

Crafted and agreed on the proposed enhanced ICT Competencies for Undergraduate Teacher Education

Broke down competencies into doable, observable and measurable performance indicators

Developed one Program Outcome (PO) on ICT Pedagogy Integration common to all undergraduate Teacher Education programs and proposed Course Outcomes (CO) for Technology for Teaching and Learning (TTL) 1 and 2

Development Seven Proposed Domains

Understanding ICT in Education Curriculum and Assessment Pedagogy Technology Tools Organization and Administration Teacher Professional Learning Teacher Disposition

DevelopmentCOMPETENCIES PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Domain 1: Understanding ICT in Education

1.1 Demonstrate awareness of policies affecting ICT in education

1.1.1 Discuss national ICT policies affecting classroom practices

1.2 Comply with ICT policies as they affect teaching-learning

1.2.1 Implement ICT policies in teaching-learning

1.3 Contextualize ICT policies to the learning environment

1.3.1 Incorporate ICT policies in the design and implementation of teaching-learning activities.

Excerpt: Proposed Enhanced ICT Competency Standards

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2The National ICT Competency Standards for Undergraduate Teacher Education

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2

Teacher Education Program Outcomes (POs) with Inclusion of ICT 1. Articulate the relationship of education to larger historical, social, cultural and political processes. 2. Facilitate learning using a wide range of teaching methodologies in various types of

environment. 3. Develop alternative teaching approaches for diverse learners. 4. Apply skills in curriculum development, lesson planning, materials development, instructional

delivery and educational assessment. 5. Demonstrate proficiency in the development and utilization of ICT

resources in promoting quality (pedagogy) teaching-learning process. 6. Demonstrate basic and higher levels of thinking skills in planning, assessing and reporting. 7. Practice professional and ethical teaching standards. 8. Pursue lifelong learning for personal and professional growth.

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2

TTL 1 (to eventually replace Educational Technology 1)TTL 1 is a 3-unit core course which all students taking up any bachelor’s degree in Education will be required to take, regardless of their chosen field of specialization. TTL 2 (to eventually replace Educational Technology 2)TTL 2 is a 3-unit course which will focus on the application of ICT for teaching and learning to particular subject specializations under the K to 12 program (Secondary English Education, Secondary Science Education, Secondary Social Science Education, Technology and Livelihood Education) and specific teaching contexts (Elementary Education, Special Education, Early Childhood Education).

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2

Proposed Course Outcomes: TTL 1 (3 units)Explain ICT policies and safety issues as they impact on the teaching-

learning process Integrate media and technology in various content areasApply learning theories and principles in the design and development of

lessons through appropriate media and technologies for teaching learning Formulate teaching-learning experiences and assessment tasks using

appropriate and innovative technologiesDemonstrate social, ethical, and legal responsibility in the use of

technology tools and resources.

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2

Proposed Course Outcomes: TTL 2 (3 units) Develop project- and problem-based, collaborative activities using technology tools Produce learning resources using technology tools in various subject areas Evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of digital and non-digital resources based on

the learning context Use open-ended tools (such as word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software,

and authoring tools) in subject specific application Use ICT to develop 21st Century Skills: Information, Media and Technology Skills,

Learning and Innovation Skills, Life and Career Skills, and Effective Communication Skills. Use technology tools to collaborate and share resources among communities of practice

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2

Key Activities 3. Orientation for Technology for Teaching and Learning (TTL) 1 and 2

Sample Syllabi Writers Mapped proposed enhanced ICT Competency Standards against

proposed COs for TTL 1 and 2; Reviewed TEIs’ current Ed Tech 1 and 2 syllabi to identify parts which

can be incorporated into the proposed TTL 1 and 2 courses and identify gaps which need to be addressed by the sample syllabi

Craft sample syllabi for TTL 1 and 2 following the CHED TP-TE endorsed OBE Course Syllabus Template

Operationalization into TTL 1 and 2

Key Activities 4. Workshop to Finalize Sample Syllabi for TTL 1 and 2 Review, revise and finalize the sample syllabi for TTL 1 and TTL 2

following the CHED-endorsed Outcomes-Based Course Syllabus Template

Reach mutual agreement on the workplan for full adoption and implementation of the national ICT competency standards for undergraduate teacher education, TTL 1, and TTL 2
