INTRODUCTION

Computers are not magic, teachers are (Craig

Barrett – Ex CEO of Intel Corp.)

Therefore, it is essential to develop ICT competencies for both pre-service teachers and in-service teachers;Identifying trends of ICT in education helps to define needed skills & appropriate approaches in developing ICT competencies for teachers.

BACKGROUND

Trend is a common direction in which targeted things tend to move to in the same period.

There were many papers discussed on trends of using ICT in teaching and learning (S.Retalis, To Xuan Giap, T.Leinonen, Maria Ranieri, Gerry White…)

ICT as learning environment

ICT in education

ICT as a learning subject

ICT as tool of teaching & learning

ICT as a

manag-ement

tool

ICT as an

instruct-ional tool

ICT as a

learning tool

Practice in training ICT skills for pre-service teachers (a case study at the Biology Faculty, HNUE) The status of ICT in education in Vietnam under

the three trends modelDevelop ICT skills of trend (1) and (2) for pre-

Keys:

: Lecturing with presentions to organize students' discussion : Have students used the NiceNet website in their learning (www.nicenet.org) : Have students practice in the computer lab: Have students used, created Webquests: Have students created and presented their own multimedia presentation

-ICT and learning theories, learning methods

-Knowledge of moral, laws associated with ICT in education

Skills of mining internet, editing and selecting multimedia resources for lessons

-Designing ICT – supported constructivist Biology lessons

-Designing ICT – integrated constructivist Biology lessons

-Implementing lessons integrated ICT as trend (1) and trend (2)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

CONCLUSION

The paper has presented a new approach in identifying ICT trends in education in which ICT is put in an interacting system with teachers and students

The three trends of ICT application in education that have been identified by the author helps to define some needed ICT skills for pre-service teachers

The author have implemented an ICT training course for pre-service teachers of Biology at the Biology Faculty at HNUE. The course aims to develop for students ICT skills that match with the three trends of using ICT in teaching and learning and is run under the “through ICT” training model.
