TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING 1

MODULE 1-Lesson 1

Teaching and Learning with Technology: An Introduction

Module Outcomes:

1. Identified the competency standards of ICT for teaching and Learning in pre-service
teacher education
2. Unpacked the basic concepts of ICT to provide common understanding for teachers and
learners
3. Valued the use of ICT in the teaching and learning process

INRODUCTION:

If there is one thing that changed the world so fast, it is TECHNOLOGY. While there
exists technology in the past as non-digital technology, the current digital technology has been a factor
that shrunk the word and made it flat. It has provided a new environment for learning, new ways
teachers teach and also the new ways of how learners learn. In the beginning, it has created a divide
between the digital natives and the digital immigrants. However as the years go by, such divide has
become narrower and even blurred. This has led to the new educational revolution in teaching and
learning which has been triggered by technology and resulted to better learning outcomes in the 21 st
century.

Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education

What is competency Standards? What are the ICT standards for teaching and learning in Philippine pre-
service teacher Education?

Look at the two teachers in the pictures below. What does picture A show of the teacher? What about

ICT Competency Standards ( CHED-UNESCO) as provided in the 2017, Policy, Standards and Guidelines
( PSG ) for Pre-Service Teacher Education

-The program outcomes for teacher education degrees clearly state that every future teacher: “
demonstrate proficiency in the development and utilization of information, Communication and
Technology ( ICT ) resources in promoting quality teaching-learning process.”

To ensure that the program outcomes related to ICT shall be achieved, competencies were
identified to be developed by every pre-service teacher ( CHED_UNESCO, Bangkok, 2009. )

The ICT Competency Standards is made up of seven domains. Each domain has a set of
competencies. The competencies are expressed in desired learning outcomes. Becoming proficient in
the different competencies will enable you to handle learners of the 21 st century in your future
classroom.

THESE DOMAINS AND CORRESPONDING COMPETENCIES ARE FOUND IN THE TABLE BELOW

TABLE 1: ICT Competency Standards for Pre-service Teachers

Domain 1: Understanding ICT in Education

1.1 Demonstrate awareness of policies affecting ICT in education
1.2. Comply with ICT policies as they affect teaching-learning

ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers ( NETS*T )

An international organization for educational technology called International Society for

Technology in Education ( ISTE ), established standards for both teachers and students. These standards
were also referred to in the development of the Philippine ICT Competency standards which include the
following:

Standard 1: Technology Operations and Concepts

This means that the teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and
concepts

Standard 2: Planning and Designing Learning Environment and Experiences

This standards implies that the teachers utilize the use of technology to plan and design
effective learning environments and experiences.

Standard 3: Teaching, Learning and Curriculum

Teachers should be mindful that in the implementation of curriculum plan, they have to include
strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning.

Standard 4: Assessment and Evaluation

Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation

strategies to collect and analyze data, interpret results and communicate findings to improve
instructional practice and maximize student learning.

Standard 5: Productivity and Professional Practice

Teachers use technology to engage in on-going professional development and lifelong learning
in support of student learning, increase productivity and to build community of learners.

Standards 6: Social, Ethical, Legal and Human Issues

Teachers understand the social, ethical, legal and human issues surrounding the use of
technology in support of student learning who come from diverse background, affirm diversity, promote
safe and healthy use of technology resources and facilitate access to technology resources for all
students

LIKEWISE, ISTE also developed standards needed for students. These standards will be used as a
guide by teachers to plan technology-based activities in which students achieve success in learning,
communication and life skills.

From how technology teachers facilitate learners, outcomes of student learning should indicate
Page

that the following standards have been complied with.

Edtech 1 H. Vallota, LPT

Standard 1: Creativity and Innovation

This standard will produce students who demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge,
develop innovative products and processes using technology from existing knowledge.

Standard 2: Communication and Collaboration

This standard requires students to use digital media and environments to communicate and
work collaboratively to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. This includes
the use of variety of media and formats for global awareness with learners from other cultures.

Standard 3: Research and Information Fluency

Students are expected to apply digital tools to gather, evaluate and use information and plan
strategies for inquiry. This standard expects the students to locate, organize, analyze, evaluate,
synthesize and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media.

Standard 4: Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving and Decision Making

This standard expects the students to use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research,
manage projects, solve problems and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools.

Standard 5: Digital Citizenship

It is required by this standard that every technology student becomes a digital citizen who
demonstrate ethical and legal bahaviour, exemplified by the practice of safe, legal and responsible use
of information. Further, the student exhibits positive attitude towards the support of technology for
collaboration, learning and productivity as a digital citizen…

Standard 6: Technology Operations and Concepts

Sound understanding of technology concepts, system and operation is a standard that students
should comply with. They too, are expected to further transfer current knowledge to learning of new
technologies.

As pre-service teacher education students now, you will have to master the knowledge and skills
( Learning to Know ) for the standards for students. However since you will become ( Learning to
Become )future teachers. As a whole standards for teachers and students look at the table below:
