Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine 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. “

• It is made up of seven domains. Each domain has a set of competencies.

The competencies are expressed in desired learning outcomes.

These domains and corresponding competencies are found in the Table

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

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

Standard 2: Planning and Designing Learning Environment and Experiences
Standard 3: Teaching, Learning and Curriculum
Standard 4: Assessment and Evaluation
Standard 5: Productivity and Professional Practice
Standard 6: Social, Ethical, Legal and Humans Issues

From how technology teachers facilitate learners, outcomes of student learning

should indicate that the following standards have been complied with.

Standard 1: Creativity and Innovation

Standard 2: Communication and Collaboration
Standard 3: Research and Information Fluency
Standard 4: Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving and Decision Making
Standard 5: Digital Citizenship
Standard 6: Technology Operations and Concepts

 Lesson 3: Roles of Technology for Teaching and Learning

According to Stosic (2015), educational technology has three domains:

1. Technology as a tutor.
2. Technology as a teaching.
3. Technology as a learning tool.

• (A) For Teachers and Teaching

Here are some examples of the myriad of the roles that technology can do for teachers
and teaching.

1. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the facilitator of

learning.
2. Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment.
3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching.
4. Technology opens new fields in educational researchers.
5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates scientific
outlook.
6. Technology supports teacher professional development.

• (B) For Learners and Learning

1. Support learners to learn to how to learn on their own.

a. Declarative knowledge
b. Structural knowledge
c. Procedural knowledge
2. Technology enhances learners’ communication skills through social interaction.
There are three basic communication patterns:
a. Point to point two-way or one-to-one like Internet chat, phone
conversation or even face-to-face conversation.
b. One-to-many outbound like a lecturer, or television. There is no social
interaction.
c. Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session, heads together.
3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-thinking skills: critical thinking,
problem solving and creativity.

• Critical Thinking is a part of the cluster of higher order thinking skills.

Here are some ways that teachers can do to develop critical thinking:
a. Ask a questions.
• Clarity
• Accuracy
• Precision
• Relevance
• Breadth
b. Use critical thinking tasks with appropriate level of challenge.
• Vary the questions asked.
• Introduced new technology.
• Creativity is characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly, fluently
originally and elaborately.

Seven Creative Strategies (Osborn,1963)

1. Substitute – Find something else to replace to do what it does.

2. Combine – Blend two things that do not usually go together.
3. Adapt – Look for other ways this can be used.
4. Modify/Magnify/Minify – Make a change enlarge, decrease.
5. Put to another use – Find other uses.
6. Eliminate – Reduce, remove.
7. Reverse – Turn upside-down, inside out, front-side back.

All together, strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER
