pedagogigal use of ICT• Koehler & Mishra (2006): The TPCK framework

Standards for teachers (Thomas & Knezek)
Teachers should be competent with respect to: • Technology operations and concepts• Planning and designing ICT-rich learning environments
and experiences• Integrate ICT in Teaching, Learning and the curriculum• Integrate ICT in Assessment and evaluation• Use ICT for own Productivity and professional practice• Be aware of Social, ethical, legal and human issues
International Society for Technology in Education

9 Benchmarks for Teacher Education (Kirschner et al.)
•What• Personal ICT competencies • ICT as a mind tool • Social aspects of ICT-use in education• Adopting ICT in Teaching
•How• Combining institutional learning and workplace learning • Communities of Practice • Embedding learning in a (personalized) ICT-rich learning
environment• Start with structured experiences• Integration in other content domains

Will, Skill Tool model (Knezek & Christensen)
• Enhancing an educator’s will, skill, and access to technology tools will in turn lead to higher stages of classroom technology integration.
Achievement
Up to 90% explained variance
appr. 10% explained variance

Will, Skill or Tool. Which is most important?
• Answer: • It depends on the Stage of Adoption of the Teachers
• For USA:• Skill is the strongest predictor (Explains 50% of Variance
in Integration) (vs. 10% for Mexico)• For Mexico:
• Tool is the strongest predictor (Explains 80% of Variance in Integration (vs. 30% for Texas)

How to move to the next Stage of Adoption?
Lower Stage populations need Skills/ Tools to move from:• Awareness (stage 1) to• Understanding the process Stage 2) and• Applying the process (Stage 3)
Higher Stage Populations need more Will (not more Skill):e.g. Stage 6 vs. Stage 5 Teachers:
• Creatively adapt technology to new contexts• Have little greater skill than Stage 5 peers• Have much stronger will than Stage 5 peers• Appear to have the traits of Teacher Leaders (Riel & Becker,
2008) and to possess Personal Entrepreneurship (Drent, 2005)

Characteristics of teacher leaders (Riel & Becker)
• Levels of professional engagement:• Learning from practice: favouring innovation and
divergent thinking• Local collaboration: moving from private teaching to
shared professional commitments in the workplace• Professional networking: Access to important
sources/ideas through teacher networks• Participation in knowledge building

ICT: Teacher leaders - Private practice teachers
• Teacher leaders use computers more frequently for instruction
• Teacher leaders use computers more for professional purposes
• Teacher leaders use more sophisticated software applications
• Electronic mail, multimedia authoring software and presentation software
Universiteit Twente — Vakgroep Curriculumontwerp & Onderwijsinnovatie
Challenges to cope with (Voogt)
• Difficult to prove evidence of learning with ICT on student learning outcomes
• Focus on other goals• Implementation conditions are not optimal
• Lack of coherent actions in curriculum implementation• No balance in the curricular spiderweb
• Curriculum challenges in the 21st century• Contradictory messages from policy makers: Life long
learning competencies vs emphasis on basic skills

How to measure technology integration?Stages of Adoption
• Six Stages
1. Awareness
2. Learning the Process
3. Understanding and application of the process
4. Familiarity and confidence
5. Adaptation to other contexts
6. Creative applications to new contexts
