Technology: An Introduction
Introduction:
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 technical digital
technology has been a factor that shrunk the world 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 21st century.
Lesson Outcomes:
1. Identified the competency standards of ICT necessary in teaching for pre-service
teacher education; and
2. Familiarized with the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for
Teachers.
Activity
What are 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 picture B?
Picture A Picture B
Teacher with Traditional Technology Teacher with Digital Technology
Who is better equipped to handle the 21st century learners? Teacher A or
Teacher B? Why? Which of the two teachers would you like to become when you
graduate? Why?
Give reasons for choosing Picture A:
Analysis
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
21st century in your future classroom.
These domains and corresponding competencies are found in the Table below:
Search from the CHED website any of the following: CMO74, or CMO 75.
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 teachers in the future, you should harness the same
knowledge and skills to become (Learning to Become) future teachers.
