Structure

• Problems…• Finding answers

Problems?

1. Why should we think about ICT-competencies of teacher trainers?

Why?

Teachers in spe don’t know how to use ICT in a

didactical way….

They don’t see enough teacher trainers doing it!

What do we expect regarding ict and digital literacy skills?

Student

Teacher

Teacher trainer

Finding answers

what is happening in 15 teacher training institutes? What do we want? Curriculum analyse – Interviews – measuring ICT skills

Example: do you train your teacher students how to make good digital exercises (technical, didactical) ?

Results curriculum

• Mostly focus on buttons & There is no attention on the didactical approach of new ICT

• No clear teamview what is expected and given by colleagues teacher trainers…

Other results

• Teacher trainer is mostly not a role model- Infrastructure- Large groups- Distance learning- Lack of time and vision

Towards a solution

• 15 ict experts of ENW AUGent• Other expertise networks in Flanders

2. Guideline for ICT –policy and strategy

Follow up

1. Design teams start now 2 years2. Measuring ICT competencies of Alumni

teachers using ICT competence profiles

Document 1: Guideline for ICT-policy & strategies at a Teacher Educator Institute

Examples of suggestions• Do you have an zone for experiments (with new technologies)• What should practice schools need? • What if teachers can’t install test software due ICT policy…?• Can teacher students use licenses at home?• Use scenario’s for innovate didactical & technical environments

Competence mapping

Be awareWe have not to teach everything, but should get students interested and engaged to use ICT in the best way.

-- Technical elements (not a problem)-- Didactical & pedagogical use

Basic competencies should be certified, but also their competence to discover and integrate new technologies in a didactical setting

Strategies to get teacher students & teacher trainers engaged in didactical use

of ICT
