Study Notes

UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers

This framework, Version 3, guides pre- and in-service teacher training on using ICT in education.
It's designed to be adapted to various national and institutional goals.
Key audiences include teacher trainers, educational experts, policymakers, and professional development providers.

Global Education Priorities

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs) emphasizes building inclusive Knowledge Societies.
Goal 4 (Education), Goal 5 (Gender Equality), Goal 9 (Infrastructure), Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities), Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) are key targets, all influenced by ICT.

Cross-Cutting Principles

Knowledge Societies: Emphasis on diverse knowledge forms and the ability to transform information into knowledge.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Creating flexible curricula and learning experiences accommodates various needs.
Inclusive Education: Non-discrimination, accessible information, and gender equality are essential for inclusion.

Potential and Challenges of ICT Innovations

Open Educational Resources (OER): Freely accessible materials like textbooks, videos, and multimedia for teaching and learning.
Social Networks: Provides opportunities for communication, learning, and building communities.
Mobile Technologies: Enable anytime, anywhere learning and increase access.
Internet of Things (IoT): Changes how students learn and teachers teach with varied future applications.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Offers opportunities for adaptive learning, monitoring, diagnostics, and tools.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Provides experiential learning.
Big Data: Analysis of data provides insights into learning processes.
Coding: Develops students' ability to create, organize, express, and share ideas in new mediums.

The Lifelong Process of Teacher Professional Development

Teacher development is a continuous lifelong learning process, from pre-service to in-service.
Pre-service training focuses on pedagogy, subject expertise, management skills, including digital tools.
In-service training builds on this foundation, addressing specific classroom needs and refining expertise.

ICT CFT Structure

The framework consists of 18 competencies organized into three levels: Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Deepening, and Knowledge Creation.
These levels reflect the typical adoption of technology by teachers. Level 1 primarily supports, Level 2 changes teachings styles and Level 3 drives transformative change.
There are six aspects/themes in each level, providing a comprehensive framework.
(Understanding ICT in Education policy, Curriculum and Assessment, Pedagogy, Application of Digital Skills, Organization and Administration, Teacher Professional Learning).

Implementation Examples and Resources

Numerous examples are given, detailing how the framework is used in creating teacher training, national policies, and curriculum design.
Open Educational Resources (OER) Commons is highlighted as a repository of resources aligned with the framework.
