College of Education Center of Development for Teacher Education Secondary Education Department Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education ICT Competency Standards (CHED-UNESCO) as provided in the 2017, Policy, Standards and Guidelines (PSG) for 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." 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: Table 1: ICT Competency Standards for Pre-service Teachers Domain 1: Understanding ICT in Education 1.1 Demonstrate awareness of policies affecting ICT in education 1.2 Comply with ICT policies as they affect teaching-learning 1.3 Contextualize ICT policies to the learning environment Domain 2: Curriculum and Assessment 2.1 Demonstrate understanding of concepts, principles and theories of ICT systems as they apply to teaching-learning 2.2 Evaluate digital and non-digital learning resources in response to student's diverse needs 2.3 Develop digital learning resources to enhance teaching-learning 2.4 Use ICT tools to develop 21s century skills: information media and technology skills, learning and innovation skills, career skills and effective communication skills Domain 3: Pedagogy 3.1 Apply relevant technology tools for classroom activities 3.2 Use ICT knowledge to solve complex problems and support student collaborative activities  3.3 Model collaborative knowledge construction in face to face and virtual environments Domain 4: Technology Tools 4.1 Demonstrate competence in the technical operations of technology tools and systems as they apply to teaching and learning 4.2 Use technology tools to create new learning opportunities to support community of learners 4.3 Demonstrate proficiency in the use of technology tools to support teaching and learning ED 108 – Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 Page 1 of 4 College of Education Center of Development for Teacher Education Secondary Education Department Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education Domain 5: Organization and Administration 5.1 Manage technology-assisted instruction in an inclusive classroom environment 5.2 Exhibit leadership in shared decision-making using technology tools Domain 6: Teacher Professional Learning 6.1 Explore existing and emerging technology to acquire additional content and pedagogical knowledge 6.2 Utilize technology tools in creating communities of practice 6.3 Collaborate with peers, colleagues and stakeholders to access information in support of professional learning Domain 7: Teacher Disposition 7.1 Demonstrate social, ethical, and legal responsibility in the use of technology tools and resources 7.2 Show positive attitude towards the use of technology tools Likewise, the Department of Education issued Department of Education Order 42, s. 2017 mandating the use of the Philippine Professional Standard for Teachers (PPST) to start with the Beginning Teachers who are the fresh graduates from the teacher education program. The document includes: Show skills in the positive use of ICT to facilitate teaching and learning and Show skills in the selection, development and use of the variety of teaching learning resources including ICT to address learning goals. These competency standards to learn and master will assure the 21st century learners in your class of a more enjoyable, creative, innovative ways in teaching and learning. ISTE National Educational Technology Standards For Teachers (NETS* T) An international organization for educational technology called International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), 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 This means that teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and concepts. Standard 2: Planning and Designing Learning Environment and Experiences This standard implies that teachers utilize the use of technology to plan and design effective learning environments and experiences.

Standard 4: Assessment and Evaluation Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning. Standard 5: Productivity and Professional Practice Teachers use technology to engage in on-going professional development and lifelong learning in support of student learning, increase productivity and to build community of learners. Standard 6: Social, Ethical, Legal and Human Issues Teachers understand the social, ethical, legal and human issues surrounding the use of technology  in support of student learning who come from divers! background, affirm diversity, promote safe and healthy use of technology resources and facilitate access to technology resources for all students. Likewise, ISTE also developed standards needed for students. These standards will be used as a guide by teachers to plan technology-based activities in which students achieve success in learning, communication and life skills. ISTE National Educational Technology Standards For Students (NETS* S) 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 This standard will produce students who demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, develop innovative products and processes using technology from existing knowledge. Standard 2: Communication and Collaboration This standard requires students to use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. This includes the use of variety of media and formats for global awareness with learners from other cultures. ED 108 – Technology for Teaching and Learning 1 Page 3 of 4 College of Education Center of Development for Teacher Education Secondary Education Department Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-Service Teacher Education Standard 3: Research and Information Fluency Students are expected to apply digital tools to gather, evaluate and use information and plan strategies for inquiry. This standard expects the student to locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media. Standard 4: Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving and Decision Making This standard expects the students to use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools. Standard 5: Digital Citizenship It is required by this standard that every technology student becomes a digital citizen who demonstrates ethical and legal behavior, exemplified by the practice of safe, legal and responsible use of information. Further, the student exhibits positive attitude towards the support of  technology for collaboration, learning and productivity as a digital citizen. Standard 6: Technology Operations and Concepts Sound understanding of technology concepts, systems and operation is a standard that students should comply with. They too, are expected to further transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies. 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.
