LESSON 1 Teaching and Learning With Technology

Teaching and Learning with Technology: An Introduction
If there is one thing that changed the world so fast, there exists technology in the
past as non-digital technology, the current 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 21" century.
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 picture below. What does picture A show of the
teacher? What about picture B?

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 21" 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 21" 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
4.3 Demonstrate proficiency in the use of technology tools to support
teaching and learning
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 21 century
learners in your class of a more enjoyable, creative, innovative ways in teaching and
learning.
With the use of Table 1 above, can you identify the domain to which each given
course learning outcome belong?
Course Learning Outcomes Competency Domain

1. Explain ICT policies and safety issues as they
impact on the teaching-learning process
2. Integrate media and technology in various
content areas
3. Apply learning theories and principles in the
design and development of lessons through
appropriate media and technologies for teaching
learning
4. Formulate teaching-learning experiences and
assessment task using appropriate and
innovative technologies
5. Demonstrate social, ethical, and legal
responsibility in the use of technology tools and
resources

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 3: Teaching, Learning and Curriculum
Teachers should be mindful that in the implementation of curriculum plan, they

have to include strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning.
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 diverse
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.
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.
