education.
Unpacked the basic concepts of ICT to provide common understanding for teachers and learners
Valued the used of ICT in the teaching and learning processes

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 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.

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 st century in your future
classroom.

These domains and corresponding competencies area 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 st 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

support of professional learning
Domain 7: Teachers Disposition
7.1 Demonstrate social, and legal responsibility in the use of technology tools and
resources

Likewise, the Department of Education issued Department of Education Order 42, s. 2017
mandating the use of the Philippine Professional Standard for Teacher (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 st 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?

With your group, search from the CHED website any of the following: CMO 74, or CMO 75.

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 in the development of the Philippine ICT Competency standards which
include the following;

Standard 1:Technology Operations and Concepts

This mean 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
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 in learning,
communication, and life skills.

ISTE National Educational Technology Standards For Students (NETS* S)

From how technology facilitate learners, outcomes of students learning should indicate that
the following standards have been compiled 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 used information
and plan strategies for inquiry. This standard expects the student to locate, organize,
analyze, evaluate, synthesize and ethically used information from a variety of sources
and media.

Standard 4: Critical Thinking Skills, Problem-Solving and Decision Making

This standard expects the students to use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct
research, manage projects, solve problem and make informed decisions using
appropriate digital tools.

Standard 5: Digital Citizenship

It is required by this standard that every technology student becomes in digital citizen
who demonstrates ethical and legal behavior, exemplified by the practice of safe, legal
and responsible use of information. Further, the student 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.
