CHAPTER I:

INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

Overview
This chapter presents the different competency standards of ICT for teaching
and learning in pre-service education. It basically tackles various concepts about ICT
and the different roles of ICT in the teaching-learning process.

Lesson I:
ICT Competency Standards for Philippine Pre-service Teacher Education
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students can:
 Identify the competency standards of ICT necessary in teaching for
pre-service teacher education; and
 Familiarized with the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards
for Teachers

Lesson Outline
The preparation of young people to successfully face the challenges of the
modern society has become an increasingly important objective of educational
systems all over the world.
Thus, the CHED together with UNESCO furnishes the Policy, Standard and
Guidelines for Pre-service Teacher Education wherein every future teacher must
demonstrate proficiency in the development and utilization of ICT resources in
promoting quality teaching-learning process.
To ensure that the program outcomes related to ICT shall be achieved,
competencies were identified to develop by every pre-service teacher. The ICT
Competency Standards is made up of seven (7) domains.
Domain 1: Understanding ICT in Education
Domain 2: Curriculum and Assessment
Domain 3: Pedagogy
Domain 4: Technology Tools
Domain 5: Organization and Administration
Domain 6: Teacher Professional Learning
Domain 7: Teacher Disposition
 ISTE National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T)
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), established standards
for both teachers and students. These standards referred in the development of the
Philippine ICT Competency Standards.

Standard 1: Technology Operations and Concepts

Standard 2: Planning and Designing Learning Environment and Experiences
Standard 3: Teaching, Learning and Curriculum
Standard 4: Assessment and Evaluation
Standard 5: Productivity and Professional Practice
Standard 6: Social, Ethical, Legal and Human Issues

Outcomes of student learning should indicate the following standards:

Standard 1: Creativity and Innovation
Standard 2: Communication and Collaboration
Standard 3: Research and Information Fluency
Standard 4: Critical Thinking, Problem-solving and Decision-making
Standard 5: Digital Citizenship
Standard 6: Technology Operations and Concepts

SUMMARY
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a vital role in
teaching and learning process for the use of ICT in education provides useful
pedagogical, social and economic benefits. On the other hand, these competency
standards are increasingly being used by various professions and government to
define the qualifications required for professionals to practice in a professional or
discipline. As discussed, they are listed at different levels according to the
capabilities of the individuals, for competency is defined by a set of standards, which
define the level of attainment at various levels.
The overall goal of this ICT Competency Standards is to improve teachers’
practice. It aims to connect education reform to economic growth and social
development that can improve the quality of life, reduce poverty and inequity,
advance the standards of living, and prepare a country’s citizens for the challenges
of the 21st century.
 Lesson II:

understanding

Lesson Outline
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an extensional term
for Information Technology (IT), that stresses the role of unified communication
and the integration of telecommunications and computers as well as necessary
enterprise software, middleware, storage and audiovisual systems that enable users
to access, store and manipulate information.

Terms and Concepts:

1. Technology

 Lesson III:
Roles of Technology for Teaching and Learning

OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students can:
 Identify the roles of technology in teaching and learning; and
 Appreciate the value of the technology in supporting student learning

Lesson Outline
With the 4th Industrial Revolution, nobody can deny the influence of
technology in our lives. As future teachers of the 21 st century, it is high time that you
prepare yourselves to integrate technology in your classrooms. Using technology is a
tool and a catalyst for change.

According to Stosic (2015), Educational Technology has three (3) Domains:

1. Technology as a Tutor
2. Technology as a Teaching Tool
3. Technology as a Learning Tool

Roles that Technology can do for Teachers and Teaching:

1. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the facilitator of
learning
2. Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment
3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching
4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches
5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates scientific
outlook
6. Technology supports teacher professional development

Roles that Technology can do for Learners and Learning:

1. Technology support learners to learn how to learn on their own
2. Technology enhances learner’s communication skills through social
interactions
3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order thinking skills: critical thinking,
problem-solving and creativity

SUMMARY
 There are countless reasons why technology is a key aspect of learning in the
schools. Technology plays many roles such as: as a tutor, as a teaching tool, and as
a learning tool. It has numerous roles on the part of the teachers as well as to
support the learners learning process. It only means that education already
embraced the totality of technology for it is used and relevant to both teaching and
learning. The incorporation of technology into schools’ changes how teachers and
students gather, access, analyze, present and transmit information.
