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.

Lesson 1: ICT Competency Standards for Philippine PreService Teacher Education

What are competency standards? What are the ICT standards for teaching and learning
in 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 (CHEDUNESCO, 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
the 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. Demonstrate awareness of policies affecting ICT in education
2. Comply with ICT policies as they affect teaching-learning
3. Contextualize ICT policies to the learning environment
Domain 2: Curriculum and Assessment
1. Demonstrate understanding of concepts, principles and theories of ICT system as they
apply to teaching-learning.
EDUC 106-A : Technology For Teaching And Learning I

2. Evaluate digital and non-digital learning resources in response to student’s diverse

needs.
3. Develop digital learning resources to enhance teaching-learning
4. Use ICT Tools to develop 21st century skills: information media and technology skills,
learning and innovation skills, career skills and effective communication skills.
Domain 3: Pedagogy
1. Apply relevant technology tools for classroom activities
2. Use ICT knowledge to solve complex problems and support student collaborative
activities
3. Model collaborative knowledge construction in face to face and virtual environments
Domain 4: Technology Tools
1. Demonstrate competence in the technical operations of technology tools and system as
they apply to teaching and learning.
2. Use technology tools to create new learning opportunities to support community of
learners.
3. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of technology tools to support teaching and
learning.
Domain 5: Organization and Administration
1. Manage technology-assisted instruction in an inclusive classroom environment.
2. Exhibit leadership in shared decision-making using technology tools
Domain 6: Teacher Professional Learning
1. Explore existing and emerging technology to acquire additional content and
pedagogical knowledge.
2. Utilize technology tools in creating communities of practice.
3. Collaborative with peers, colleagues and stakeholders to access information in
support of professional learning.
Domain 7: Teacher Disposition
1. Demonstrate social, ethical, and legal responsibility in the use of technology tools and
resources.
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.

ISTE National Educational Technology Standard 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:
EDUC 106-A : Technology For Teaching And Learning I

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 to 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 guide by teachers to plan technology-based activities in which students achieve success
in learning, communicate 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: Communicate 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 form 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 source and media.
EDUC 106-A : Technology For Teaching And Learning I

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 demonstrate ethical and legal behavior, exemplified by
the practice of safe, legal and responsible use of information. Further, the
student exhibits positive towards the support of technology for
collaboration, learning and productivity as a digital citizen.
Standard 6: Technology Operations and Concepts
Sounds understanding of technology concepts, system 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.
