Integration across the Programme for Education Components
New ITCE Framework for Pre-QTS Programmes
Education Components cover…
“pedagogical integration” – 4 performance indicators:
understand learner-centred learning environments enabled by ICT
in pedagogical practices & innovations
design appropriate learning experiences that facilitate pedagogical
practices using ICT
apply ICT in learning & teaching to facilitate development of IL
and generic skills in students
apply ICT with multiple assessment methods in assessing student
learning
New ITCE Framework for Pre-QTS Programmes (cont’d)
Education Components cover…
“managing and leading ICT” – 5 performance indicators:
participate in making decision on hardware, software, and
administrative systems of a school
participate as a team member to build school ICT capacity and
promote systemic change in learning and teaching
engage in strategic planning in ICT implementation
evaluate and reflect on professional development regarding the
pedagogical use of ICT
understand the policies on ICT in education at school and system
levels
Preparing for the New ITCE Framework for Pre-QTS Teachers
Integration of Education Components requires:
Individual Programmes to include Education Components in a
discipline-based way that best suit their programmes
Individual Departments to allow flexibility for individual
programmes to carry out the course infusion
The Faculties and Institute to
oversee the course integration & effectiveness of the Education
Components
provide a digital-rich environment for learning & teaching
align the policy, procedures & practices relating to the graduation
requirements for ITCE for all teacher education programmes
Preparing for the New ITCE Framework for Pre-QTS Teachers
Next step – „stock check‟ exercise by Faculties/Departments
for each programme:
A sample checklist will be provided for the three Faculties to work
with departments/programmes
Check the current situation of integration of IT components in a
programme
Attend to new areas of integration as needed in a programme
Identify areas/components which require centralised institutional
support
Sample of Checklist
Sample of Checklist (Cont’d)
Possible information to fill in the check boxes
Give wherever appropriate
Provide the year of implementation and what kind of activity you have applied to the course your taught, for examples:
