4. ICT & Education: Key Issues
• ICT Integration in education is complex
(Drent, 2005; Kay, 2006; Tondeur et al, 2012)
• Related teacher competence development not structurally
embedded in Teacher Ed. curriculum (OECD, 2010; Hovius &
Kessel, 2013; Admiraal et al., 2013)
• Many teacher educators are not adequately trained in pedagogical
ICT use (time issue).
• Student teacher preparation for pedagogical ICT use is inadequate.
• Yet, Ministries & Schools expect: Teacher Ed. leading in this domain
(also see PPT by Bottema, 2014)

5. Integration of ICT in Education.
What has been helpful?
• Definition of conducive factors at
organisation level:
The 4 in Balance Model:
Vision, Expertise, Materials, Infrastructure
+ Collaboration & Leadership
• Definition of relevant Teacher expertise:
The TPACK model (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) :
(national) ICT competence indicators for
teachers (NL, 2009)
(ICT op school, 2004)

11. Key elements of successful strategies
• Embedding (selected) ICT-standard realisation
across Faculty courses with Teacher Educators
as role models.
• Design principles in methods courses include:
* (student) teacher as designer & researcher
• * collaborative learning
• * task related exploration / use of relevant tools
Also see: Tondeur et al., 2012
