This document summarizes instruments that support the integration of ICT in education, as developed through collaboration between Faculties of Education in the Netherlands. It describes the Dutch ICT standards for teachers, which were collaboratively developed to describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed as well as define performance criteria. It also discusses models like the 4 in Balance Model, TPACK framework, and examples of how these standards and models have been applied in teacher education programs in the Netherlands.

10. Inspired by TPACK
1. TPACK means: Technological, Pedagogical
And Content Knowledge
2. It is a model to help integrate the use of
technology in teaching and learning
3. It is not prescriptive but aims to explain the
relationship between content, pedagogy and
technology
10

11. The TPACK model,

www.tpack.org
Koehler & Mishra (2006)
11

12. Technological Pedagogical Knowledge:
Knowing how ICT affects subject teaching
methodologies
Technological Content Knowledge:
Realising how ICT influences how subject
matter can be acquired.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge:
Know-how about subject specific pedagogy & methodologies

13. The premises of TPACK
• Teachers do have content knowledge, they
teach about it
• Teachers do have pedagogical knowledge and
experience, they use it while teaching
• Teachers should have ICT knowledge, so they
can use it when teaching
• These three ‘knowledges’
should be available to them
as integrated set

of Education, Hogeschool Utrecht (NL)

16. Why the Web?
According to Bernie Dodge:
“There are at least two reasons that the World Wide Web is an exciting
development for educators:
•
Using the Web breaks down the walls that separate schools from
everything else.
•
Using the Web forces active learning.”
16

17. Active learning
In Dodge´s own words active learning
involves:
«putting our students in situations
which compel them to read, speak,
listen, think deeply, and write.
Active learning puts the responsibility
of organizing what is to be learned in
the hands of the learners themselves,
and ideally lends itself to a more
diverse range of learning styles.»

20. WebQuests in Language Ed.?
• The WQ-model can well accommodate current SLAviews and MFL methodology
- learner-centredness, active learning, focus on learning strategies
• It can help MFL teachers to:
- relate learning to the real world
- enhance & (partly) replace textbook-based learning
- support transdiscipline curriculum activities
20

21. Why a Project specifically for MFL?
Koenraad & Westhoff, 2003
21

22. Project Rationale
• 1. Support for what is a triple innovation for most inservice teachers:
– Change in language pedagogy
– extending skills: ICT and assessment & design of materials
– acquiring new or other classroom and task management skills
• 2. And … related competences development is not
widely available in initial Teacher Ed.
(Westhoff, 2005; Van den Branden, 2006; Koenraad, 2006)
