The ICT Profile for College Students is a
framework that teachers and colleges can rely
on to help their students develop the
informational, methodological, and technological
skills required.
What is the ICT Profile?
ICT = Information and Communication Technologies
Rare is the college curriculum that does not
involve searching for, processing and presenting
information.
The ICT Profile sets out an approach that allows
these skills to be acquired within a single course
or an entire program.
What is the ICT Profile?
The Dawson Graduate Profile is based upon the outcomes
that were identified in the report College Learning for the
New Global Century issued by the Association of American
Colleges and Universities in 2007.
The report recognized that today’s students will need broad
knowledge, strong intellectual skills and a grounded sense of
ethical and civic responsibility to be able to meet the myriad
challenges of the 21st century with respect to environmental,
global, intercultural, technological and scientific changes.
Dawson Graduate Profile
https://www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/strategic-plan/the-dawson-graduate-profile/
The Graduate Profile builds on and expands program
competencies and can be viewed as cross-curricular in
that all students, regardless of the program in which they
are enrolled, should develop these outcomes. These
outcomes are integrated and supported extensively
throughout the curriculum and outside of the curriculum
through a deliberate and systematic approach.
Dawson Graduate Profile
https://www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/strategic-plan/the-dawson-graduate-profile/
It consists of five skills. Each skill has
defined objectives that involve tasks to be
accomplished. It therefore presents a three-level
structure of elements.
Universal, it can be adapted to all programs and
to all colleges.
ICT Profile Characteristics
Relevance for Students
Prepares students for the labour market, university
and for a digital society
Information and technological skills required for:
All technical or career programs: biological,
physical, social, business, arts areas
All pre-university programs: Social Sciences,
Sciences, Arts, Literature and Communications, etc.
ICT Profile Characteristics
ICT Profile Characteristics
An ICT Profile for students:
All programs that put forward a cognitive and
methodological approach (knowledge, skills, soft
skills)
Options within the programs using software
applications in order to master a skill
More flexible and simplified structure
Long-term, independent of technological change
lt targets all students, including those with
disabilities.
Its logic is similar to “Universal Design for
Learning” (UDL), which aims to develop
pedagogical skills for all learners.
It offers the help needed to acquire technological
skills to support the mastering of high-level skills,
whether informational, methodological or
cognitive.
ICT Profile Characteristics
It gives teachers in programs flexibility when it
comes to choosing software applications and the
right digital environment to use for mastering a
skill.
Because it is independent from technological
changes, its relevancy will last longer.

Skill 5: Use ICTs in an Efficient
and Responsible Manner
This skill offers students a toolbox that will allow them to:
•use technology efficiently during their college studies by mastering their work
environment and by developing autonomy.
•adopt good habits when it comes to using ICT.
•develop a set of behaviours that encourage them to be aware and responsible citizens.

To fully integrate the ICT profile in a curriculum, it is
essential to have the willingness of a college’s director
and its teachers.
As well, IT-REP/RepTIC Network studies show that the
ICT pedagogical advisor plays an important role in
effectively guiding the work.

Teachers:
The teacher works in conjunction with the ICT
pedagogical advisor and the ICT subcommittee in the
targeted program, developing a plan for integrating the
ICT profile in the curriculum.
He is involved in producing the integration plan and,
together with the ICT pedagogical advisor, submitting it
to various groups and boards for review or approval.

ICT subcommittee:
A subcommittee may be formed by the home
department of the teacher who is granted release time.
The department selects the members; it is
recommended that members be selected according to
the disciplines in a program of study. The committee
assists the teacher given release time as well as the
ICT pedagogical advisor.
It participates in and guides the development of a plan
for integrating the ICT profile.

Editor's Notes

  • #25 Prenons par exemple l’habileté 2 « Traiter l’information > Structurer l’information > Choisir le type de représentation et l’outil appropriés ». La démarche cognitive est analogue selon que l’on étudie en Arts plastiques, en Sciences de la nature ou en Techniques de travail social. Toutefois, comme la nature de l’information à analyser est souvent différente d’un programme à l’autre, le choix d’applications logicielles à utiliser pourra varier d’un programme d’études à l’autre.
  • #26 Même chose pour l’habileté 3 Traiter l’information. La démarche proposée s’applique à tous les logiciels possibles et impossibles
