Lesson Outline
Educational systems of various countries need to effect changes in the
preparation of their citizens for lifelong learning in a 21 st Century Knowledge-
based or information society. Preparation of young people to successfully
face the challenges of the modern society has become an increasingly
importance objective of educational systems all over the world.
Thus, the CHED together with UNESCO furnished the Policy,
Standards, and Guidelines (PSG) for Pre-service Teacher Education wherein
every future teacher must 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 developed by every pre-service teacher .
The ICT Competency Standards is made up of seven (7) domains.
Each domain has a set of competencies. The competencies are expressed in
desired learning outcomes. Becoming proficient in different competencies will
enable you to handle learners of 21st century in your future classroom.
Table below shows the different domains and its corresponding
competencies.

Likewise, the Deprtament of Education issued the DepEd Order 42, s.

2017 mandating the use of the Philippines Professional Standard for teachers
(PPST) to start with the Beginning Teachers who are 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 and learning
resources including ICT to address learning goals.
These competency standards to learn and master will assure the 21 st
century learners in your class of a more enjoyable, creative, innovative ways
in teaching and learning.

ISTE National Educational Technology Standards 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:

Standard 1: This means that teachers

Technology Operations and demonstrate a soud understanding of
Concepts technology operations and concepts.
Standard 2: This standard implies that teacher
Planning and Designing Learning utilizes the use of technology to plan
Environment and Experiences and design effective learning
environment and experiences.
Standard 3: Teacher should be mindful that in the
Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum implementation of curriculum plan,
they have to include strategies for
applying technology to maximize
student learning.
Standard 4: Teachers apply technology to

4
 facilitate a variety of effective
Assessment and Evaluation assessment and evaluation strategies
to collect and analyze data, interpret
results, & communicate findings to
improve instructional practice and
maximize student learning.
Standard 5: Teachers use technology to engage
Productivity and Professional Practice in the on-going professional
development and lifelong learning in
support of student learning, increase
productivity and to build community of
learners.
Standard 6: Teachers understand the social,
Social, Ethical, Legal and Human ethical, legal, and human issues
Issues surrounding the use of technology in
support of student learning who
comes from diverse background,
affirm diversity, promote safe and
healthy use of technology resources
and facilitate access to technology
resources for all students.

ISTE also developed standards needed for students. This standard will
be used as a guide by teachers to plan technology-based activities in which
students achieve success in learning, communication, 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: This standard will produce students

who demonstrate creative thinking,
5
 Creativity and Innovation construct knowledge, develop
innovative products and processes
using technology from existing
knowledge.
Standard 2: This standard requires students to
Communication and Collaboration use digital media and environments to
communicate and work collaboratively
to support individual learning and
contribute to the learning of others.
Standard 3: Students are expected to apply digital
Research and Information Fluency tools to gather, evaluate, and use
information and plan strategies for
inquiry.
Standard 4: This standard expects the students to
Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving use critical thinking skills to plan and
and Decision-Making conduct research, manage projects,
solve problems and make informed
decisions using appropriate digital
tools.
Standard 5: It is required by this standard that
Digital Citizenship every technology student becomes a
digital citizen who demonstrates
ethical and legal behavior,
exemplified by the practice of safe,
legal, and responsible use of
information.
Standard 6: Sound understanding of technology
Technology Operations and Concepts concepts, systems and operation is a
standard that students should comply
with.

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
6
the same knowledge and skills to become (Learning to Become) future
teachers.

Summary
Information and communication technology (ICT) plays a vital role in
teaching and learning process for the use of ICT in education provides useful
pedagogical, social, and economic benefits. On the other hand, this
competency standards are increasingly being used by professions and
governments to define the qualifications required for professionals to practice
in a profession or discipline. As discussed, they are listed at different levels
according to the capabilities of the individual, for competency is defined by a
set of standards, which define the level of attainment at various levels.
The overall goal of this ICT Competency Standard is to improve
teacher practice. It aims to connect education reform to economic growth and
social development that can improve the quality of teaching, reduce poverty
and inequity, advance the standards of living, and prepare a country’s citizens
for the challenges of the 21st century.

Lesson 3: Roles of Technology for Teaching and Learning

What to Expect?
At the end of the lesson, the students must:
1. Identify roles of technology in leaching and learning; and
2. Appreciate the value the of technology in supporting student
learning.

Pre-discussion:
Are students of today interested to use technology in order to learn?
Do teachers have the skills to use technology to enhance their teaching? With
the 4th Industrial Revolution, nobody can deny the influence of technology in
our lives. As future teachers of the 21 st century, it is high time that you
prepare yourselves to integrate technology in your classrooms. Using
technology is a tool and a catalyst for change. What then are the roles of
technology for teaching and learning?

Lesson Outline:
As teaching and learning go together, the roles of technology for
teachers and teaching and for learners and learning. According to Stosic
(2015), educational technology has three domains:
1. Technology as a tutor - Together with the teacher, technology can
support the teacher to teach another person or technology when
programmed by the teacher can be a tutor on its own.
2. Technology as a Teaching Tool - Like a tutor, technology is a
teaching tool, but can never replace a teacher. It is like any other
tool, it is being used to facilitate and lighten the work of the teacher.
3. Technology as a learning tool - While the teacher utilizes
technology as the tool for teaching, likewise it is an effective tool for
learning. As a learning it makes learning easy and effective.

A. Teachers for Teaching

There are numerous roles that technology plays in the job of teachers.
As a tool, technology has opened wider avenues in management of resources

20
and management of learning. Likewise, it has moderninzed the teaching-
learning environment in schools. Here are some examples of myriad of roles
that technology can do for teachers and teaching.

1. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the

facilitator of learning - It transforms a passive classroom to an active and
interactive one, with audio-visual aids, charts and models, smart classrooms,
e-learning classrooms which motivate and increase attention level of learners.
2. Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment - the
teachers are assisted and supplemented with appropriately structured
instructional materials for daily activities. There are varied available
technology driven resources which can be utilized for remedial lesson or
activities.
3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching
- This will make the act of teaching more efficient and effective. There are
arrays of teaching methods and strategies that can use technology which are
found compatible with learning styles.
4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches - The areas of
teaching teasting and evaluation are enhanced by technologies for teaching
and learning. Current educational researches will no longer find difficulty in
interpreting tests, assessment and other evaluation results.
5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates
scientific outlook - Through the utilization of theories of learning and
intelligence which are explained in references uploaded in the net, the
teachers are encouraged to imbibe these information with speed and
accuracy.
6. Technology supports teacher professional development - With the
demand of continuing professional development for teachers, the availability
of technology provides alternative way of attending professional development
online.

B. For Learners and Learning

21
1. Support learners to learn how to learn on their own. All teachers fully
understand that subject matter or content is a means to achieve the learning
outcomes.
Three Categories of Knowledge
A. Declarative knowledge - consists of the discrete pieces of information that
answers the questions what, who, when, when, and where. It is often learned
through memorization of facts, drills, and practice. It can be learned by simple
mnemonics or conceptual maps and this is necessary for students to achieve
more complex higher order thinking such as critical thinking and creativity,
injury and production.
B. Structural knowledge - consists of facts or pieces of declarative knowledge
put together to attain some form of meaning.
C. Procedural knowledge - is knowledge in action or the knowledge of how to
do something. It is based on facts but learned through the process of
procedural knowledge.

Sources of knowledge:
 Printed books
 Modules
 Journals

2. Technology enhances learner’s communication skills through social

interactions. This is commonly described as the transmittal of information
from one person to another as single individual or groups of individual.
Basic communication patterns:
 Point to point two-way or one-to-one (e.g. internet, chat, phone
conversation or even face-to-face conversation.
 One-to-many outbound like a lecture, or television. There is no
social interaction.
 Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session, heads
together. This kind of interaction provides opportunities for social
interaction.

Social interaction

22
 occurs in two ways where the participants ask for clarification, argue,
challenge each other and work towards common understanding.
 Social interaction through communication occurs through technology
(directly between two persons via e-mail, a cellphone, or other devices).
 It can also occur around technology like students discussing about a
problem posed by a software program or with support of technology like
teachers and students interacting about the worksheet printed from a
website.

Benefits derived from technology-supported communication:

1. Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually and making learning
unlimited because communication and social interaction go beyond a school
day or school environment.
2. Enhances students’ freedom to express and exchange ideas freely without
the snooping eyes of the teacher face to face.
3. Enables learners to construct meaning from joint experiences between the
two or more participants in communication.
4. Help learners solve problems from multiple sources since there is limitless
sources of information that the teacher can direct or refer to the learners.
5. Teachers learned to communicated with politeness, taking turns in sending
information and giving appropriate feedback.
6. Enhances collaboration by using communication strategies with wider
community and individuals in a borderless learning environment.
7. Develops critical thinking, problem solving and creativity throughout the
communication.

3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-thinking skills: critical

thinking, problem solving and creativity.
- Twenty-first century learning requires the development of higher-
order-thinking skills.
- Technology has a great role to play in the development and
enhancement of these skills.

23
Critical thinking - is part of the cluster of higher order thinking skills. It refers
to the ability to interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self-regulate in
order to make good decisions. With the use of technology, one will be able to
evaluate teh credibility of the source, ask appropriate questions, become
open-minded, defend a position on an issue and draw conclusion with caution.
All of these competenciesare covered by Bloom’s Taxonomy of Analysis,
Synthesis and Evaluation.

Ways that teachers can do to develop critical thinking:

A. Ask the right questions
Most often teachers ask questions to find out if the students can simply
repeat the information from the lesson. Necessary questions like what, who,
when, and where does not develop critical thinking. Critical thinking questions
should ask for clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth and logic.

Examples: Clarity: Here are some examples…Can you give examples of…
Accuracy: What pieces of evidence support your claim?
Precision: Exactly how much…
Breadth: What do you think will the other group say about the
issue?

B. Use critical thinking tasks with appropriate level of challenge.

Teachers should be mindful of the readiness of the students. Students
who have higher ability may find the task to easy, thus getting bored early,
while those who have low ability may find the task too difficult. Thus, there is
a need to have activites approriate for the learners.

Simple ways that teachers can do:

 Vary questions asked.
 Introduce new technologies
 Modify the learners groupings
 Modify the critical thinking task
 Encourage curiosity

24
Creativity - is characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly, fluently,
originally, and elaborately.
Flexibly - able to use many points of view
Fluently - able to generate many ideas
Originally - implies being able to generate new ideas
Elaborately - able to add details

7 Creative Strategies
1. Substitute - find something else to replace to do what it does.
2. Combine - Blend two things that do not usually go together
3. Adapt - look for other ways this can be used
4. Modify/Magnify/Minify - make a change, enlarge, decrease
5. Put to another use - find other uses
6. Eliminate - reduce, remove
7. Reverse - turn upside down, inside out, front-side back.

SUMMARY

There are countless reasons why technology is a key aspect of learning in the
schools. Technology plays many role such as: as a tutor, as a teaching tool
and as a learning tool. It has numerous roles on the part of the teachers as
well as to support the learners learning process. It only means that education
already embraced the totality of technology for it is used and relevant to both
teaching and learning. The incorporation of technology into schools changes
how teachers and students gather, access, analyse and present and transmit
information.
