Description
The broad integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in students’ and teachers’ lives requires education professionals to think of new ways to provide teaching and learning opportunities. Public and institutional policies, non-governmental organizations and technological innovation companies demonstrate a clear intention to incorporate ICT in schools. This situation leads to new demands on teachers who need to reflect on how to offer teaching and learning provisions with ICT to maximise student-learning gains. This paper focuses on the implications of the new educational landscape to the training and support of Chilean pre-service and in-service teachers. Our work discusses the research literature that deals with the rise of “new” ICT pedagogies, the relationship between them and the notion of active student participation. We suggest that it is important to prepare teachers earlier in their teacher-training programme and during their professional development in the pedagogical use of technology. In particular, pre-service and in-service teachers should be provided with learning opportunities that help them to understand and practice the skills of pedagogic planning and the evaluation of the educative possibilities of ICT.| Period | 26 Oct 2018 |
