2nd Draft National ICT Competency Standard for Teachers (NICS Teacher)
August 30, 2006
Joint initiative of:
Human Capital Development Group -Commission on Information and Communications Technology
Department of Education
Private and Public Interest Groups
Intel
The Goals:
To define the infocommunications technology competencies, and the underlying performance indicators needed to support the job role performance of a teacher.
To come up with a National ICT Competency Standard for Teachers (NICS-Teachers) that consolidated the various references used by different interest groups, and align them to the DepEd drafted National Competency Based Teacher Standard (NCBTS).
To bring about the collective ownership of all the stakeholders by contributing to the formulation, advocacy, localization, and training implementation.
The Main Components
NICS Domain 1: Social
- NICS Domain 2: Technological
- NICS Domain 3: Pedagogical
- NICS Domain 4: Professional
Please help refine the competency elements assigned to each domain. Use the "comment" facility of the blog. Write the reference number of the element (e.g. 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1), and then your comment. If you need to add new element to the domain, write the domain number, and then the element statement.
Thanks.

Except for some minor typos, domains 1 and 2 look ok. For Domain 4, item 4.5, I suggest the revision: Join user groups and professional organizations or participate in ICT projects that promote the open innovation and use of technology in education. For Domain 3, I am attaching a separate file for my comments. Finally, instead of saying domain elements, shouldn't this read as competencies?
From Lloyd Espiritu
The NICS version 2 appears to be redundant still. The distribution is too unveven. 10 items for Social, 9 items for Technological (think there are more) 21 items for Pedagocial (a lot are very similar) and only 5 items for the Professional. I suggest that 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.18 and 3.20 be moved to the social domain. I also suggest that 3.13, 3.20 and similar items be considered at technological domain. Some are difficult since they too contain shades of the social domain. Maybe we should focus on the pedagogical domain on UTILIZATION / INTEGRATION of the technology including the planning design and evaluation. We may want to identify or focus on the GENERIC TASKS that teachers will use the technology beyond just learning about. For the Professional domain, I think that the issues relates to how the technology can be used to IMPROVE the teaching profession more than the INDIVIDUAL teacher. Will updating and sharing knowledge in the field be part of the indicators? Will setting up a portal or teacher resource site be considered professional growth. For the technological domain, finding, evaluating and selecting education software, sites and tools should be considered technological instead of pedogical areas. Also the use of educational and content management systems is a technological not pedagogical area. Let's aim to simplify and shorten the list. We can use the indicators to provide the details. Lloyd
