TEACHERS’ DIGITAL COMPETENCE IN UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL: (WORK IN PROGRESS) Rune Krumsvik and Lise Jones The SMILE study
presents the results from one of the largest ICT studies in
secondary school in Norway, of 17,529 students and 2, 524 teachers.
In addition, school owners, school leaders, student council and the
Norwegian Student Organization are represented. The study focuses on
how school owners and school leaders exercise leadership and how
teachers teach and students learn in technology-dense classrooms in
the seven counties in the Eastern Norway County Network. It also
focuses on how the national curriculum (LK06) has changed some of
the underlying premises of school leadership, teaching and learning
in secondary schools. This has been important to explore; as a
result of a very good technology density in Norwegian classrooms
(1:1), students’ digital lifestyle, and the national curriculum’s
focus on digital tools as the fifth basic skill in all subjects,
from first to third grade (6-19 year). The main objective of the
study was therefore to investigate the implementation of ICT,
teachers’ educational use of ICT and student learning outcomes when
ICT is used, and to develop primary and secondary indicators for
learning when ICT is used. The study is based on a mixed method
design, and this paper has a special focus on teachers’ digital
competence and the coherence between a theoretical model and
empirical testing of this model. The results show that there is
coherence between the theoretical model and the empirical findings.
However, further research is needed to validate these preliminary
findings. |
