MEASURING THE IMPACT OF THE DIGITAL EDUCATION REVOLUTION ON THE ICT CAPABILITY OF THE NATIONAL TEACHING WORKFORCE
Jim Tangas Australia
The last fifteen years in education policy in
Australia have been marked at various points by statements of
intention to improve the integration of ICT in teaching and learning
practices. The last Labour Australian government through its Digital
Education Revolution in Australia from 2009 expended significant
funding. One of the key emphases of these policies was the
development of teacher capability in the use of ICT to improve
student learning. Reliable evidence on the achievement of this goal
is difficult to find. This paper draws on the Staff in Australia’s
Schools series of surveys over the period 2006-13 to assemble an
evidence base that provides some insight into the development of
teacher capability as a result of the Digital Education Revolution
initiatives. |
