Teacher professionalization through ICT Design Teams: Lessons learned

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

In order for teacher trainers to effectively integrate ICT in their teaching practice and serve as a model to their pre-service teachers; teacher trainers should consist of technological, pedagogical and content knowledge. One way to achieve this is by setting up design teams. In this contribution four approaches to ICT design teams are presented. The functioning of the design teams is assessed by making use of recently developed frameworks. The team coaches are vital for the functioning of their team, yet all teams succeed (at least to some extent) in designing learning materials and strengthening the ICT-competencies of the team members. Other success factors are the networked nature of the design teams and personal interest of the team members; whereas time and duration of the project were the limiting factors. The project ran over two academic years; limiting the activities of the design team to one school year might have led to less drop-out and more involvement.
