Summary of Teachers' Self-reported Pedagogical Skills in Integrating ICT

The following four graphs summarize the range of teachers at each of the four levels of ICT pedagogical skill: Beginning, Developing, Accomplished, and Exemplary. These graphs lead us to the following conclusions:

  1. More than 20% of teachers report being at the Beginning level for
    • researching and evaluating the use of ICT (29%)
    • using adaptive technoloiges (28%)
    • teaching information literacy skills using resource-based learning (20%)
  1. More than 60% of teachers report being at the Developing level for
    • individualizing instruction (72%)
    • teaching information literacy skills using primary sources (64%)
    • researching and evaluating the use of ICT in education (64%)
    • teaching information literacy skills using resource-based learning (60%)
  1. More than 30% of teachers report being at the Accomplished level in
    • using educational software (43%)
    • using adaptive technologies (38%)
    • modifying instructional approach (36%)
    • using ICT to improve student writing (33%)
  1. Few teachers rate themselves as Exemplary practitioners of ICT integration with curriculum and in their classrooms.
  1. Overall, ratings of Accomplished and Exemplary levels of pedagogical skill in integrating ICT are low. Most teachers are at least aware of the various methods for integrating ICT in their classrooms, however at the same time, they have not progressed to a feeling of accomplishment.
  1. In general, although teachers have developed their own use of ICT (Appendix A) they are only in the process of developing their pedagogical skills in integrating ICT in their classrooms (Appendix B).
