Professional digital competence and experiences with ICT in teacher education :

This report describes how newly qualified teachers view their professional digital competence and teacher education programmes regarding the use of information and communication technology (ICT). This is important in order to promote greater awareness of how newly qualified teachers view whether they are ready to use ICT in their teaching profession and what can be done to improve teacher education programmes, if appropriate. The report is based on quantitative data collected by the Norwegian Centre for ICT in Education with the assistance of TNS Gallup during the winter of 2013/2014. We want to promote a holistic approach to the use of ICT in teacher education in order to ensure that the teachers of the future have a common starting point regarding the use of ICT in their work. It is also important that our student teachers have the relevant skills for equipping future learners for a school education and working life that is set to become increasingly digitalised. Based on the findings of the study, the report concludes with a discussion of how teacher education programmes can better integrate digital competence and pedagogical use in both teaching and practice. We believe that this is important because it will help schools to provide adequate training in digital competence as one of the basic skills.
