COVID-19: Rethinking teachers digital competence Monash Lens Amid COVID-enforced online learning, talk of teachers' 'digital understanding' shouldnt be taken to refer only to their knowledge of the technological aspects. Educational Technology Research and Development, 65, 555575. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and EdSurge also launched awebsitethat features webinars and podcasts where experts answer questions about moving to e-learning, along with a help desk where educators can share digital tools and advice with each other. A Challenge: Systems Thinking About AI in Education As AI expands into the educational system, our listening session attendees reminded us that it will be entering parts or locations of the system that are presently dysfunctional. The intention to introduce online teaching competency and standards in this study is not to claim that teaching online during the pandemic was the same as traditional online education or online teaching and learning (Hodges et al., 2020).

The Norwegian Centre for Data Services https://www.nsd.no/en/data-protection-services were conferred with but as the online survey is without any personal data, the study was exempt from a formal registration process. TPD models that use tech-supported problem-based learning [86] and collaborative design teams [2], [82], [83] have proved effective in improving teachers technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and digital skills. Alignment to PEAT (DICTE, 2019) dimensions primarily evident in the pedagogical dimension (e.g., flipped learning) and the technical dimension as many teachers representing this theme also mentioned the tools they used in their experiences.

For that reason, we situate readiness for teaching online in that literature with hope of gaining insights in previous ways of teaching online. The authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose. As teacher educators in the field of educational technology, we wondered about the readiness of teachers for making the rapid transition to fully online environments at the onset of the pandemic and in particular, their sense of preparedness. There is a need to address the development of education leaders professional digital competence relative to all learning environments and delivery modalities. In nearly all cases, teachers elaboration comments explicitly stated the extent of their preparedness (e.g., I am quite well prepared). Through an internationally distributed survey consisting of predominantly open-ended questions, we captured teachers perceptions of this transition. The Norway and US data sets were examined separately. To better understand teachers preparedness to teach online at the onset of the pandemic, it is important to acknowledge the barriers to effective digital technology use identified in the decades prior to the pandemic. Teachers from both the US and Norway who connected a university experience to their preparedness and digital competence, also provided insights about their learning and knowledge gained: I received my Masters in [designing digital learning] at [University] last spring. Access to digital tools and instructional support for implementation as well as willingness to integrate technology to enhance instruction does not necessarily guarantee educationally rich classroom experiences. When the platforms we use constantly crash, I create educational programs that may be available outside of school hours. As for teacher standards the Directorate of Education and Training established a professional digital competence framework for teachers (PDC) in 2017. McDonagh, A., Camilleri, P., Engen, B.

I always think its exciting the things one can do with the help of technology. However, both unprepared and prepared from both countries shared solutions to screen time issues such as, Creating variety is extremely important in a period where there are many hours on the screen (unprepared Norway) and We are designing lessons that will encourage engagement, limit screen time and parental strain, and allow students to access the curriculum in nontraditional ways which foster creativity (prepared US).

The data sources for this study were responses from two open-ended questions that asked teachers to (1) elaborate on how prepared they were to teach online and (2) add anything else relevant to understanding their teaching practice during this crisis (for example challenges and/or opportunities you and/or your colleagues have encountered with the digital, lesson planning, school hours, how to follow-up learners, learners attendance, handing in assignments, various routines additional comments on challenges and/or opportunities). Other examples related to teachers digital competence relative to online teaching were highlighted through these PEAT dimensions. Calls for preparing teachers to teach in online and blended environments began to emerge in the last decade (e.g., Baran, et al., 2011; Barbour et al., 2013) with an emphasis on the development of specific knowledge and skills required for teaching online (Moore-Adams et al., 2016). The PEAT model conceptualizes key dimensions of digital competence for teachers and teacher educators through four equally important and interconnected dimensions. Findings from structural equation modeling showed that the perceived quality of teacher training during the online semester and self-reported improvements in digital skills predicted significantly students' intentions to use digital learning materials for Competences for online teaching: A special report.

Our findings show that barriers to online teaching in K12 settings first reported by Muilenburg and Berg (2003), particularly those related to organizational resistance to change, lack of shared vision for distance education in organization, lack of strategic planning for distance education, lack of training provided, and slow pace of implementation, remained impediments to online teaching at the onset of the pandemic. TRIO Teachers Readiness Online. One thing is clear though; there has been a shift from skill based definitions considering digital skills as a simple proficiency that can be trained to a more complex competence based emphasis. Digital competence frameworks (e.g., DICTE, 2019; Kelentri et al., 2017), standards focused on integrating digital tools to provide instruction (e.g., Carpenter et al., 2020; International Society for Technology in Education, 2017), and standards for quality blended and online teaching (e.g., Powell et al., 2014; Quality Matters & Virtual Learning Leadership Alliance, 2019) were available to inform teachers and teacher education in the years prior to the rapid shift to online teaching as a result of the pandemic.
