5. UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT – CFT) The UNESCO ICT Competency Standards for teachers are defined as a tool/benchmark/framework to determine the competencies of a pioneer/leader/ innovative teacher and to develop a core of learning activities which can be adapted and used throughout member states. Key areas Pedagogy and ICT, Collaboration and ICT, Organisational development and ICT, School innovation and ICT. In the proposed UNESCO Syllabus, ICT is never seen as a knowledge area per se, the focus being on the relationships between ICT and the four components of a pioneer teacher’s profile.

6. Developing the CFT Matrix Approaches Increase the ability of students, citizens, and the workforce to innovate, produce new knowledge and benefit from this new knowledge. Increase the technological uptake of students, citizens, and the workforce. Increase the ability to use knowledge to add value to society and the economy. Connecting education policy with economic development KNOWLEDGE CREATION KNOWLEDGE DEEPENING TECHNOLOGY LITERACY

Basic Tools: The technologies involved in this approach include the use of computers along with productivity software; drill and practice software, tutorials, and web content; and the use of networks for management purposes Complex Problem Solving: Classroom pedagogy associated with this approach includes collaborative problem- and project-based learning in which students explore a subject deeply and bring their knowledge to bear on complex, every-day questions, issues, and problems Teacher as Model Learner: From this perspective, teachers are themselves master learners and knowledge producers who are constantly engaged in educational experimentation and innovation to produce new knowledge about learning and teaching practice Examples
