Contribution
This poster arises from the “Interuniversity proposal for initial training of teachers in digital technologies” project, in which the nine public and private Catalan universities took part, which award teacher-training degrees. This project arises from a need and a major concern: teacher-training students do not receive adequate training in terms of digital technologies (Aguaded-Gómez, 2009; Paredes, Guitert and Rubia, 2009; Herrada and Herrada, 2011; Losada, Valverde and Correa, 2012).
The hypothesis governing this project is that the passing from a mandatory subject in the old teacher’s diplomas for all the universities, New Technologies Applied to Education, to a transversal approach in the different subjects of the current teacher training degrees, is not producing the expected results (Sancho, Ornellas, Sánchez, Alonso and Bosco, 2008). This hypothesis is sustained by two problems. On the one hand, digital technologies are dealt with very differently in each of the study plans of the Catalan universities; and on the other hand, the options for transversal treatment of these technologies has resulted in the teaching staff who give the different subjects providing an unequal treatment of digital technologies (Sancho, Bosco, Alonso and Sánchez, 2015; Ornellas, Sánchez, Fraga and Domingo, 2015).
From this standpoint, the aim of this project is to elaborate an Interuniversity proposal of initial teacher training regarding digital technologies, taking into account previous references and research into this field of study; the competencies established in the Interdepartmental Project of Teacher Digital Competence of the Education Department (PICDD); the current study plans and subjects linked to the digital technologies of teaching degrees; the information relating to the stays of university teachers in foreign teacher-training centers and the practice undertaken by the different educational institutions.
Taking into account all the above, this poster aims to specifically incorporate the results obtained in both the first and second stage of the project. In other words, through the revision of teacher digital competences (TDC) present in the study plans of the participating universities and the collection of information obtained in discussion groups. With this in mind, we propose a visual map that is made up of two segments.
The first of these will represent the first results obtained from the revision and analysis of the study plans of the nine universities in teacher-training degrees for infant and primary teachers, determining the presence of teacher digital competencies established at a general level in all the universities and mandatory subjects linked to digital technologies. These digital competences were previously defined in the PICDD and grouped into five major dimensions: 1) Design, planning and didactic implementation; 2) Organisation and management of digital spaces and resources; 3) Communication and collaboration; 4) Ethics and digital civic behavior; 5) Professional development.
The second segment will show the results obtained from the opinions compiled in four focus groups (Ibáñez, 1979; Greenbaum, 2000), the aim of which was to find out what training needs exist in relation to digital technologies in both teacher-training degrees. The groups were formed in the following way: 1) teachers’ associations in Catalonia; 2) working referent teachers in relation to the digital technologies; 3) teacher-training students from the nine Catalan universities; 4) university lecturers who have undertaken stays abroad to study the different modes of initial teacher training.
