In augustus 2012 zijn twee papers gepubliceerd over het ontwerp, de uitvoering en de evaluatie van programma's voor capaciteitsopbouw in VVOB-partnerinstituten in Azië. Je kunt ze vinden in een speciale editie van de 'Australasian Journal of Educational Technology' (AJET) over 'Bouwen aan de ICT-capaciteit van de volgende generatie leerkrachten in Azië'. Beide papers kan je hieronder downloaden (enkel beschikbaar in het Engels). De volledige publicatie staat op de AJET website.
De introductie van ICT en multimedia in de Cambodjaanse instituten voor lerarenopleiding
Door David Dionys, VVOB Cambodja
"This article describes the integration of ICT in the teacher training centres of Cambodia. It focuses on the collaboration between the Teacher Training Department of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MoEYS) of Cambodia and VVOB, which is aimed at improving ICT integration in pre-service teacher training. The article firstly provides an overview that outlines the major challenges the country is facing regarding ICT integration in education, and teacher training specifically. Then it will explain the strategy chosen to improve the quality of education, followed by a discussion of the concrete actions that were taken. While the integration is an on-going process, some intermediate impacts and findings are discussed. This short paper concludes with a look at the challenges lying ahead."
De limieten van geprogrammeerde professionele ontwikkeling rond de integratie van informatie- en communicatietechnologie in het onderwijs
Door Jef Peeraer, VVOB Vietnam en Peter Van Petegem, Universiteit Antwerpen
"In the framework of a development cooperation programme on quality of education in Vietnam, a professional development trajectory for teacher educators on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education was developed and implemented over the course of a three-year programme. We describe how the framework on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge inspired the development of the programme. In a longitudinal panel study, we followed a group of 1191 teacher educators (the 'total accumulated population'). We describe the trainees’ reaction to training and learning outcomes and we compare the use of ICT by educators who participated in the programme with those who did not participate. Data was collected from self-reported questionnaires and focus group interviews. Comparison of the use of ICT for teaching over the course of the programme shows that an ICT core group of enthusiasts made significant progress in integrating ICT into teaching practice. Exploratory multiple regression analysis highlights technological pedagogical knowledge and membership of a community of practice as significant factors for improved use of ICT. Nevertheless, the elements of the professional development programme explain only 26.2% of variance. We discuss the extent to which programmed professional development can have an effect on integration of ICT in education and reflect on how to make training programmes more effective."
