Description

Garry Falloon's Teacher Digital Competence framework organizes teachers' curriculum, personal-ethical, and personal-professional digital competencies to inform teacher-education curriculum and assessment design.

Components

  • The Teacher Digital Competence (TDC) framework integrates curriculum, personal-ethical and personal-professional competencies: The TDC framework is a conceptual framework depicting broadly-based teacher digital competence as three integrated competency sets. It extends TPACK-aligned curriculum competencies (technical, technological, discipline/content, pedagogical/learning design) with personal-ethical pillars (digital citizenship, safety and data security, health and wellbeing, impacts on people, society and environment) and personal-professional pillars (information literacy, strategic professional networking, commitment to continuous professional learning). The article states the framework 'represents diagrammatically a broadly-based conceptualisation of teacher digital competence', with double-headed arrows indicating the interrelated nature of the pillars. It is intended to inform curriculum and programme design in teacher education rather than prescribe content. (Garry Falloon (2020))
