Research evidence
Mathematics
Science
understanding and applying mathematical concepts when the measures related specifically to the concepts and processes being learnt
understanding of science concepts, developing problem solving skills, hypothesising scientific relationships, scientific reasoning and explanations
English
creative writing and language but theresults are very inconsistent and restricted by the rate of ICT useand access in schools

Effects on practice:individual teachers
• Teachers withdrawing as a leader in the classroom
• Teachers’ experiences affecting their theoretical knowledge
• Complex relationships between pedagogical reasoning and actual uses of ICT
• Limited teachers’ knowledge of ICT reduces the affordances provided to pupils
![Page 11: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Implications for the curriculum
• Identifying the ICT resources to fit/enhance the curriculum
• Replacing well-tried content with ICT-based activity
• Matching the ICT resources with pupils’ level of knowledge and competency
• Balancing the ICT-based activities within a crowded curriculum
• Distinguishing the ICT skills from the topic concepts and skills
![Page 12: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Implications for the school/institution • Developing and maintaining a long-term strategic
plan for ICT use across the curriculum
• Acquiring and providing appropriate ICT resources
• Time-tabling sufficient access to ICT resources
• Providing on-going ICT support and guidance
• Providing adequate professional development for all teachers
• Ensuring long-term maintenance of ICT expertise
![Page 13: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Issues for effective models
• What types of ICT hardware, software, and communications are being used by teachers and for what purposes?
• What are the levels of use of ICT in schools regarding different types of ICT?
• What impact might ICT have on specific concept knowledge, on specific skills and on specific processes and how does this relate to different teaching practices?
![Page 14: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A framework for pedagogiesand practices
Pedagogical reasoning
Teachers’ knowledge, beliefs and values
Teachers’ behaviours
Affordances
Students’ knowledge, beliefs and values
Students’ behaviours
Actions and activities
Learning outcomes
![Page 15: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pedagogical reasoning• Subject content knowledge• Knowledge related to general teaching issues, e.g. teaching
approaches, classroom management• Curriculum knowledge - “tools of the trade”: schemes of work,
resources etc.• Pedagogical content knowledge - their own special form of
professional understanding
• Knowledge of learners and their characteristics; • Knowledge of educational contexts: groups, classes, school and
wider community• Knowledge of educational ends, purpose and values and their
philosophical and historical grounds.
![Page 16: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Goals for effective practiceBuilding on teachers’ existing expertise• Considering the types of ICT uses which will best
achieve the learning objectives • Balancing the teachers’ roles and the role of ICT• Recognising the possible changes in subject knowledge
and content • Having a good understanding of the pupils’ knowledge,
skills and abilities including their ICT capability that led to their planning decisions
• Having an awareness of the role of the pupils in helping each other to achieve the learning objectives
![Page 17: Connecting Teachers Can there be models of effective practice for teachers with ICT? Chair: Christine Vincent, Becta Presenter: Margaret Cox King’s College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e8f5503460f94b929ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Teachers need to know and understand• that some ICT uses will change the nature and
representations of knowledge and of the way the subject is presented to and engages the pupils
• the potential of ICT resources not only in terms of its contribution to pupils’ presentation skills but in terms of its facilities for challenging pupils’ thinking and extending pupils’ learning in a subject.
• how to prepare and plan lessons where ICT is used which will challenge pupils’ understanding and promote reflection and thinking;
• which kinds of class organisation will be most effective for the learning tasks, e.g. as individual/pair/group work or as a whole class presentation;

Towards a model for effective practice
• Identify the practice best suited to the teacher type
• Identify the range of ICT resources best suited for the current curriculum subject/topic
• Relate the teacher type to the balances between ICT and other activities
• Identify strategies for teachers to move from traditional type to innovative type
