Statement 2 - Tuula Nousiainen by EUN Partnership aisbl

Andreina Italy

profconcas — 2018-05-07 12:33:42 UTC

I think this can be stimulating for teachers ... stimulating for the knowledge of ICT but a valuable help in improving their approach with students... use the 3.0 classes more and more

Vasiliki Psaridou/Greece

psaridou — 2018-05-07 12:53:42 UTC

I agree with Tuula because that 's the answer I gave above as an idea that could be taken further.

Gina, Italy

luigia_motti — 2018-05-07 12:58:15 UTC

It's true. The biggest problem to face is to make the fear of technology overcome to the less competent teachers. I am so convinced of it that I try to stimulate my colleagues' curiosity and help them when they have difficulty

nazım kırdaş

2018-05-07 13:09:30 UTC

I agree. one step ahead

Daisy, Italy

daisydegio — 2018-05-07 13:10:02 UTC

The key word here is MOTIVATION: if you feel motivated, you are likely to succeed in doing what you feel is useful for you. The tech-competent teacher of the school should try to engage colleagues in attending seminars about the use of ICT to improve their methodologies, and he/she should be available when they need help. This is the first step, let's hope for the best.

Stefano, Italy

2018-05-07 13:11:23 UTC

I fully agree with the ideas expressed by Tuula Nousiainen. Personally I think that on the one hand there is the competence of a teacher in his own field of teaching, on the other his ability to transmit knowledge using effective methodologies that foster and facilitate learning.
Both of these aspects are necessary for today's schools to have the necessary resources to prepare pupils for future studies or for life.
Teachers who are less familiar with IT tools must be encouraged to invest in their own technological training, as it is no longer possible to disregard IT skills.

Emilia, Poland

2018-05-07 13:35:44 UTC

As I said before, technology is our future, so teachers must be aware of that and take advantage of ICT on their lessons. This is a challange for teachers,but they need to develop their skills.

Jana, Germany

roro1 — 2018-05-07 13:45:02 UTC

If we focus less on technology and more on the development of teaching methods, many more teachers will be convinced. Not everybody is excited about every new tool. As a language teacher, I think increased communication, access and mobility are the key to convincing my fellow colleagues.

Loredana, Italy

2018-05-07 13:51:00 UTC

I agree with Tuula and with a colleague who previously wrote that the biggest problem to be faced is that of overcoming the fear of technology to the less competent teachers. Fortunately, after the start that is difficult, after everything is easier especially if you work in a team

Adnan AKYÜZ, Turkey

adnanakyuz — 2018-05-07 14:07:13 UTC

Teachers who adopt traditional teaching methods need to be informed about innovative teaching methods. It is important to communicate the information in the right ways and to teach the students how to access the information.

Maria Luisa, Genova, Italy

marialuisa_borr — 2018-05-07 14:14:53 UTC

Not all teachers are inclined to use technology, perhaps because they do not consider it important, so I think it should be the head teacher to offer ITC training courses mandatory for all school teachers. In this way all teachers would have greater possibility to know and apply in their teaching these effective and innovative means for learning.

Alice, Italy

severi_alice — 2018-05-07 14:42:48 UTC

I agree with Tuula, because I think that motivation of teachers could be the best practice among us. I think that students can give motivation to teachers, if they are guided to it.

Elisa, Venice, Italy

elyragazzo — 2018-05-07 14:47:20 UTC

I think Tuula is right. I also believe that challenges are always difficult because they imply efforts, duties, responsibilities and involvement. Motivation is the key to foster more interest in the use of ICT. Motivation may come from within (we feel the need to improve and develop); it may also come from outside, from the context we are working in, from our colleagues, from our headteacher ...

Ecem, Turkey

ecemaknt — 2018-05-07 14:56:30 UTC

I totally agree with Tuula. Before I enrolled this course, I also had worries about TET-SAT like whether I am competent enough to use ICT for TET-SAT or not and nobody supported me because they know nothing about TET-SAT or why this is necessary. We just need motivation to use it. I think there should be constant conferences about how to use ICT properly in the classroom or how to engage students in.

Flavia, Italy

flavia_marcelli — 2018-05-07 15:09:53 UTC

I'm directly involved in motivating my fellow teachers about using technology as a powerful tool to involve and motivate students, whatever the taught subject. That's why I fully agree with Tuula: it's of paramount importance, we all agree about it, but it's also a main challenge - and not an easy one. I think less advanced technology enhanced teachers shouldn't be scared with great amounts of complicated tools and long training courses. Training could consist simply in observing a lesson in another class and seeing how much students are motivated, involved and happy with - maybe - a very simple tool like a "wheeldecide" on the IWB. Students learn better if they have fun and technology can help a lot in having fun!

Virginia Muntean, Romania

virginia_muntean — 2018-05-07 15:39:10 UTC

Mrs. Nousiainen expressed in very clear words the obvious priority or what should be the main priority - to motivate teachers to train , in order to become more advanced in the use of ICT and TET-SAT. Somehow all teachers will have to understand that the future involves technology , modern teaching, adapted to our new society and to our students skills. What will be the big challenge is the way they will be convinced of the necessity and determined to act themselves in that direction, without constraint or fear.

Graziamaria Di Giorgio, Italy

2018-05-07 15:45:43 UTC

It's the heart of the matter. In Italy wde have another problem: a lot of old teachers don't know English language, so it's difficoult to motivate them to improve.

Cristina Annicchiarico

2018-05-07 15:49:16 UTC

Younger teachers are certainly more prepared and motivated, but in my opinion the problem is only related to too many extra-school commitments; if the priority is updating in the tecnologies all the courses offered in schools should concern the tic. furthermore, these courses should then include phases of tutoring in the classroom involving the parents.

Serenella Silenzi, Macerata Italy

2018-05-07 15:55:40 UTC

I have immediately realized the difficulty Tuula has talked about: how to motivate teachers who need more training. I think that we can't rely on self-motivation on those cases, at least not immediately, but using TET-SAT could be compulsory (at least once) and then our Ministry of Education could ask about our results and a plan of improvement.

Isabel Bernardo, Portugal

Isabel_Bernardo — 2018-05-07 16:05:04 UTC

I agree with the statement that one of the challenges is to motivate teachers with less ICT skills to join self-assessment and professional development projects in the area. The challenge of motivating these teachers, in my view, implies: a) creating better conditions in schools; if the teacher has the perception that things are not going to go well (there are few resources, the equipment fails ...), then the teacher will not invest hours of work and then have to bail out of plan B (this was the reason why, despite having trained and trained teachers, never invested in the production of classroom materials for multimedia interactive whiteboards); b) create leading teams within schools that combine knowledge of technological means with solid knowledge and experience in pedagogy and teaching methodology (teaching a teacher to use the Socrative, for example, without making him reflect on the pedagogical bases, without showing him model examples and without highlighting relevance to their specific disciplines, is useless work); c) implement school policies so that there is the possibility of exchange of experiences, of materials and there is no tension between what a teacher implements in a classroom and another teacher in another classroom.

Cinzia Giulia F.

2018-05-07 16:10:38 UTC

I agree with Tuula, motivation is not only a big challenge for our students, but as school should be a community where we work together for the benefit of our students, the condivision of good practices and the involvement of all teacher in a policy of technology enhanced teaching should be the big aim of the school. More training is not enough , I would suggest working together , observing other teachers' work , team work ...

Annibale Italy

2018-05-07 16:18:17 UTC

During the training activities for the teachers can be introduce the tool of selfassestment

2018-05-07 16:53:09 UTC

I agree with Tuula.
One big challenge for the future is to motivate more teachers in the use of ICT, maybe attending projects for self-assessment and professional development.

2018-05-07 16:53:26 UTC

TET-SAT could help teachers to know their weaknesses and their virtues

Stefano, Italy

sfn6 — 2018-05-07 17:02:24 UTC

I agree, to motivate less technological tachers is utterly important. The thing is that we all live in a digital society so, maybe the challenge is less hard as one might think. It is more a question of awareness (what the digital tools we can use in pedagogy are) than a question of digital literacy, to say.

Filippa Luana Squatrito, Italy

luanasquat — 2018-05-07 17:46:31 UTC

I fully agree with Tuula: it is of fundamental importance to use the new technologies in the classes to motivate the students. now many teachers use it and those who are less expert should be supported also by the most capable colleagues.

Emilia, Italy

emilia_defrenza — 2018-05-07 17:59:02 UTC

Yes, I agree. A lot of my collegue are convinced to be good in ITC technology, that they have the full competences ...but when they try to do something most complicate...they find they are not so good...in sametime there are teachers that are completely against technologies and new technologies..are not interested in their use and known....In my opinion both are in wrong way. People, in particular teacher, have to be intouch with ITC, they must improve the use and get involved in techologies use. I try, when is possible, to learn everything and i get involved...without afraid

Monica, Italy

2018-05-07 18:06:24 UTC

Boys need to be motivated also through new technologies. This must be a stimulus for teachers to do a good training, supported by the most experienced teachers. Schools should spend more resources to do this kind of training.

Alessia, Italy

2018-05-07 18:10:49 UTC

Every teachers need to update their own skills and knowledge but the time available may not permit this. Moreover, it would also require economic incentives

Gianna, Italy.

2018-05-07 18:16:30 UTC

I agree, students need to be motivated through new technologies. Therefore all teachers must know how to use ITC

Maria Rosaria Tafuro, Italy

tafymar — 2018-05-07 18:43:30 UTC

I think that if teachers are well guided they will accept to be trained to better their competences in technologies as in most cases in teachers there are a natural inner tendency to improve their competences be updated to face the real needs of society

Okan, Turkiye

2018-05-07 19:00:24 UTC

Digital age..So everyone needs to be prepared and ready to use ICT. I think that students are quite ready if they are led. Students are active users so they are quite ready, but here the point is how teachers are ready. Some are quite talented and equipped, but some are not. Connected with the curriculums, material designs, methods/ techniques, they should be forced to use ICT, but of course they should be assisted well.

Jasenka Kuljak, Croatia

jasenka_kuljak — 2018-05-07 19:34:58 UTC

I agree with Tuula.
Big challenge for the future is to motivate more teachers in the use of ICT.

Monica, Italy

fabiamia2003 — 2018-05-07 20:25:13 UTC

I agree with the declaration of Tuula Nousiainen because to be good professionals you must love your work and this can only be achieved on condition that there is a good underlying motivation.

Drazenka Kuzman

drazenka_kuzman — 2018-05-07 20:32:16 UTC

I agree that one challenge for the future is how to motivate more teachers that need more training and are less advance in the use of ICT to take TET-SAT.

Immacolata ITALY

immacolatapepe — 2018-05-07 20:57:55 UTC

Technology is an integral part of our future because students are "DIGITAL NATIVES" so TEACHERS need to be aware of this and exploit ICT in everyday education. This is the great challenge for all teachers who will have to develop their skills.

FILOMENA BIANCO, ITALY

2018-05-07 21:00:04 UTC

I agree the challenge for the future is how to motivate those teachers who need more training and are less advanced in the use of ICT. Maybe one of the ways is to show them the advantages of using ICT in their teaching activities, also as a means to motivate students and to help them win their learning difficulties.

Paola T., Palestrina(Italy)

torniai_paola — 2018-05-07 21:29:43 UTC

The need to keep pace with society and prepare students for their roles in society are just two reasons to use technology in education. Educators and researchers point to the potential of technology to increase motivation and engagement of learners, cater for different learning styles and improve learning outcomes.

Angelamaria Galderisi, Italy

soleemare_a — 2018-05-07 21:53:38 UTC

I think that teachers who have some technological competences are eager to test their skills through TET SAT than teachers with lower ICT skills. So the real challenge is to involve the latter in testing the TET SAT without fear of being judged. In my opinion some teachers not only fear to be judged technologically inadequate but also to admit they possess few technological skills. So the TET SAT should be presented to them a secondary a tool to understand what technological area they need to strengthen.

Reyhan Gunes |Turkey

2018-05-08 05:12:04 UTC

I suppose the main problem is how to follow up the teachers testing themselves and their behaviour depending on the test results. There should be created an effective guidance on that.

Francesca. Italy

neiviller_francesca — 2018-05-08 06:45:08 UTC

Yes, I absolutely agree, it is necessary to involve more and more Teachers in getting the vision that stands behind new technology and this method can help a lot 111, because there are still too many Teachers who are reluctant in using new Technologies for teaching!!

Hande, Turkey

2018-05-08 08:14:49 UTC

A teacher who finds himself inadequate in the field of ICT may have given up on himself and isolated himself from such areas. Maybe "I can not do it anyway." it is necessary to help the diets.

2018-05-08 09:02:50 UTC

The challenge of our century is to motivate and encourage more teachers in the use of new technologies, according to me school managers should give the chance to every teacher adequate training in the use of new technologies by investing with courses of higher education.

Francesca - Italy

sorgente — 2018-05-08 09:29:30 UTC

It's true, I have seen it in this course. The TET SAT has to be developed to reach more and more teachers who, if not competent, are willing to omprove themselves

Ana Almeida; Portugal

arsalmeida — 2018-05-08 09:48:18 UTC

As I said before, I believe the way to involve teachers is to implement collaborative practices between the ones involved in the educational system. Not all the teachers are ready or willing to use ITC, ITC doesn't have to controll everything in our classrooms, but we need to take a step towards our students interests.

Mehtap Öz

2018-05-08 10:12:39 UTC

Aynur Korkmaz Trabzon/Turkey

aynur_angin — 2018-05-08 10:57:34 UTC

It is absolutely true. The teachers should be motivated in order to make them get trained about ICT. The ICT competent teachers are eager to and good at testing their skills through TET SAT than teachers with lower ICT skills.

Franca, Italy

2018-05-08 12:55:50 UTC

It’s very difficult to "make a system" among teachers; it’s difficult to disseminate good teaching practices and to convince colleagues that ICT is now a normal educational tool. It’s difficult to propose TET-SAT because they don’t want to be conscious needing a training in the use of ICT.
The schoolhead must give this type of address to his institute. He has to be supported by teachers who are already competent enough. Together, they can especially involve younger colleagues.

Denise, Italy

2018-05-08 14:02:49 UTC

To envolve more teachers in ICT is important to collaborate ad work as a team. In a team the competent teachers can help who is not already competent, can give examples, suggestions, models.
This collaboratice approach is important not only to improve ICT knowledge but to improve every teaching practice.

Rosa, Italy

2018-05-08 15:29:43 UTC

I agree that teachers should be motivated in order to increase these practices

Giuliana, Italy

2018-05-08 15:31:26 UTC

Affinché anche i docenti meno propensi all'utilizzo delle ICT possano apprezzarne i vantaggi è fondamentale "fare squadra". Nel team i docenti più competenti nell'uso dello strumento tecnologico possono suppoortare ed invogliare i docenti meno competenti.

Monica Giansanti - Italy

2018-05-08 15:37:53 UTC

I think that today much of the skeptic teachers about the use of the technology are also little informed, both on the side of the chances of applications to the learning processes, and on the side of the real impact of that applications. The sperimentation is the way to motivate teachers that need more training and are less advance in the use of ICT. I aslo found an impressive push to practice digital competences by me and for students by exchanging experiences and observing other colleagues. I mean that peer to peer support and training is very succesful in that sense.

Paola, Italy

maestra_Paola_M — 2018-05-08 16:22:53 UTC

In Italy we have ICT in every class, but a lot of teachers don't know English, so it's difficult to motivate them to improve. In Germany, where I teach now, the ICT are not widespread.

I totally agree. As I said before, it is very difficult to persuade teachers to use new technologies without motivation and interest. I think that managers should prepare motivation projects for teachers to use the new technology.

İsmail Erdoğan, Çanakkale, Turkey

aseka — 2018-05-08 20:08:53 UTC

I agree but I wanna ask that a teacher who is lack of Ict, how can he/she adopt Tet-Sat?

Sean, Ireland

seanbrilly — 2018-05-08 20:12:36 UTC

Any Teacher who is Technology Competent realizes that ICT changes and moves at a fast pace so they have to adopt and change. I do not believe that a Technology Competent Teacher is not motivated as their is always the challenge in assisting their colleagues to increase their competences

Catalina from Rom

I agree that teachers should be MOTIVATED in order to increase these practices, but is also neccessary to have these tools to use it

I totally agree that teachers need motivation as a way of increasing the level of participation because of a lacking information about IT and many of them are not taking ICT so serious as one way of improving the learners performance.
So school manager should provide adequately training and ICT equipment's such as laptops, tablets, projects etc. to whole teachers as a way of encouraging teachers to use ICT as one way to promote technology -enhanced teaching in class.

Lalitha India

2018-05-09 04:32:22 UTC

Yes surely, if a teacher has very minimal competency in the use of ICT, she cant use TET SAT as well. This means, prior to the usage of TET SAT there should be a kind of preliminary programmes to identify the teacher's level. Then we should have a target level for the teacher to achieve. Only then the application comes into practice. TET SAT will be useful then onward, to improve oneself. This needs lot of motivation both in the form of incentives and achievement certificates.

Bodrum, TÜRKİYE
I am a headmaster in a secondary school. %75 of my teachers use technology like smart boards in classes but they have little idea about ICT. They use certain methods which should be expanded. Some of my teachers have limited competency in the use of technological devices. So I think there must be target level for each teacher and they must progress step by step as we did in this course.

Pınar,Turkey

2018-05-09 06:02:40 UTC

In Turkey, most of schools are in lack of technological devices, but nevertheless we are trying to do our best in education field. and I have the opportunity to use computer in my classroom. but ı dont think other teachers can use it effectively in their class, because they dont have enough knowledge about ICT.

Adele, Italy

2018-05-09 08:44:21 UTC

It's important to motivate teachers to use ICT, but sometimes to improve use in every school you need an imperative term. Often only motivate, or ask to use ICT lead to a very little use in a whole school and only from sensible teachers.

Tamara, Croatia

2018-05-09 11:42:03 UTC

I agree that for using Tet-SAT is very important to motivate those teachers who are not skilled ICT users.

Galina, Bulgaria

2018-05-09 12:20:29 UTC

It's true that the majority of teachers who were willing to make the test, are to some extent, technologically skillful. But it is very difficult to motivate a teacher, who is 50 or over years of age, do the test. Most teachers in Bulgaria come into this group. Perhaps those, who have taken the test, should try to exlain and urge their colleagues have a try, too. Also, the Headmaster has the right to make his employeers do the test

Elena Pezzi, Italy

elenapezzi — 2018-05-09 12:50:51 UTC

This statement reflects my thoughts when I started this course.
Yes indeed, I think that the real challnge will be how to motivate teachers who are not "naturally" interested or skilled in the use of ICT.
I think that the real value of this tool will be appreciated only when a high percentage of teachers will be involved.
Once more, I think that a "peer-learning" training could be useful.

2018-05-09 13:12:20 UTC

It is true, often the older generation develop a phobia towards technology. I think there should be courses within the schools to help those teachers to learn basic skills. Often teachers

It is right for teachers to be motivated to train their technological skills to improve their pupils' performance.

Emilia De Simone, Italy

desimone_emi — 2018-05-09 15:40:13 UTC

The great challenge of the school is to motivate its teachers to use ICT, above all to understand the great potentials of the same, as they can be considered as a sort of "cognitive prosthesis", which brings added value in the learning-teaching process.
moreover it is not important to be "super expert"
of computer science as good users.
The competent and knowledgeable use of technologies is a topic of major importance as technological innovation is not a simple insertion of new tools within formal education paths, but rather, related use and teachers are always more aware; at the same time teachers are often aware that they are not up to their use, as it is not enough to be experts in the use of one or more programs, but rather it is essential to understand and know how to use them for educational purposes.
Often this awareness is not enough to motivate teachers to train, so it requires a further "boost", which can be constituted by both the obligation and also by certifications with value (diploma, certificate ...)

Rosanna, Italy

marraudinorosanna — 2018-05-09 16:06:25 UTC

The TET-SAT is an excellent tool for innovation and the enhancement of new technologies.I believe it is essential to motivate and encourage teachers to use this tool.

Maurizio - Italy

2018-05-09 16:45:59 UTC

The aspect that is still missing in the school is that of providing teacher training courses on the use of digital technology in teaching. Often the single teacher is inserted in a vortex that, if understood, appears easy but often, out of fear, is histo as a big obstacle that makes it vulnerable to the class

Daniela, Italy

dbrogna1 — 2018-05-09 17:59:28 UTC

I agree with Tuula; It is important to improve TET competences for all teachers in every school, and TET-SAT can be an excellent instrument to begin this revolution

Paola, Italy

pbenchi — 2018-05-09 18:18:00 UTC

I don't think it is easy to motivate teachers who are not keen on technology. But the TET-SAT self assessment is a good way to make them more aware of what is needed in the teaching/learning process today.

Amelia De Chiara, Italy

amelia_dechiara — 2018-05-09 18:40:20 UTC

It's a real challenge to try to involve teacher less advanced in the use of ICT. I have some competences and I always look for something that can help training me, while at my school I see colleagues that really need more training but don't care about it. When the school offers a possibility for improvement, they are wary and, at the end, they partecipate not because they want to but because they have to.

Assunta, Italy

2018-05-09 18:49:30 UTC

It is quite natural that the teachers interested in technology find TET-SAT an interesting and useful tool. The first problems come when you address less "technological" teachers. It is really hard to involve them and I have been trying to do so for more that five years with poor results.
Sometimes I think that we should use the same strategies as the ones we use for demotivated students, a step by step approach making the "vintage" teachers fall in love with technology. However this can only take place if the school has an excellent Animatore Digitale dedicated to the literacy of the less "technological" colleagues. A constant formation should take place and TET SAT is for sure the most important tool to use and a positive starting point

Maria, Italy

2018-05-09 18:52:55 UTC

It is natural that the most competent teachers will experiment with the TET-SAT, but then they should support the other teachers who are less inclined to use the technologies

Mayya, Bulgaria

2018-05-09 19:18:17 UTC

Yes, it is natural that ICT skilled teachers are more activ in TET-SAT. The next step in the school have to be shareing the tool and its benefits.

I agree with Tuula:
technologies are now an integral part of modern education. Most teachers now use new technologies but those who are less experienced should also be supported by more capable colleagues.

Mário, Lisbon School of Education

mariorelvas — 2018-05-10 01:08:25 UTC

I think MENTEP has a previous and more important challenge: determine why technology-competent teachers only got an Average score in TET-SAT. I would not be surprised if research findings showed that TET-SAT higher scores were more common among ICT teachers, followed by Math and Science teachers, History, and all the Arts at the bottom. My tentative explanation is that MENTEP is targeting at Technology-based teaching, not a Technology-enhanced teaching,

Benjamin, Ghana

2018-05-10 08:24:50 UTC

this platform has help me a lot and hope others too. modern teacher and policy makers now uses ICT and the need to encourage teacher who do not use or have less ICT knowledge

Rita Pirozzi, Italy

pirozzirita — 2018-05-10 17:05:13 UTC

I believe that the only way to motivate more teachers in the use of ICT is the practical example, particularly those already use new technologies in the field of education. Setting up and expanding of this new kind of teaching will require the large scale involment of European Schools system.
The proper functioning of the European schools system requires that teachers are able to use these new technologies for a new education ahead of this time.

Laura, Italy

sangiuseppebocchio — 2018-05-10 19:20:22 UTC

I think she's right. Everyone of us need to improve in this field, and if all teachers use ICT in their everyday practise students will learn how to use technology to their advantage. In my opinion, "learning to learn" with technology is not so easy, and they need time to improve. It is necessary to spread the awareness that every subject and every teacher can pass competences of digital citizenship for example, and that everyone in his field can bring knowledge of the world of technologies.

Anaida

Maria Letizia, Italy

Anthony Porcaro, Naples, Italy

2018-05-11 10:56:27 UTC

Ms. Nousiainen states that the typical user of the TET-SAT is a technology competent teacher. I must agree with that, as I fall in this group. As for how to take it a step further, we should apply new forms of training sessions in schools whereas we the more competent assist the less competent and introduce them to the tool as a way of understanding where they are at, their beginning point and where they need to go, their growing point.

Vassiliki Boltsi, Greece

2018-05-11 11:33:36 UTC

Apart from science and technology teachers I would say that humantities/social studies teachers would definitely need ICT training not to mention that from university studies that should have been included.

Domenico, Ital

2018-05-11 14:23:33 UTC

I believe that all teachers must have the same level of preparation with modern technology so that interdisciplinary collaboration is possible on projects developed to improve the students' skills and to seek points of contact with the reference territory of the school institution.

ICT was, in my country, until a few years ago a subject that only some "competent" teachers in the area would use. However I think that the teachers' mentality is changing and lots of teachers use nowadays ICT in their classes. but in my opinion lots of training is still needed and in fact we see some teachers who simply don't use ICT in classes because they don't have the knowledge they need

Ayşegül Çelik/Turkey

Imma, Italy

What you need to aim for is. as well as providing the educational institutions of all digital tools, training teachers through courses with many practical examples and dropped into contexts in order to be replicated and be a starting point for personal initiatives.

Monica, Italy

2018-05-11 18:56:43 UTC

Teacher training must be continuous, in step with changes in new technologies, students and society. All of this can scare, but it can also be very stimulating.

Sevinç Aytaş /Turkey

2018-05-11 20:42:02 UTC

I agree. I think someone who is not willing to improve herself wouldn’t apply a selfassessment test after all. To make more teachers willing, schools should organize days on which collegues would share good implementations with each other to motivate and encourage others.

Anna Maria, Italy

amricci1000 — 2018-05-11 21:50:00 UTC

Each school to be considered a day with the times must motivate teachers to reach new goals to feel more competitive and appropriate to the new reality. There can not be two parallel tracks, but there must be a meeting point where teachers and schools build a proper goal together.

Maro, Cyprus

mconstantinou1 — 2018-05-12 03:52:54 UTC

I agree with the statement. If a teacher wants a smooth, quick going lesson, with motivated students the only way is to strategically plan his/her self development. More opportunities for teacher training, especially in an era that everything changes so fast, where some of our students are more technologically advanced than us.

Silvia Savorelli, Italy

2018-05-12 08:30:08 UTC

Also I had the feeling that teachers who perform TET-SAT are already experts in technology. However, the test is easy to propose to other teachers as well and can serve as a means of bringing them closer to technology. A teacher who is not an expert in technology will certainly be pleased to see his strengths and deepen the weak aspects.

Teresa, Italy

2018-05-12 11:51:46 UTC

The TET-SAT test is easy to use and can easily be offered to other teachers. he problem is to overcome the fear of innovation and the belief of some teachers that they do not need to introduce new methods.

Luisa Pascarella, Italy

luisapascarella1965 — 2018-05-12 12:00:39 UTC

TET-SAT is easy to use, teachers don't need to be highly skilled in the use of ICT to take this.

Jole, Italia

2018-05-12 14:22:38 UTC

The use of Tet-Sat helps to become aware of our strengths but also of the critical issues. For those of us who train teachers to use the new technologies in teaching we could think of administering the Tet-Sat at the beginning of each course. It could be a great tool for brainstorming and for calibrating training.

I agree with Tuula that the self assessment is very important and that it implements a continuos quality process in the professional development. The problem arises from older colleagues who are no longer willing to acquire ICT skills and here comes the

school head's role in causing and motivate.

Maria Giuseppina Giammetti, ITALY

2018-05-12 15:25:42 UTC

I agree because it is difficult to involve weak teachers in training , especially in practicing the use of ITC after a training..we need motivation, hard motivation to be successful ; the fast change and the technicality are issues for some teachers ..so it is useful a self assessment to control and to guide own choices for a right training for own professional development

M.R. Cavaliere, Italy

2018-05-12 15:26:28 UTC

I believe that tet-sat is a useful and simple tool to use. However, it seems to me that it do not consider enough the difficulty of some teachers to use ICT in teaching related to the lack of IT tools present in their school. Teachers who do not have these tools available and who take the test are condemned to obtain low scores and this can be frustrating and limit the spread of this tool.

Laura, Romania

2018-05-12 16:40:00 UTC

I agree, and I have no idea how to motivate. I am lucky because I like using technology, but it is difficult to make somebody who is lost in front of the computer to like the idea to use it...

Adelaide, Italy

Milka, Croatia

milka_ivanlic — 2018-05-12 17:23:52 UTC

About Tuula Nousiainen's statement, it turns out to be the statement with which I agree more - the motivation for teachers to continue to monitor the evolution of technologies (often on their own initiative)

Alessandra, Italy

2018-05-12 18:14:44 UTC

I agree, I think it is very important to have motivated teachers in the use of ICT. The TET SAT is an easy to use and at the same time useful tool. But not all teachers have a significant and constant approach to the tools and use them in classroom teaching. Furthermore, there are still teachers who are reluctant to use digital tools and are precisely the most difficult to convince and less motivated.

Semiye, Turkey

semiye_isik — 2018-05-13 20:01:12 UTC

That can be the most interesting idea through the modules. And it's absolutely right, it's easy for a technology-competent teacher to assess himself/herself, but the next step should be motivating the teachers who needs more training on technology.

Nuno Lança, Portugal

nunolanca — 2018-05-13 20:17:16 UTC

As I suspected, the results show that the teachers that participated in TET-SAT were the highly skilled ones and, in the words of Tuula Nousiainen, the challenge is to take the tool to others less competent technology-wise. This is indeed quite a challenge and it can't definitively be done from a top-down manner.

Rosanna G (Italy

gaudiorosanna66 — 2018-05-14 06:13:38 UTC

I think it is useful to motivate teachers in the use of ICT. The TET SAT could be a really good tool to render teachers aware about their use and knowledge of ICT. Actually not all teachers have a constant approach to the tools and use them fully integrated in their teaching. I believe that each headmaster should render the test compulsory, each teacher should do the test and according to the obtained results, he/she should empower his/her weakness. Nevertheless e must also consider that in our schools there are still teachers who are reluctant in the use of digital tools so it is really very difficult to convince and motivate them.

Fatih TOY / Turkey

mrtoy — 2018-05-14 06:43:56 UTC

I think, one teachers professional development with the help of technology is a life-long learning journey. For this reason, competent teachers can always make new self-reflections on the results of TET-SAT when they take the test. For those less advanced teachers, the trainings can be arranged or organized just to the needs of those teachers.

Jaime Carvalho e Silva, Coimbra, Portugal

jaimecarvalho — 2018-05-14 08:17:22 UTC

It is always a challenge to motivate colleagues, teachers, administrators, politicians and other decision makers. Large scale experimentation projects like the one done with TET-SAT are useful for that.

I agree with Tuula, 'cos motivating teachers is the most difficult part. Especially in my country teachers can think this as an extra burden.Also training time is important.

2018-05-14 08:28:13 UTC

Maria, Italy

2018-05-14 08:28:50 UTC

I think it will not be possible for teachers who are less advanced in using ICT to reach a satisfactory level of competence. A teacher who until now has not experienced the use of ICTs is more difficult to understand computer architecture in its deepest structure. He could certainly experiment with simple functions to be proposed in teaching, but would not acquire full knowledge and mastery of ICT

Paulo Victor, Coimbra

paulopv000 — 2018-05-14 09:07:14 UTC

I believe that self-assessment is a great way to motivate people to improve, and that is exactly what TET-SAT does.

Letícia, Portugal

Daniel, Coimbra,Portugal

daniel_mat_ufu — 2018-05-14 09:27:58 UTC

From the studies in the previous modules, it is noticeable that the teachers whose formation is more solidified and who possess intermediate / advanced knowledge in relation to the technologies, are the ones that use the TET-SAT tool best. Apparently, investing in training courses on new technologies could be a good strategy. In addition, the exchange of experiences among the teachers themselves may be a good way.

Daniela, Italy

darezzo_daniela — 2018-05-14 09:52:31 UTC

I totally agree with her.
Maybe TET-SAT could be a compulsory test for all teachers in national or local projects in order to improve the use of technology in the classroom.

Sevda, Turkey

sevdakcelik — 2018-05-14 10:03:39 UTC

I strongly agree with the statement. Teachers using TET-SAT have motivation to improve their technology competences. We can start from our schools to motivate others.

Anna, Italy

giannamaside — 2018-05-14 13:16:27 UTC

Yes, that's right. If I could make a suggestion, I would that TET-SAT was compulsory for teachers who would like to prepare or take part to a project.

Vítor, Portugal

girao_bastos — 2018-05-14 13:48:48 UTC

We've to show them the real power of tech for innovating and enhancing use.

António Gonçalves, Portugal

afgoncalves61 — 2018-05-14 14:17:01 UTC

What she said is true. To convince the teachers with less experience in Technology Enhanced Teaching, the ones who have already the experience must talk and show them the pedagogical advantages on the use of technology in the classroom.

Teachers who know English usually uses ICT tools. I think it is about commodity in refusing to learn something new.

I totally agree with Tuula Nousiainen's statement. In effect the typical user of TET- SAT are quite technology-competent teacher. But I think that a good teacher always should keep up to date.The best way to motivate more teachers is to organise compulsory refresher courses.

I agree with Tuula Nousiainen.I also agree with my colleague's opinion, here ( Diane Popa ).Language teachers and also ICT teachers are more open to use ICT tools and resources.The ministries of education should find ways to propose interesting courses to motivate the rest of the teachers whose competences in ICT are low.There are still teachers who reject technology because they don't trust it, they don't have the patience to try new things .

Laura - Italy

2018-05-14 17:38:15 UTC

I agree with Mrs. Tuula Nousianien... but it's not impossible to involve other teacher less advanced in technology use, just helping them with the right tools!

Salvatrice Maria Stella La Vaccara-Ital

2018-05-14 18:08:43 UTC

The statement fully agrees to involve and motivate teachers to acquire appropriate technological expertise is the first essential step. It is not easy because often
the programmed paths do not respond to the teacher's training needs, so I think it is useful to start from specific tests that can highlight the real skills of the individual.

Seçil SEKÜ,TURKEY

secilseku — 2018-05-14 18:39:11 UTC

There seems to be a watershed between teachers who understand the necessity of TIC at school and those-usually older- who look at it with suspicion if not fear. I think we should wait for a generational change to get a whole class of technology-competent teachers

I really agree with Tuula Nousiainen. I have really experienced her statement. I was motivated to technology thanks to the use of really interesting tools

I agree with her. Because there are lots of interesting tools in technology

For me, it's a matter of time. It is happening with the use of technology in personal life (today, it's rare to find people who don't have a mobile phone, a computer, a facebook profile, etc.), and I guess it will happen in education too.
Encouraging the technology-enhanced teaching in the formation of new teachers at the university would probably help a lot, because if new teachers get to the schools with this spirit and teachers who are already used to it keep using it, teachers who refuse to use it can see the good results and, maybe, change their minds. That's a progressive work. Conferences, lectures in the schools, meetings... All of these things can also be used as some publicity to this new subject that is TET.

annamaria_scrimieri — 2018-05-15 05:28:15 UTC

I completely agree with here as we live in a technological area and all of us needs to fit in that. Our students are accustomed to technology and also teachers need to be, so they must have technological competences to make their lessons even more involving ad interesting. The future is technology and also the future of teaching/learning is based on it.

Alina, Romania

I totally agree. I think a good teacher is first and foremost a good student and if he wants to improve his / her own skills, it is necessary to self-evaluate to get the best results from himself / herself and from the students

For teachers who need more training and are less advanced there is a need to overcome resistance with incentives and awards. Recognize the credits to be used for professional careers.

In my opinion, any change is difficult to deal with for some people. ICT and teachers is not a different issue. Some teachers have to face this new methodology and ICT tools, all they need is to be confident and comitted.

Rosalba, Italy

2018-05-15 13:45:26 UTC

I think that every change is a challenge not easy to happen. ICT tools are usually seen from most of teachers as useless skills and difficult to learn. So in my opinion to really win the challenge the teachers should be confident with ICT: maybe with a structured huge course?

Kristina L.

2018-05-15 13:52:48 UTC

Teachers that need more training and are less advanced in the use of ICT will in time also come to conclusion about necesity of self-assessment.

It isn't easy to involve teahers with low skills in ICT in training. They usually feel unconfident about them. In my experience they need a good trainer and little steps to reach. This tool could help them in an ongoing process of self improving process.

A simple way to motivate teachers to use TET-SAT is to feed students: students who have experienced TET-SAT with some teachers will suggest others to use TET-SAT to get better results.

ToniaC-Italy

tonia_calo — 2018-05-15 19:13:36 UTC

I think that all teachers should be trained in using technology since their beginning carrier and theit competence and skills must be continuously updated as the Internet world runs fast. TET-SAT could be the best tool to give teachers the right measure of their being aware users of technology

Milijana, Serbia

petrovic_milijana3 — 2018-05-15 21:50:25 UTC

School equipment is bad and it's the main deadline, so IT is being used a little, and therefore training teachers and self-assessments.

Emilia, Brazil

2018-05-16 02:38:02 UTC

It's important to help other teachers to be aware of their weaknesses and strenghts in use ICT in their classroom.

Hümeyra/Turkey

hs_yener — 2018-05-16 06:55:47 UTC

I totally agree with Tuula's statement. In order to improve teacher competence in using ICT in education,Tet-sat enables you to see your strenghts and weaknesses. Teachers can self assest their techology-enhanced teaching.In order to motivate teachers to use techology in their classes, the sharing of good practices and lessons learned can help teachers to concentrate on effective use of technology.

Tülün Tekeli/Türkiye

tulintekeli33 — 2018-05-16 07:20:56 UTC

Students are adapting to technology faster than teachers. For this reason, we should know and use ICT better. We have developed a simple way to motivate teachers to use TET-SAT.

Laura Masiero, Portugal

lasilva17 — 2018-05-16 12:40:57 UTC

Students are already familiar with the use of technology and we teachers should be constantly seeking to improve our teaching methodologies. For this we need to know how our relationship with the technologies is and in what area we need to improve in order to find a way to improve ourselves in these areas.

Mustafa -Türkiye

Students are more interested in technology. For this reason, we should know and use ICT better. We must motivate teachers to use TET-SAT.

Riccardo Lopes, Italy

2018-05-16 15:25:48 UTC

The fact that the typical TET-SAT user could be a fairly competent teacher in technology is a risk. However, I believe that asking for a self-assessment tool that work also as motivating tool for beginners is too much.

Mirela, Romania

Vedere i risultati dei propri colleghi, magari molto più esperti porta molti altri a perdersi e a rinunciare per sempre. Un'autovalutazione fatta "in privato" secondo me può portare più risultati

Demet Gür/Türkiye

Our age is technology age, so we have to use big scale technology in our courses.
Everyone has to be ready to use ICT.
The students are more prepared than we are because they are born into technology.
Teachers must be forced to use ICT.
Schools should be equipped and teachers should be supported by trainings.

Definitively motivation is a very important factor. I believe that when teachers see how they can integrate and the impact this has on education they will be more willing to learn how to use it.

Ferhat, Turkey

When teachers see that they fail without the usage of technology in teaching, they will motivate their own. Otherwise the will know they wo't succeed.

Gürbüz Bilge,Turkey

gurbuzbilge25 — 2018-05-18 21:13:08 UTC

When teachers realize the power of technology, the world will be reshaped.

Teachers that need more training in the use of ITC can be motivated to take TET SAT if they consider it as a tool to improve their professionalism.

Cristina, Italy

laspinacris — 2018-05-21 12:39:02 UTC

Quite obviously ICT advanced users are more keen on using TET-SAT and on becoming even more competent. I think that less competent collegues need to see some advantage in investing in ICT. If they see that other teachers are enthusiastic about technology and that it really helps the learning process, then they will be more likely to engage in ICT tools and to take the TET-SAT,

Lucia, Italy

Self-assessment is certainly useful for a critical approach, but it is also necessary to share experiences to stimulate each other.
