Professional Development in Information Technology Competency for Teachers in Basic Education Schools

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to identify the present teachers’ ICT competencies in Pathum Thani basic education schools required by school administrators, determine the utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy of ICT competencies, and develop those ICT competencies for teachers into a training program. A mixed methodology using quantitative, qualitative, and four-phased Ethnographic Delphi Futures Research technique was used. Three sample groups included 181 school administrators of basic educational schools, an experts group of twenty, and a participants group of thirty teachers. Research instruments comprised the survey, the semi-structured interviews, the pre and post-tests, and a self-performance evaluation. The results reveal that ICT areas of school administrators required were related to what the experts group agreed. Based on the findings, an ICT training program was created for thirty teachers.
