TRAINING 45,000 TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS IN THE PEDAGOGICAL USE OF ICT

摘要

Denmark has come a long way in the attempt to ensure a sufficient level of integration of ICT in education. From first embedding ICT in all curricula via focusing on access to computers and educational software, through national action plans to ensure high speed internet access in all Danish schools, the Danish Ministry of Education is now focusing on in-service teacher training. The ICT in education action plan of the Danish Minister of Education states that by 2003 all Danish teachers must possess adequate, relevant, measurable and homogenous pedagogical ICT skills to ensure a sufficient ICT integration in all subjects at all educational levels. The development of the Pedagogical ICT licence has helped push this development forward, and its decentralised model has ensured local commitment while still maintaining a sufficient degree of national quality control.
