What do we mean by digital literacy? 

Our definition of digital literacy

Digital literacy is a set of cognitive, technical, and humanizing capabilities to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) to (i)learn, (i)create, and (i)share.

Expanded definition of literacy

 Given that literacy is viewed as more than a set of reading, writing and arithmetic skills, we subscribe to UNESCO’s statement that the current meaning of literacy is the “ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, and communicate in an increasingly digital, text-mediated, information-rich and fast-changing world.”

 Our measure of success 

Educators progress from iLEARN lower order thinking skills to iCREATE higher order thinking skills, and iSHARE humanizing skills, measured by ISIP (indicators of progress).

Our impact

Our mission and vision will contribute to:

• DEPEd’s Quality of learning outcomes
• UN SDG4: To ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030. When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

  How do we get there

 Kaisipan’s approach is to harmonize services in learner-centered pedagogy, open content aligned to DEPEd curriculum (complementary and supplementary), and leveraged last km technology solutions.

Building A Competency Framework for Educators in Digital Literacy

What is a competency framework

A competency framework defines the attributes/attitudes, knowledge, and skills needed for people within a sector or organization to be able to deliver the desired results.

What is the value of a competency framework

• It provides a common language of excellence as the foundation for key processes that people are engaged in.
• It helps drive culture change by aligning people’s behaviors to the Vision, Mission and Values (VMV) of an organization or a new desired state.
• It creates standards to guide and sustain people’s actions towards delivery of tasks.
• It helps make an organization/sector more cohesive by breaking down boundaries with a common language.
• It promotes fairness and openness within agreed measurable degrees of performance.
• It drives measurable business outcomes and performance.

What is a competency?

Competency is the application of a set of related knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) required to successfully perform "critical functions” towards the fulfillment of desired results.

• It is the capability to apply KSA in the delivery of tasks in a defined work setting. 
• It often serves as the basis for standards that specify the level of KSA for successful conformance to the requirements and needs of key stakeholders. 

What is a standard?

“Think of them as a formula that describes the best way of doing something.”

It could be about making a product, managing a process, delivering a service or supplying materials – standards cover a huge range of activities.

Standards are the distilled wisdom of people with expertise in their subject matter and who know the needs of the organizations they represent 

What has been done? (by August 13, 2020)

A Competency Framework

• iLEARN, iCREATE, iSHARE

 Key Capabilities 

• iLEARN – Cognitive Capabilities (based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Skills)
•  iCREATE – Technical Competencies (based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Digital Skills)
•  iSHARE – Humanizing Competencies (based on Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed)

What we asked the participants of the e-forum on August 13, 2020

Their analysis of 3 frameworks vis-à-vis the iLEARN, iCREATE and iSHARE competency framework

  1. Strengths (+)

  2. Points of alignment or convergence with

     iLEARN, iCREATE & iSHARE

Their suggestions to improve the content of the key competencies (what they think can be modified, added, etc…)

    iLEARN-Cognitive, iCREATE-Technical and iSHARE-Humanizing)

Three frameworks

There are many digital literacy framework, with many points of convergence.

• Devices and software operations
• Information and data literacy
• Communication and collaboration
• Digital content creation
• Safety
• Problem-solving
• Career-related competencies

Join the conversation

Review, analyze and discuss the highlights of the 3 Frameworks. Answer the following questions:

• What are the strengths (+) of each framework?
• What are the alignment or convergence points with
   iLEARN, iCREATE and iSHARE competency framework?

Go over the initial outputs on Competency Framework and Key Competencies

Discuss and share your ideas with a guide question, as follows:

• What are your suggestions to improve the content of the key competencies? (what you think can be modified,  added, etc…) (iLEARN-Cognitive, iCREATE-Technical, and iSHARE-Humanizing.)
