Abstract:

This book originates in the context of uTeacher, a project of the European e-Learning Initiative. The uTeacher partnership involves 3 partners: Istituto Tecnologie Didattiche (CNR, Genoa, IT), the contractor, SSIS Veneto (Università Ca' Foscari, Venice, IT) and the University of Glasgow (UK). The main aim of uTeacher is the definition of a Common European Framework on teachers' profile in ICT for Education. In Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) this framework will represent a means for educational administrators, course designers, teachers, examining bodies, etc. to reflect on their current practice, with a view to situating and co-ordinating their efforts and to ensuring that they meet the real needs of school in the knowledge society. In the near future, the framework could become a common basis for the elaboration of syllabuses, curriculum guidelines, examinations, textbooks, etc. across Europe.

To be accepted, this framework needs to result from a participatory approach, involving all European countries. Before starting this process, all the actors involved in framework production should have a clear overview of the current teachers' profile in ICT for Education underlying ITE and CPD initiatives across Europe.

This book aims to provide such an overview. It was written cooperatively by the uTeacher partnership, along with 19 European experts who in uTeacher are called "National Investigators" (NI).

The production process which led to the publication of this book comprised a series of coordinated activities designed to help gain a clear picture of the situation in each country regarding teachers' ICT profile underlying ITE and CPD, and to provide the opportunity for Europewide dialogue and comparison. These activities resulted in the drafting of national reports and of Week-long Seminar position papers reflecting trans-national perspectives and issues. It also saw the formation of a network of European investigators, consolidated at a week-long seminar, who will work together in producing the framework.
