ISTE Standards, TPACK Framework & ACRL Standards

Why Pedagogy Matters: The Importance of Teaching In A Standards-Based Environment (Entz, 2007) is a great article (.pdf) that explains and provides a "why" concerning the FHSU mindset regarding the awareness and alignment of the Standards and various frameworks in our graduate programs, including additional research that supports the alignment of the varying ISTE Standards (Crompton & Sykora, 2021). While the linked article pertains to PK12 education making reference to "pedagogy," it has long been our belief that the same foundational principles apply to adult learning or "andragogy". We believe that both pedagogy and andragogy apply since our programs have students who may not be PK12 educators. In AEP, we strive to bridge the gap between both worlds of employment. In this course, we will utilize both the ISTE Standards and TPACK Framework. You are more than welcome to also align your work with your own State or National Content Standards.

The International Society for Technology in Education Standards

(ISTE or "IS-TEE")

The International Society for Technology in Education Standards (ISTE or "IS-TEE") is an internationally accepted set of Standards that encompass all stakeholders within PK12+ educational settings. In order to receive full credit for the inclusion of any ISTE Standards, please use the following examples regarding citation and justification as to how they "fit" into your response or framework. Please do some reading and learn the roles and the standards and feel free to use/cite the standards for students, educators, tech leaders, and coaches depending on the scope of your writing or assignments. In the end, it is important that you label them so we all know which set of standards you are citing (look below for labeling). Please note that if you view the standards, there are no "publication dates" unless you download the .pdf document. This is completely free if you set up an account with ISTE. (Link to ISTE). Note that the ISTE Standards labeling was updated in the Fall of 2021 and below are the reflected changes.

Citing ISTE Standards in your Writings

It is common to cite the use of the standards in your writing for your courses as your ideas and work align with ISTE. You do not need to state the entire standard(s) in your writing but include an embedded APA citation in your writing, and then list the Standards (e.g. Educator, Student, etc.) you cite in your References page at the end. You do not need to write out or list the standards, just cite them where it aligns with your work/projects/ideas. For example, if I was discussing a topic, content, or idea that aligns to a standard, I would include an embedded citation at the end of the sentence for ISTE for Educators Standard 2.1.b would be listed as shown (ISTE, 2.1.b., 2017).

You are welcome to explore all standards within ISTE and align with those that are necessary to your current role, but I would urge you to push ahead and see yourself as a tech leader, thus exploring the standards under Education Leaders.

Referencing ISTE Standards in your Writings

Following this paragraph is an example of how to list ISTE in your References or list of sources for the ISTE Standards for Educators, but this would be altered based on what set of standards you are citing/referencing. References are double-spaced and there is a hanging indent on your formal APA 7 document. Per APA 7 rules, if the group name (ISTE) and the site name (ISTE) are the same, you can omit the Site name from the citation (see more on APA e-sources here).

The Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge Framework

Although there is a lot of written information regarding TPACK (see below), this video does a nice job of explaining, prior to you applying it to your work! Here is more written information regarding TPACK that may be useful in understanding why schools would adopt a framework such as TPACK. This is a guiding framework used in the College of Education at FHSU and is identified in three primary forms of knowledge: Content Knowledge (CK), Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), and Technological Knowledge (TK).

TPACK STANDARDS

Adopted Shared Values and Beliefs for Professional Educators at FHSU are below:

Citing TPACK Framework in your Writings

For this set of standards, you will cite the standard(s) you are aligning with (PCK 4, CK2) and then your Reference List could list the AEP 800 website (electronic source) or my syllabus. You choose. Remember the Purdue website is a very helpful source in understanding how to reference different sources. And some days, when all else fails, I just Google it (e.g., "How do I format an APA Reference from a Syllabus").

Referencing TPACK Framework in your Writings

This is an example of how you list the TPACK Framework in your References. Remember, References are double-spaced and there is a hanging indent on your formal APA 7 document.

The ACRL Information Literacy Standards (2015) are initially explored in Mini Assignment #2 and utilized throughout MIT813. In addition, please note that the ACRL 2015 Information Standards now have a companion set of Standards for Visual Literacy that was developed in 2022. I realize that both ACRL and ISTE are a lot to absorb and explore. ACRL is vast and encompasses a set of standards that easily compliments the ISTE Standards, and fills in the gaps regarding additional outcomes, integration, and expanded audience. Please take the time to understand both ACRL and ISTE's missions or rationale and remember that we are striving for progress over perfection.
