Rwanda creates ICT TPD road map

In May 2010 GeSCI working with the H2 consultancy group and on the invitation of the MINEDUC Rwanda, revisited schools and institutions to conduct interviews and clarify progress in ICT use with regard to the six ICT TPD matrix domains of policy, curriculum and assessment, ICT, organization and management, pedagogy and professional development. The MINEDUC-GeSCI partnership subsequently organized a one day focus group discussion workshop to critically review feedback from the field visits and to localize the ICT TPD Matrix for use in national, institutional and school-based programmes. The localization of the ICT TPD matrix will pave the way towards development of an implementation road map for building teachers’ capacity to effectively integrate ICT in educational practice.

The MINEDUC-GeSCI partnership developed a problem definition document in the area of ICT in Teacher Professional Development (ICT TPD) and followed this with a data collection from Pre and In-service Teacher Training Colleges and Institutions. The findings from these processes have been discussed and analyzed in a multi-stakeholder workshop conducted in April 2009. As a result of the workshop discourse and on the basis of the UNESCO ICT Competency Standards for Teachers, the Rwanda ICT TPD matrix and toolkit was developed.The ICT TPD Matrix has been trialled as part of the OLPC-Microsoft pilot project in Byumba School. In addition, feedback has been obtained from MINEDUC and its programme implementing agencies on the field test version of the matrix. The ICT TPD workshop was held on the 13th May 2010 in the National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC), Kigali. The theme of the workshop was “Focus Group Discussion on an ICT-TPD Matrix for Rwanda”. The strategic objective of the workshop was to examine parameters for ICT use in Teacher Professional Development in Rwanda in order to develop ICT Teacher Competency Standards for integrating the use of technology in Pre-service and In-service programmes.
