What is Digital Teaching Competency Assessment?
📖 Development Concept
In order to cultivate teacher candidates with the ability to use diverse teaching strategies and technology in teaching, the Ministry of Education emphasizes that teacher training should integrate technology into teaching based on the “Guidelines for Teacher Professional Competencies.” This assessment serves as a measurement tool for digital teaching competency, assisting relevant units in training planning and competency diagnosis, and also providing directions for self-improvement for teacher candidates.
🎯 Assessment Objectives
To evaluate teacher candidates’ ability to use teaching materials, learning technologies, and digital platforms for teaching and learning diagnostics, enhancing their digital teaching literacy.
🧪 Assessment Method
- Format: Computerized test
- Question Types: Includes multiple-choice questions, true/false questions, practical questions, and question sets
- Practical Question Features: Simulates AI and general technology integrated teaching scenarios, conducted through multi-step operations
- Rules: Each question must be completed before proceeding to the next question
- Time: A total of 50 minutes. If the system is interrupted, time will be preserved, and the test can be resumed after processing.
Why Participate in the Digital Teaching Competency Assessment?
Everyone has different reasons for participating in the assessment. For me, it was because the school had a lottery, so I participated in the exam earnestly and wrote my reflections. (If submitting early counts as being earnest, what about that?)
Let’s look at the results!
I didn’t know much about this assessment beforehand, but I thought there was no need to review anything special, so I went straight to take the exam.
This exam mainly revolves around the operation of 因材網. I personally think 因材網 is a great website. Although it’s not well-known, I recommend using the Chrome browser, and aside from a somewhat unsatisfactory interface operation, it is one of the top free resources. If I get the chance in the future, I will introduce it properly…
Questions in the Digital Teaching Competency Assessment
(Sample Question 1) General Technology - AI Technology
Question: When AI explains “linear functions,” what method should be used to help students understand?
- A. Use abstract formulas without graphical aids
- B. Use concrete examples to draw function graphs
- C. Rely entirely on formulas, ignoring students’ understanding needs
- D. Let students find the definition of linear functions themselves
As I write this question, it feels a bit like a common sense test. Although in specific situations (like needing to improve student grades in a short time), I rely heavily on formulas and tend to completely ignore the need for understanding, not every student has this need.
The answer to this question is obviously B, which shows I don’t quite understand the meaning of the exam…
I can very much understand that assessing “digital teaching” proficiency through multiple-choice questions is very difficult, as practical operation is too challenging to test. For example, transforming this question into
Today’s lesson objective is to help students understand “linear functions.” Please upload the AI tool you choose to use and a screenshot of the classroom.
This would not only trouble the test-takers but also the graders.
(Sample Question 2) General Technology
Question: How can Teacher A create a course named “Animal Cells” on the learning platform (in three steps)?
step3: Before clicking submit, what else needs to be corrected?
So intuitive, right? But I vaguely remember that some questions are indeed related to 因材網, so familiarizing oneself with it before the exam might lead to better performance…?
Introduction to Available Digital Resources (Video)
I believe many college students look for useful resources when doing tutoring or decide to buy reference books directly. However, the government provides free and practical resources that align closely with current examination policies.
Although I usually create my own teaching materials and haven’t referred to the website’s examples, it should still be quite useful information for those who have no ideas about designing teaching materials.
Introduction to Available Digital Resources
Actually, I have done this before with EduSearch Recommendations - Free Learning Resources, and by the way, this is an advertisement. This site displays many resumes of tutoring teachers, hoping to help match tutors and students more efficiently. It is still under development, as my personal development progress is slow; I apologize for that.
In fact, you can ask any AI model now to recommend many free and practical resources, but you still need to filter them yourself. I usually try them out first, thinking that trying more is never a bad thing～
