This PEK-project focuses on how teacher educators attempt to enhance their digital competence by participating in the project "Teach As We Preach (TAWP)". At a policy level in Norway, high priority is given to information and communication technology (ICT) through the new educational reform (Læreplan for Kunnskapsløftet [LK06]). The ICT density is high in school, with one laptop per student considered desirable - a goal that is accomplished in upper secondary school. The main obstacle, however, seems to be the lack of digital competence among both pre-service and in-service teachers. However, the new White Paper No. 11 enhances digital competence to the fifth basic competence in teacher education. The PEK-project aims to enhance our understanding of how teacher educators’ develop their digital competence as part of their digital didactics.
In addition this PEK-project also focuses on how to improve students learning outcome in psychology through the use of response system and Design Based Research.
