Abstract

Background and Objectives: Research findings about the application of information and communication technologies in classroom has shown that despite the efforts done and the large amount of costs spent for empowering Teachers' computer skills, these activities have not been able to create desired changes in the role and activity of Teachers in schools. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to study the phenomenological process of Iranian Teachers' ICT Competence in order to present a native model. Methods: This was a qualitative phenomenological research, because the lived experiences of Teachers in achieving technological Competence in the classroom have been used to explore the objectives of the study. The statistical population of this qualitative study were all Teachers in Urmia City. 22 Teachers (13 females and 9 males) were selected by non-random purposeful sampling method with considering the desired characteristics and theoretical saturation based-rule. Participants who engaged in 17 different schools including public, board of trustees, gifted, nonprofit, and rural schools, were selected. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview. Voice recording and note-taking (with emphasis on voice recording), as two techniques for data gathering were also used. George's (1970) four-step coding approach was used to analyze the data. The coding process was performed in MAXQDA10 software. Findings: The findings of the qualitative analysis indicated that the process of Teachers’ gaining ICTCompetence can be organized into five components, including: 1) motivation/ tendency/ interest in Teachers including the following sub-components: changing Teachers’ salary, changing Teachers’ position, creating sense of need, classification of Teachers based on their prior knowledge, paying attention to the timing of the courses, changing the viewpoint to the teaching profession, and choosing the right professor; 2) planning, including the following sub-components: Teachers’ rating (need analysis), determining curriculum (educational topics), choosing the right professor, locating the right place, and determining the right time; 3) beginning of the learning process including the following components: hardware Training, software Training, problem-solving Training, information literacy Training, facilitating access to educational resources, and Supporting; 4) implementation of the learning process including the following sub-components: In-Service preparation courses, In-Service Training courses, specialized school courses, and out-of-school courses; and 5) institutionalization of Technology Competence including the following sub-components: Problem-solving Training, formalizing collaboration between Teachers, and formalizing follow-up courses for teaching and learning. Conclusion: This model is presented by looking at the needs of Teachers, the conditions and organizational structure of the educational system, the facilities of schools, the status of courses, the cooperation between Teachers, and so on. In this model, all the influential factors in the process of acquiring information and Technology Competence by Teachers have been included and based on the content of the interviews, each of them has been considered in the relevant step. Although these components or steps should be organized in hierarchical or step-by-step structure, in many places it is possible to go back and start from the previous step. It is hoped that this model will be a step toward developing an appropriate model in the field of staff Technology Competence for the educational organization and other organizations.
