Foregrounding Technoethics: Toward Critical Perspectives in Technology and Teacher Education
Krutka, Daniel G.; Heath, Marie K.; Willet, K. Bret Staudt
Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, v27 n4 p555-574 Oct 2019
The Teacher Educator Technology Competencies (TETCs) were created to help all teacher educators support teacher candidates as they prepare to become technology-using teachers. The TETCs largely focus on teaching "with" technology. However, one of the 12 competencies, TETC 9, offers an opportunity to delve into teaching "about" technology which might allow for the foregrounding technoethical issues in everyday classroom uses of technologies. In this article, we offer theoretical critique of epistemological, ontological, and historical commitments that are implicitly or explicitly communicated in TETC 9, but also more broadly in the field, profession, and society. Specifically, we draw attention to commitments to behaviorist learning theories, accountability reform measures, visions of democracy, and the need for diversity or equity in methods and findings. We conclude by offering suggestions for how teacher educators might inquire into technoethical conundrums through ethical, democratic, legal, economic, technological, and pedagogical explorations of technologies.
