ABSTRACT
Teachers of today and the future are expected to have the ICT skills necessary for improving their teaching. On the basis of existing typical frameworks, this study constructs a new assessment model for K-12 teachers' ICT ability, with 6 domains including pedagogical knowledge and skills, ICT ability of teaching design, ICT ability of teaching implementation, ICT ability of teaching management, ICT ability of teaching evaluation, and ICT ability of teaching reflection. 319 K-12 teachers from China participated in an online survey. The results indicate that the reliability and validity of the new assessment model is fit for the assessment of K-12 teachers' ICT ability. The correlations of different paths among 6 domains indicate that one is the influence factor to each other. According to the model, K-12 teachers' ability of pedagogy is the highest, whereas their evaluation was the lowest.
