8. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • Model of three trends in ICT application in teaching and learning ICT Teachers Students 3 ICT Teachers Students 2 ICT Teachers Students 1

9. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A comparision of these three trends

10. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • Identify some necessary ICT skills to train pre-service teachers Skills of infusing ICT into teaching & learning Related technological skills Pedagogical Skills General Model of Teachers’ ICT competencies

11. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • Identify some necessary ICT skills to train pre-service teachers

12. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • Identify some necessary ICT skills to train pre-service teachers

13. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • Identify some necessary ICT skills to train pre-service teachers

14. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION • Practice in training ICT skills for pre-service teachers (a case study at the Biology Faculty, HNUE) • The status of ICT in education in Vietnam under the three trends model • Develop ICT skills of trend (1) and (2) for pre-service teachers • Use the “through technologies” training model. Since “teachers teach as they were taught”

16. CONCLUSION • The paper has presented a new approach in identifying ICT trends in education in which ICT is put in an interacting system with teachers and students • The three trends of ICT application in education that have been identified by the author helps to define some needed ICT skills for pre-service teachers • The author have implemented an ICT training course for pre-service teachers of Biology at the Biology Faculty at HNUE.
