MIICE • Measurement of the Impact of ICT on Children’s Education • Pronounced as “mice” (with 2 Is)
Purpose of MIICE partnership To contribute to the debate about the ends of more widespread use of ICT for learning and teaching. Use of ICT makes real demands - in money and time - on education authorities, schools, teachers and children. We need to be clearer about the benefits which we can anticipate SITC case studies
Who are the MIICE partners? • Currently 31 education authorities: Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll & Bute, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries & Galloway, Dundee, East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, East Renfrewshire, Edinburgh, Eilean Siar, Falkirk, Fife, Glasgow, Highland, Inverclyde, Midlothian, Moray, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Orkney, Perth & Kinross, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Shetland, South Lanarkshire, Stirling, West Dunbartonshire, West Lothian • All 7 teacher education institutes: Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Paisley, Stirling, Strathclyde • Learning and Teaching Scotland • Initiated by SITC in Moray House in the University of Edinburgh
MIICE quality framework (toolbox) • There are 13 quality indicators refined from observation of qualities resulting from good use of ICT in classrooms • 7 QIs relate to learners’ skills, attitudes and insights • 3 QIs relate to the management of learning • 3 QIs relate to teachers’ CPD in ICT • Quality indicators are expanded into themes • Headings within themes are the basic building blocks of the framework • Used to plan targets or success criteria • Can also be used for review or audit
MIICE quality framework • Validated through interviews with 242 Scottish teachers in 67 schools in 11 EAs • Strength of partnership and framework comes from the development of the initiative from within the education system and not through imposition from Scottish Government • HMIE are in sympathy with the partnership aims • Learning and Teaching Scotland are members of the partnership
