6. The Old and New Paradigms
The Traditional View The NCBTS View
Teaching is a technical
process, and the good
qualities of this technical
process are well defined.
Teaching is facilitating
learning, and the qualities of
good teaching are defined in
terms of whether students
learn or not.
Teacher knowledge is
technical knowledge
applicable to all learners and
contexts.
Teacher knowledge is
essentially complex and
problematic; applicability
varies across learners and
contexts.

7. The Old and New Paradigms
The Traditional View The NCBTS View
Teaching involves consistent
application of technical
knowledge.
Teaching involves reflective
and flexible application of
technical knowledge in ways
that best bring about student
learning.
Effective application of
teacher knowledge
dependent on prerequisite
inputs in teaching
environment.
Effective teaching is
determined within the limits
and opportunities found in
the learning environment.

8. Proposed Reforms
 The articulation of a singular
competency-based framework
for teaching and teacher
development that would guide
all policies, reforms, and
activities related to teaching and
teacher development, and which
shall be called the National
Competency Based Teacher
Standards (NCBTS).

9. Who Should Use the NCBTS?
 TEI :to design and implement effective
pre-service teacher education curricula.
 PRC: in designing the Licensure Exam
for Teachers.
 Organizations and agencies: that
implement in-service education for
teachers (INSET) shall refer to the
NCBTS in developing their
interventions.
 Award-giving bodies in defining their
criteria for outstanding teachers.
 The Department: in formulating its
hiring, promotion, supervision, and
other policies related to the teaching
profession. It shall also use the NCBTS
to guide its INSET programs for
teachers.
