Teaching Competencies of Teacher Education Faculty

General teaching competencies were determined as a result of consensus from a panel of 17 educational experts drawn from institutions within the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and other educational organizations. Upon completion of the Delphi data analysis, conclusions were drawn. Teacher education faculty of traditional colleges and universities in 2015 will integrate more online technologies into their F2F classroom- based teaching environment. Blended course delivery modes integrating online components was strongly supported by the panel experts who participated in the study. Among various online approaches, the asynchronous or combination of asynchronous and synchronous mode will be more used than the synchronous mode alone. A total of 77 teaching competencies that higher education faculty would need during the next decade and grouped them into five categories: planning and designing learning environment; teaching and learning; technology; assessment and evaluation; and cultural and ethical issues.
