Abstract
The Technology in Education Competency Survey (TECS v1.1) is a self-assessment rating form covering teacher competencies in major areas addressed by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards for the USA. It is intended for preservice educators interested in measuring the level of technology competency in their students. Preservice programs may wish to use this instrument as a posttest to determine if students, upon exiting, feel competent to use information technology in their future classrooms. TECS v1.1 may also be useful as tool to assess pre-post changes in classes that intend to teach integration techniques.
