Abstract :
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become central to contemporary education. Teachers are expected to use digital tools for lesson planning, classroom instruction, assessment, communication, and professional development. Therefore, B.Ed. student teachers must develop strong ICT competencies before entering the teaching profession. This conceptual paper presents a framework for understanding ICT competency development among B.Ed. student teachers through three interrelated dimensions: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. ICT knowledge refers to understanding digital concepts, tools, and pedagogical applications; ICT skills involve the practical ability to use technological tools effectively; and ICT attitude reflects beliefs, confidence, and willingness to integrate technology into teaching. The paper discusses the theoretical foundations, conceptual model, and implications for teacher education institutions.

Keywords :
ICT competency, B.Ed. student teachers, digital literacy, pre-service teachers, knowledge, skills, attitudes.
