Selection, Production and Utilization of Appropriate Technology

Tools for Instruction

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 2

1. setting of learning objectives

2. designing specific learning experiences

3. evaluating the effectiveness of learning experiences.

4. revision as needed of the whole teaching-learning process.

Four phases of application of ET 1 in

teaching-and –learning

To orient the learner to pervasiveness of educational technology in society.

To lend familiarization on how educational technology can be utilized as media for the avenues teaching-learning process in the school.

To uplift the learner to human learning through the use of learning technology

To impart skills in planning, designing, using and evaluating the technology-enriched teaching-learning process

To acquaint learners on basic aspects of community education, functions of the school media center, and finally

To introduce the learner to what is recognized as the third revolution in education, the computer.

Educational technology 1 served:

To provide education in the use of technology in instruction by providing knowledge and skills on technology integration-in-instruction to learners.

To impart learning experiences in instructional technology-supported instructional planning.

To acquaint students on Information Technology or IT-related learning theories with the computer as a tutor.

To learn to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources.

To engage learners on practical technology integration issues including managing IT classrooms, use of the Internet for the learning, cooperative learning through the use of information technology, etc.

Objectives of Educational Technology 2

1. setting of learning objectives

2. designing specific learning experiences

3. evaluating the effectiveness of learning experiences.

4. revision as needed of the whole teaching-learning process.



While the course is primarily intended for the use of student-teachers, it can also be of great use to professional teachers, school administrators, teacher educators, and in fact anyone who is interested on how Information Technology can be used to improve not only instruction but the school management program and curriculum.

It may be said, too that the study of this course on Integrating Information Technology in instruction should not be considered as a formidable task, but rather as a refreshing and exciting study given the idea that all learning should be fun.

Masterplan

1.Commitment to a people-centered,

inclusive and development-centered

information society

2. Technology must be studied first as a

separate subject, then applied in other learning

areas

The application of computer skills to the

other learning areas is a curriculum policy

environment for all Filipinos.

5. An education modernization programme will equip schools

with facilities, equipment, materials and skills and

introduce new learning and delivery systems necessary.


Financial Resources


The bulk of investment requirements for implementing ICT in education comes from government funding.

To provide the physical infrastructure and necessary technical support

To develop teacher competence in the use of ICT and in the design, production and use of ICT-based instructional materials

To ensure access to the latest developments in ICT and to support research and development

To undertake a curriculum improvement that would integrate technology with the different learning areas

To promote the use of appropriate and innovative technologies in education and training.

Financial Resources


The Workforce Mobilization Programme with the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to improve English competence, industry certifications and career advocacy programmes

Establishment of Community e-Centres & Creating a government communication network

All public secondary schools shall be provided with an appropriate educational technology package

75% of public secondary schools shall have a computer laboratory room equipped with basic multimedia equipment

Restructuring the curriculum to integrate the application of ICT to teaching and learning

Operational targets by the

year 2009

The said Plan focuses on the

following thrusts:

Improving the delivery support system of basic education so that it includes the use of ICT as a component of multi-channel learning

Generating funds through non-traditional financing schemes

Retooling human resources at different levels involving sub-systems (Central office, field offices, and schools) and focusing on the different components of basic education


Professional Development Of

Teachers

Since year 2000, it has been the policy of the DepEd to give preference to the hiring of teachers who are computer literate

public schools send a few teachers to computer literacy training

Private schools usually hire ICT service providers


Key problem areas for

implementing ICT in education

Teachers’ fear of the technology;

School principals’ closed mindset to

and non-appreciation of ICT

in education;

Constraints of the annual Education

Budget;

Maintenance of ICT resources

and lack of technical staff;

Sustainability; and

Limited availability of

education software and courseware.


• How do Philippines schools compare with schools in progressive countries in the Asia Pacific region?

• The plan of the Department of Education is to supply computers to public elementary and high schools at a ratio of 1 school-1 computer. How adequate or inadequate do you find this plan considering that the public school system in the Philippines has average of 1,000 students in each school?


• What can be proposed so that the Philippines can cope up with its neighbors on IT education?

• Filipinos, including students are hooked up on cellphone texting. Is this enough for information skills literacy for our citizens and youth? Mention the benefits and disadvantages of our texting culture.
