- Introduction to simple computer operations: turning on and shutting

down the unit, using the mouse and the keyboard, exploring the use

of the icons, doing simple word processing

Public

Grade 4 - Area of study under Home Economics and Livelihood Education (HELE)

Secondary Education

First Year

- as an area of study under Technology and Home

Economics (THE)

- Computer applications for further skills

enhancement: word processing, spreadsheet,

database, presentation using Powerpoint, using

the Internet

- More Complex Operations such as programming

and website development in some private schools

Where Do We Want to Be?

Goals and Objectives of the ICT in Basic

Education Program Deliver quality education that is accessible to all through the use of appropriate information and communication technologies

Undertake a curriculum improvement program focused on the

integration of technology in the different learning areas Provide the physical infrastructure and technical support necessary

to make information and communication technology accessible and

useful to learners, teachers, administrators and support staff Develop teacher competence in the use of the technology and in the

design, production and use of ICT-based instructional materials Ensure the access to the latest developments in ICT and support

research and development Promote the use of appropriate and innovative technologies in

education and training

20

B. Thrusts of the ICT in Basic Education Program Restructuring of the curriculum to integrate the application of ICT in teaching and learning

Improvement of the delivery support system of basic education as to include the use of ICT not as an alternative delivery scheme, but as a component of multi-channel learning

Fund generation that explores non-traditional financing schemes

Retooling of human resources at different levels involving sub-systems (Central Office, field offices and schools) and

focusing on the different components of basic education.

21

How Do We Know That We are Getting to

Where We Want to Be?

22

A. Policies on the Use of ICT in Basic

Education Technology shall be studied first as a separate subject

and then applied in other learning areas as a tool for learning how to learn.

An education modernization program shall be undertaken to equip schools with facilities, equipment, materials and skills and to introduce new learning/delivery systems necessary to capitalize on recent technological developments.

The participation of other stakeholders in education shall be generated in the upgrading and modernization of the public schools especially those in the underserved provinces.

23

B. Programs and Projects DepEd Computerization Program 2002 Basic Education Curriculum Adopt-a-School Program Intel Teach to the Future Program Customized Med/MS in Teaching IT Continuing Studies Via Television PCs for Public Schools Project Project Link IT Centers Development of Multi-media Materials Computer Education for Elementary Schools Eskuela ng Bayan Project Educational Television Computer Literacy Program for Selected Schools Mobile IT Classrooms ICT Mediated S & T Learning Program Mini Computer Laboratory Development of Computer-Based Teaching Modules

24

How Do We Get to Where WeWant to Be?

25

A. Evaluation Survey of Secondary Schools (1998) - Covered among others baseline information on the schools,

science and mathematics teacher and the extent to which computers are used for instruction and other purposes

Second Information Technology in Education Study (2001) - Focused on the innovative use of ICT in teaching and learning

Survey of Information and Communication Technology Utilization in Philippine Public High Schools (2001) - Determined the use of ICT in the Philippine Public Secondary Education system

26

B. Issues

Role of the Administrator in an ICT Environment

> systematic development program for education managers shall be implemented to unfreeze the mindset of the principals so as to the use of ICT in education.

Inadequacy of ICT Facilities > other resources shall be increasingly tapped to finance ICT expenditures in education.

Maintenance of ICT Resources

> training of the THE teacher on troubleshooting shall be embarked in coordination with the

private service providers.

Sustainability > The Local Government Units shall be increasingly tapped to ensure the sustainability of the ICT program. The devolution to the LGU of the reasonable share in the responsibilities to finance the maintenance and operation of the ICT laboratories shall be hastened.

Dependence on software/courseware provided by the ICT service provider > A system to develop ICT-based education materials shall be undertaken.
