MODULE 2:

ICT Policies and Safety

Issues in Teaching and
Learning
 “There can be infinite uses of the
computer and new-age
technology, but if teachers
themselves are not able to bring it
into the classroom and make it
work, then it fails”
 LESSON 1:
ICT National or
International Policies
that are Applicable to
Teaching and Learning
•The international policymakers join
forces to successfully implement ICT in
educational practice to address the
individual needs of students, the
implications of technology for student
assessment, and teacher learning to
successfully implement technology (Voogt,
2013)
• The provision of ICT to academic
staff and students is critical to
recommend them to more effective
learning environments.
• The ability of policymakers to
innovate on related policy issues
outperform technological
innovations because it changes and
evolves.
• The World Bank’s Systems Assessment
for Better Education Results (SABER)
initiative, as part of their work,
attempts to document national
educational technology policies around
the world and their evolution over time.
• There are eight policy themes around
the world that are commonly identified
in educational technology policies.
1. Vision and planning
2. ICT infrastructure
3. Teachers
4. Skills and competencies
5. Learning resources
6. EMIS
7. Monitoring and evaluation
8. Equity, inclusion, and safety
The Medium- Term Development Plan of
the Philippines (MTPDP) states:

“ICT will be harnessed as a powerful

enabler of capacity development. It
will, therefore, be targeted directly
towards specific development goals
like ensuring basic education for all
and lifelong learning, among others
2002 Basic Education Curriculun (BEC), that
stipulates the following goal of Philippine
primary education.
“We must educate our Filipino learners to filter
information critically, seek credible sources
of knowledge, and use data and facts
creatively so that they can survive,
overcome poverty, raise their personal and
national esteem and realize a gracious life in
our risky new world”
The Restructured Basic Education
Curriculum launched in 2002 aimed to
implement an interactive curriculum and
to integrate technology in instruction
and education, with computer literacy
much emphasis.
