    This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. It notes that ICT, including computers, the internet, and satellite technologies, can expand access to education, strengthen relevance, and raise quality. However, effective integration requires suitable technology, curriculum, pedagogy, teacher competencies, and institutional readiness. Some challenges to integration are issues with hardware and software, developing technology-focused curriculum, providing teachers technical support and training, and ensuring policies support ICT use. Benefits include expanding access, preparing students for the workplace, improving quality and motivation, and facilitating student-centered learning. Key challenges are developing educational policy, ensuring sufficient infrastructure and access, building teacher capacity, addressing language barriers, and ongoing

    radio TV computers internet satellite technologies

    ICTs help to
    expand access to

    education strengthen the relevance of education raise educational quality

    A WORD OF CAUTION
    The full realization of the potential

    educational benefits of ICTs is not automatic. The effective integration of ICTs into the educational system requires

    suitable technology curriculum & pedagogy teacher competencies institutional readiness

    SOME OF THE CHALLENGES


    The effective integration of ICTs Technology accessible & suitable
    hardware computer labs, notebooks, computers software eg GSP, Mathematica etc

    Curriculum & pedagogy


    curriculum that emphasises technology

    Teacher competencies
    must provide teachers with technical support

    Institutional readiness
    policies & environment

    ICT IN MATHS ED: BENEFITS


    ICTs expand access to education
    Asynchronous learning not everything has to be

    done face-to-face; anytime, anywhere Access to remote learning resources the internet allows access to digital libraries, materials, researchers etc

    ICT IN MATHS ED: BENEFITS


    ICTs prepare students for the workplace
    Technological literacy pupils gain an important

    competitive edge in the modern world ICTs also promote other 21st century skills eg inventive thinking ie creative use of info, being responsible in using resources

    ICT IN MATHS ED: BENEFITS


    ICTs improve the quality of education
    Increases pupils motivation and engagement

    video clips, animation attract pupils Improves pupils basic skills teachers can use repetitive cycles & reinforcement Enhances quality of teacher training online tutorials for teachers, tele-conferencing etc are available

    ICT IN MATHS ED: BENEFITS


    Teachers can create student-centred learning

    environments easily
    Active learning use of charts and graphs to

    display collected data can enhance pupil inquiry, analysis and construction of knowledge Collaborative learning pupils work as teams & share info easily using computers Creative learning pupils can explore and find new or more creative solutions to a problem

    THE USES OF ICTs IN EDUCATION


    Computers and the internet
    Learning about computers and the internet Learning with computers and the internet Learning through computers and the internet Combines learning about computers and the internet and learning with computers and the internet Students do research online, download materials, present a powerpoint presentation and write up a report that may include (Excel) charts and calculations

    THE USES OF ICTs IN EDUCATION


    Computers and the

    internet are also used in distance education

    Malaysia UniTAR Asiaeuniversity

    ISSUES IN THE USE OF ICTs IN ED.


    Four important issues must be addressed

    when we use ICTs in education


    Does ICT-enhanced learning really work? Is it

    really effective? How much would ICTs in education cost? Is there equity of access to ICTs in education? Will it widen the economic, social and academic gap between sections of society? Are ICT-enhanced educational projects sustainable over the long term?

    ICTs IN ED: THE KEY CHALLENGES


    The challenges of educational policy and

    planning
    What are the implications for policy and planning?

    Do we have clear objectives, guidelines, targets and a time-frame for the ICT initiative?

    ICTs IN ED: THE KEY CHALLENGES


    The challenges of infrastructure
    What are the infrastructural requirements? Do we

    have sufficient bandwidth eg SchoolNet, KPMNet? Do we need more labs? Do all students have access to computers/notebooks?

    ICTs IN ED: THE KEY CHALLENGES


    The challenges of capacity building
    Do we have the teachers? Are our teachers competent in using computers /

    notebooks for teaching? What kinds of further training is required? What about our administrators?

    ICTs IN ED: THE KEY CHALLENGES


    The challenges of language and content
    Are our teachers and students sufficiently

    competent in the English language to access the resources on the web (80% in English)? How quickly can we develop locally meaningful content in BM? Who will be responsible (BTP) and how much will it cost?

    ICTs IN ED: THE KEY CHALLENGES


    The challenges of cost
    Can we afford it eg giving each teacher a

    computer? Will we be able to maintain the project eg repair costs/ Will the software need to be updated? How much will it cost to upgrade hardware and software in the future?
