Technology plays a crucial role in delivering instruction to leaners Technology offer tools of learning and these range from non-projected and projected media from which the teacher can chase, depending on what he sees fit with the intended instructional setting. Factors in Technology Selection 1. Practicality is the equipment (hardware) or already prepared lesson material software available? If not, what would be the coat in acquiring the equipment of producing the lesson in audial or visual form? 2. Appropriateness in relation to the leaners Is the medium suitable to the leaners ability to comprehend? Will me medium be a source of plain amusement or entertainment, but not learning? 3.

Boton It can easily be observed that technological innovation in the multifarious fields of commerce, science and education, is fast developing such that it is difficult to foresee the technological revolution in the millennium, inclusive of educational changes. For certain however, technological changes in education will make its impact on the delivery of more effective, efficient and humanizing teaching-and-learning. THREE CURRENT TRENDS THAT COULD CARRY ON TO THE NATURE OF EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE. The first trend is the paradigm shift from teacher-centered to student- centered approach to learning. The second is the broadening realization that education is not simply a delivery of facts and information, but an educative process of cultivating the cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and much more the contemplative intelligence of the learners of a new age. But the third and possibly the more explosive trend is the increase in the use of new information and communication technology or ICT. Already at the tum of the past century, ICT, in its various forms and manifestations has made its increasing influence on education, and the trend is expected to speed up even more rapidly. Propelling this brisk development is the spread of the use of the computer and the availability of desktop micro-computers affordable not only to cottage industries, businesses, and homes but also to schools. THE PRIMARY ROLES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN DELIVERING THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM'S INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: Upgrading the quality of teaching- and-learning in schools Increasing the capability of the teacher to effectively inculcate learning, and for students to gain mastery of lessons and courses THE PRIMARY ROLES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN DELIVERING THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM'S INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: Broadening the delivery of education outside schools through non-traditional approaches to formal and informal learning, such as Open Universities and lifelong learning to adult learners THE PRIMARY ROLES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN DELIVERING THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM'S INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: Revolutionizing the use of technology to boost educational paradigm shifts that give importance to student- centered and holistic learning. THANK YOU I hope you can get useful knowledge from this presentation. Good luck ! Lesson 13: Stakeholders in Curriculum Implementation Discussant: Amanda Cicat 1. Learners are at the core of the curriculum. The traditional view of students as mere recipients of curriculum is changing, with more dynamic participation in planning, designing, implementing, and evaluating. Learners make the curriculum alive. They can significantly impact curriculum implementation, as they work with teachers to put action to the curriculum. 2. Teachers are curricularists The most important person in curriculum implementation is the teacher. Teachers are stakeholders who plan, design, teach, implement and evaluate the curriculum. Teachers should have full knowledge of the program philosophy, content and components of curriculum and ways of teaching. A teacher designs, enriches and modifies the curriculum to suit the learners' characteristics. When a curriculum has already been written, the teacher's role is to implement it like a technician, however, teachers are reflective persons. They put their hearts into what they do. They are very mindful that in the center of everything they do, is the learner. Some of the roles that the teachers do in curriculum implementation are: 1. Guiding, facilitation and directing the activities of the learners; 2. Choosing the activities and the methods to be utilized; 3. Choosing the materials that are necessary for the activity; 4. Evaluating the whole implementation process; and 5. Making decisions whether to continue, modify or terminate the curriculum. 3. School leaders are curriculum managers Principals and school heads, too, have important roles in curriculum implementation process in schools. They should have be ready to assist the teachers and the students in the implementation. Communication line should be open to all concerned should the school leaders lead in curriculum teamwork. Convincing the parents on the merits of the new curriculum is the job of the school heads. They should be committed to change and school employ strategies to meet the needs of the teachers and learners like building, books, library and other needed resources. Thank you STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION 4.PARENTS Parents are significant school partners and play an important role in curriculum implementation. Schools engage parents through activities like Brigada Eskwela and co-curricular involvement. Parents who are positively involved in school activities contribute to better achievement and 1 student motivation. 5.COMMUNITY AD CURRICULUM RESOURCES AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT It takes the whole village to educate the child." is an African proverb as mentioned by former US first lady Hilary Clinton. 1 5.COMMUNITY AD CURRICULUM RESOURCES AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT School is in the community, hence the community is the extended school ground, a learning environment. The community is the reflection of the school's influence and the school is a reflection of the community support. 1 6.OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT 6.1 - GOVERNMENT AGENCIES: DepEd. TESDA, CHED - trifocalized agencies that have regolatory and mandatory authorities over the implementation of the curricula Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and Civil Service Commission (CSC) -the agency that certifies and issues teacher licenses to qualify one to teach and affirms and confirms the appointment of teachers in the public 1 schools. 6.OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT 6.1 - GOVERNMENT AGENCIES: Local Government Unit (LGU) -include the municipal government officials and the barangay officials. Some of the teachers are paid through the budget of the LGUs. They also construct school buildings, provide equipment, support the professional development of teachers and provide school supplies and books. They are the big supporters in the implementation of a school curriculum. 1 6.OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT 6.2 NON-GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS Gawad Kalinga (GK) -to build communities means include education. The full support of GK in early childhood education is very significant. In each village, a school for pre- school children and out-of-school youth have been established. Synergia- an organization/foundation that supports basic education to elevate education through Reading. Science. 1 Mathematics and English. 6.OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT 6.2 NON-GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS Metrobank Foundation-supports continuing teacher development programs. Professional Organizations like Philippine Association for Teachers and Educators (PAFTE), State Universities and Colleges Teacher Educators Association (SUCTEA), National Organization of Science Teachers and Educators (NOSTE), Mathematics Teachers Association of the Philippines (MTAP) 1 and many more. A school curriculum, whether big or small is influenced by many stakeholders. Each one has a contribution and influence in what should replace, modify and substitute the current curriculum. Each one has a significant mark in specific development and change process of curriculum development. 2 THANK YOU
