Education in the New Milieu

In formation in the New Milieu•Technology has allowed individuals to obtain, assemble, analyze and communicate information in more detail at a much faster pace than ever before.

•To help all learners acquire higher-level skills that allow them to more readily analyze, make decisions and solve complex "real-world" problems.

For the students A shift from:* Passively waiting for teacher to give directs and information.

A shift to:* Actively searching for needed information and learning experiences, determining what is needed, and seeking ways to attained it.

A shift from:- Always following given procedures

A shift to:- desiring to explore, discover, and create unique solutions to learning problems.

For the TeacherA shift from:- Always being viewed as the content expert and source for all of the answer

A shift to:- Directing students through preset step-by-step exercise so that all achieve similar conclusions

A shift to:- Actively encouraging individuals to use their personal knowledge and skills to create unique solutions to problems

ICT- more than New Technology

•Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education consist of hardware, software, network media for the collection, storage, processing, transmission and presentation of information, as well as related services.

•ICT has become a personalized commodity and the environment we are operating in is more based on information and communication-technology.

•ICT has been driving force foe globalizaztion, but it has also divided the world into those who have and those who have not, information rich and information poor.

•This development can be seen as an explicitly development and policy-based approach at different levels of the education system.

This are the approaches;•Equit of acces•Curriculum relevance in technology

•Methodological development in technology

•Cultural sensitivity

Accoding to Alasuutari and Ruuska (1999)- These global processes can be understood only for the co-existence of the uncontrollable economic development, it's cultural consequences and the policy-based development related to these phenomena.

How does ICT in education Initiatives

Contribute to the Millenium

Development Goals?

• Increasing access through distance

learning.

• Enabling a knowledge network

for students

•Training teachers

•Broadening the availability of

quality education materials.

•Enhancing the efficiency and

effectiveness of educational

administrational and policy.

The Global CurriculumTeachers and students

exploring the internet's educational possibilities and termed "internauts" trailblazers and this new education frontier nor limited by distance or national boundaries.

What are some the options

open to today's internauts?

The global village created by the internet is real, but the content of it's curriculum is

still being shaped. If you were to design a

"Curiculum for the World"what issues, concepts, and skills would you include?

•The rate of technological innovation is so fast that even as today's applications are being disseminated, newer ones are being tested.

What do you say about the use of

computers in education?

•Teach more effectively•Reach and teach more students

•Make the world our classroom•Turn latchkey kids into connected kids

•Get ready for the future.

Computers in education enable us to:

Computers in Education disable us because:

•Effective teaching all but disappears

•The digital world remains divided

•Student risk becoming antisocial

•Computers are a health risk

•Fundamental skills are sidelined

How will the predicted changes affect education and schooling in

the future?

Education is a complex, social, cultural, and political phenomenon.

While it is relatively simple to predict that present

technological trends will one day result in a

computer capable of responding to human vocal

commands, it is far less certain how, if at all such development may impact

the education.

The following are some of the possible outcomes of the process of change:

* Multimedia learning resources available via information networks, will proliferate and become an essential feature of education.

• Learners and teachers alike will have access to powerful potable computing devices that will be wirelessly connected to network resources.

• Learning increasingly will take place in authentic contexts and focus on authentic tasks.

• Students will become active learners, collaborating with one another and with more experienced members of society, to seek out information and gain more knowlegde.

• Teachers' roles will tend to shift from the "sage on the stage" to the "guide on the side."

• Education will become a lifelong process, important and accessible to all, and schools will become centers of learning - not just for children, but for all members of the community.

• The artificial ivisions of grade levels will disappear.

• The boundaries separating schools from each other and the community will blur or disappear.

Education and Industry

"Jobs and skills should match." One of the derrents in finding a job is the mismatch of skills possessed by the graduates and the requirements of the job.

To solve the problem in mismatch in skills and the requirements of the jobs.

Executive order creating a new path called LADDERIZED SYSTEM OF EDUCATION and TRAINING, converging the TVET system of Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Higher Education Programs of the Commission on Higher Education.

The basic features of the system are as follows:

•students and trainees acquire technical and vocationa skills

•after the training the graduates apply for jobs and get employed

•when they decide later to continue thier studies to earn a college degree.

• One of the outstanding features of the ladderized system is the portability of credits earned in a TESDA registered program to a college graduates who will enroll in a related TVET program will earn the equivalent credits.

• This innovation program of partnering for jobs is perhaps the solution to the problem of mismatch in the competencies and skills of graduates and the requirements of employers.
