Figure 1.1 Strategies for ICT Integration in Teacher Education

i. Providing adequate infrastructure and technical support

The success of the academic culture in the world of ICT needs the support of the
government specifically on the procurement of appropriate and quality learning
materials. An ICT expert is also an important factor in securing a quality technical
support for the existing ICT development in the academic field.

ii. Applying ICT in all subjects

With the evolving academic culture, the need to retool and update teachers and
learners is a must. The inclusion of ICT across all fields will at least help both teachers
and learners to update their existing knowledge in the course of technology.

iii. Applying new Pre-service teacher Education curriculum

The new Teacher Education curriculum which embodies the new learning culture
(with the infusion of ICT) seeks to introduce a learning set-up which is in accordance
to the evolving academic context. Teachers, on the first place, should seek for
continuous professional development and use this construct to get in sync with the
demands of the modern society.

iv. By using application software, using multimedia, Internet e-mail, communities,

understanding system software
The modern world creates inevitable changes which seeks the evolving academic
field to update and catch up. These modern trends create an avenue for the academic
field to meet and communicate to the demands of the academic world.

The support of the government to the drives on these modalities impose a great help to
augment the present educational stance of the nation. The unison of the state, the school,
and the society in pursuit to quality education is the challenge of ICT integration to the
educational system.

ISSUES AND DISCUSSIONS

Despite the availability of some materials, the government still have lags in providing the
quality equipment/tools/access to suffice the demands and trends of educational process.
Considerations and issues impose a great challenge as to the assessment of quality learning
and the delivery of quality instruction.

Moreover, considerations are also underscored to match the capability of the government
in the production of the said contexts into the educational needs. Digital divide, minority
language groups, and the students’ learning styles should also be considered—giving light
to the significance of UNIVERSALITY.

INCLUSIVENESS CONSIDERATIONS

Learners may have their gadgets but not all of them have
the same digital range. They may have internet access but
Digital not all of them have premium access. Institutions need to
divide
devise profiling of learners in relation to digital concerns to
address this.

Equal learning opportunity for learners is the main concern of this

consideration. Due to the present situation, it will be hard enough to
Minority reach out learners from their learning environment. Reaching them
language out (through modules maybe) will be of help especially when we
groups
devise our modules where we leave an area for them to state their
concerns, questions, etc.

Individualized learning activities, collaborative learning

Different
Learning opportunities, inquiry-based learning, and other related
Styles activities help a lot in addressing the varied learning
demands of our learners e.g. self-paced learning
package/module to help augment the learner’s needs.
