KEY STANDARDS OF EPP

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION

TECHNOLOGY

A diverse set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store,

create, share or exchange information.
 ATTRIBUTES OF ICT IN TEACHING

a. AUTONOMY – the ability to work independently to manage

the learning process
– the state of being self-governing

b. CAPABILITY – to make the most of the digital technologies

available

c. CREATIVITY – developing new ideas, making connections,

making and creating collaborations
 BENEFITS OF USING ICT
IN EDUCATION

• Assist students in accessing digital information efficiently and

effectively.
• Support student-centered and self-directed learning.
• Produce a creative learning environment.
• Promote collaborative learning in a distance-learning environment.
• Offer more opportunities to develop critical (higher-order) thinking
skills.
• Improve teaching and learning quality.
• Support teaching by facilitating access to course content.

 INDUSTRIAL ARTS

• A subject taught in elementary and secondary schools

that aims at developing skills necessary for working
with tools and machines.
• Focuses on engine repair, heating and air-conditioning
systems, welding, or wood- and metal-working. They may
also teach robotics, computer technology, graphic
design, and/or computer-aided design (CAD)
• Industrial arts is an educational program that features the
fabrication of objects in wood or metal using a variety of
hand, power, or machine tools. Industrial Arts are
commonly referred to as Technology Education.
According to the American Council of Industrial Arts
Supervisors the objectives of industrial arts education are as
follows:
1. To develop in each student an insight and understanding
of industry and its place in our society.
2. To discover and develop student talents in
industrial/technical fields.
3. To develop problem-solving abilities related to the
materials, processes, and products of industry.
4. To develop in each student skill in the safe use of tools
and machines.
• The purpose of the industrial arts activities is to give
the student a background of our industrial society. Career
education plays an equally important role in the
educational process of the student. It involves the
student in everyday life decisions, and helps him to
become a better informed citizen in his community.
BENEFITS:
• Improve students understanding of the industrial world.
• Students lacking skill or desire to study math and science obtain
a career in industrial arts by learning a trade such as
mechanisms.
• People proficient in math and science study and out the
knowledge to use designing new products.
• Enables learners to use and understand the priorities of a wide
range of tools, machines, material and systems.
• Innovation opens up new doors for new businesses to exist
and contribute to the economy.
