HANDOUT(s)

After learning fundamental concepts about the curriculum-its nature and development, comes
the practical phase of curriculum implementation. Appropriately, the significance of technology
in curriculum development deserves discussion
The role of technology in the curriculum springs from the very vision of the e-Philippine plan
(e stands for electronic). Thus it is stated: "an electronically enabled society where all citizens
live in an environment that provides quality education, efficient government services, greater
sources of livelihood and ultimately a better way of life through enhanced access to
appropriate technologies." (International workshop on emerging technologies, Thailand,
December 14-16 2005). This points to the need for an e-curriculum, or a curriculum which
delivers learning consonant with the Information Technology and Communications Technology
(ICT) revolution. This framework presupposes that curriculum delivery adopts ICT as important
tool in education while users implement teaching-learning strategies that conform to the digital
environment. Following a prototype outcomes-based syllabus, this same concept is brought
about through a vision for teachers to be providers of relevant, dynamic and excellent education
programs in a post-industrial and technological Philippine society. Thus among educational goals
desired for achievement is the honing of competencies and skills of a new breed of students, now
better referred to as a generation competent in literacies to the 3 Rs (or reading, 'riting and
'rithmetic) but influences, more particularly: problem-solving fluency, information access and
retrieval of texts/images/sound/vide fluency, social networking fluency, medica fluence, and
digital creativity fluency
Instructional media may also be referred to as media technology or learning technology,
or simply technology, Technology plays a crucial role in delivering instruction to learners.
Technology offers various tools of learning and these range from non-projected and
projected media from which the teacher can choose, depending on what he sees fit with the
intended instructional setting For example, will a chalkboard presentation be sufficient in
illustrating a mathematical procedure; will a video clip be needed for motivating learners?
In the process, what ensues is objective-matching where the teacher decides on what
media or technology to use to help achieve the set learning objectives.
Non-projected Media Projected Media
Real Objects Overhead transparencies
Models Opaque projection
Field Trips Slides
Kits Filmstrips
Printed Materials (books, worksheets) Films
Visuals (drawings, photographs, graphs, Video, VCD, DVD
charts, posters) Computer/ multimedia presentations
Visual boards (chalkboards, white boards,
flannel boards etc.)
Audio Materials

Table 1. Types of Instructional Media/ Technology

Factors in Technology Selection

In deciding on which technology to use from a wide range of media available, the factors
on which to base selection are:
1. Practicality. Is the equipment (hardware) or already prepared lesson material (software)
available? If not, what would be the cost in acquiring the equipment or producing the lesson in
audial or visual form?
2. Appropriateness in relation to the learners. Is the medium suitable to the learners’ ability to
comprehend? Will the medium be a source of plain amusement or entertainment, but not
learning?
3. Activity/ suitability. Will the chosen media fit the set instructional event, resulting in either
information, motivation or psychomotor display?
4 Objective-matching. Overall, does the medium help in achieving the learning objective(s)?

The Role of Technology in Curriculum Delivery

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
But presently, we can identity 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 turn 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.
For now, 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.
 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.
 Revolutionizing the use of technology to boost educational paradigm shifts that give
importance to student-centered and holistic learning.
