Technology Education
2. Technology Education system need for
Philippines
 What is
Technology?
Technology
According to International Technology Education
Association’s :
It is the modification of the natural environment to satisfy
perceived human wants and needs” .
This modification of the natural environment (nature) may
be characterized as “human innovation in action.”

We describe technology as products and processes used to

simplify our daily lives. We use technology to extend
mankind’s abilities, making people the most crucial part of
any technological system.

“ADVANCING TECHNOLOGY”
Technology is dynamic; it keeps on improving
because our needs and demands for
technology keep on changing. We have
moved from the industrial age (industrial
revolution) to an information age.
We know that our world will be very different
10 or 20 years from now.
The study of technology that provides
technological literacy through
technology education will make a
manufacturing and construction
difference.

Technology
education
It is the study of technology, in which
students "learn about the processes and
knowledge related to technology". As a
field of study, it covers the human's ability
to shape and change the physical world to
meet needs, by manipulating materials
and tools with techniques needed to solve
problems (sometimes referred to as
technological studies)
Technology Education in the Philippines:
The Philippine Basic Education System is a system in crisis and the root of the
crisis is a combination of under-investment and poor management.

The problem of improving quality and broadening access, new challenges to

educational institutions have emerged within the context of globalization, the
rapid development of new digital technologies, and the transition to a
“knowledge-based economy”.
(National Framework Plan for ICTs in Basic Education (2005-2010) Harnessing ICTs for Quality Basic
Education for All)

The Philippines faces multiple global and local challenges which require
science, technology and innovation. These include:
•the intensifying competition from globalization and regional
integration;
•natural disasters, environmental degradation and climate change;
•and persistent poverty and increasing inequality.
Technology Education System Initiative in the Philippines:
Adaptation of Innovation in TVET programs
TVET institutions could be actors of innovation, bringing
new and better products, services, and processes for
partners and students for better and more efficient delivery
of tech-voc training and/or programs; and at the same time,
users of innovation, where they utilize the innovative
practices and products to operationalize TVET.

1. Reviewing and amending organizational operations

2. Reinventing products

3. Introducing a new methodology

TVET INITIATIVES
a) Initiative in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) through
utilizing different ICT materials could “create transformative changes in skills
development and TVET, going beyond the traditional view of ICT for increasing
access to education
b) Innovation in TVET products/ services through
implementation of “Skills for Innovation Hubs” of UNESCO-
UNEVOC and different TVET providers worldwide.
TESDA supported TWC being recognized as one of
the first i-hub implementers worldwide with the
intention of better addressing issues and challenges
of the current and future labor market of the
country.
Technology Education System Initiative in the Philippines:
c) Research Initiatives : The TESDA Develop the National TESD Research
Agenda (NTRA) which intends to provide overall direction in the pursuit of
research activities in aid of planning and policy decision making for the TVET
sector.
Technology researches focused on studying new, advance and emerging
technology that would eventually lead to innovation and development of
solutions that can aid TVET instructional delivery.
 Recommendation to Improve the Technology Education align with TVET:

System
• Intensified the engagement with other TVET players
• Support mechanisms empowering TVET actors, especially in training centers
Policy
• Implement TVET policies that support development of mechanisms identifying different TVET metrics
• Creation of Specific TVET legislations ensuring entrepreneurship practices in TVET programs

Institutional
• To come up with concrete action plans instituting efforts to innovate TVET programs, especially in training
institutions
• Considering the Human resource management innovation and enough capacity-building programs.
• Finding alternative funding sources and propagating a learner-center and practical learning environment
• The use of ICT
