Abstract

ABSTRACT: Education at all levels is an avenue for economic, political, social, and cultural mobility. The Education for All movement, having the education for all and millennium development goals, has the ultimate aim of sustainable development. Hence, teachers and students are some of the keys to achieve the vision of K (Kindergarten) to 12 years education program from the Department of Education in the Philippines. This descriptive study sets out an initial attempt to investigate teachers and students’ knowledge, observations, beliefs on the benefits, and the potential threats in the implementation of grades 7 and 8 Mathematics program. From 29 selected high schools in the province of Isabela, a total of 60 Math teachers and 265 randomly selected grades 7 and 8 students participated in the study during November 2013 to May 2014. A 4-point Likert questionnaire consisting of impact statements was prepared, developed, thematically analyzed and validated. Findings revealed that Math teachers and students have equally agreed on dimensions knowledge, observations, and benefits. Teachers claimed greater potential threats of the program than students. Students and teachers’ knowledge about the program largely influences its level of implementation. The result of this study points out two relevant directions: firstly, the need for program’s regular monitoring and continuous professional training to enhance students and teachers’ understanding of the K-12 Mathematics program; and, secondly, the need to conduct related studies, explore factors of K-12 program implementation through exploratory factor analyses, and relate it to national performance through path analyses.KEY WORDS: Education for All; Knowledge, Observations, Benefits, and Potential Threats; K-12 Math Program; Level of Implementation; National Performance.===About the Author: Roldan S.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Teaching nowadays is fast expanding rapidly and it requires modern technologies to provide more flexible and effective ways of improving teacher education, and connecting teachers to the global community. ICT (Information and Communication Technology) integration into teacher education, therefore, is the key to equipping and producing professional teachers as well as improved pedagogy. However, there is the need to consider the type and nature of teacher trainees before integrating ICT in teacher education programmes, because their perceptions are likely to differ. This study, therefore, focuses on the perceptions of teacher trainees (regular and sandwich students) regarding the integration of ICT in teacher education programme at the UNILAG (University of Lagos) in Akoka, Nigeria. It adopted the descriptive research design. Two hundred and fifty participants were involved. One research question and two hypotheses, based on the specific purposes, were raised and answered in the study. A self-constructed validated and reliable instrument was used to collect data. Results revealed that teacher trainees are favourably disposed to the integration of ICT into teacher education as indicated by the grand mean and standard deviation (M = 3.22; SD = 12.22). Significant differences in the perceptions of teacher-trainees regarding the integration of ICT in teacher education programme based on type of the programme was also discovered (t-cal = -2.315; df = 98; P < .05). Teacher-trainees have to realise that ICT has come to stay in their programme. They need to develop more confidence in their individual ability at becoming computer literate teachers in order to remain relevant in the modern day information age.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The curriculum is a set of plans and arrangements concerning objectives, content and instructional materials, and ways used as guidelines for the implementation of learning activities to achieve certain educational goals. The purpose of Indonesian national education is to develop the potential of learners to become human beings, who believe and fear to Allah as One God, have a noble character, healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent, and become a democratic and responsible citizen. Indonesia has incorporated Civic Education programs in the school curriculum about a decade after the proclamation of independence in August 1945. This article, by using the qualitative method and descriptive approach, tries to explore the curriculum and Civic Education teaching in Indonesia. The findings show that more than half a century of educational education, even at all levels of education from elementary, secondary to higher education, still leaves the general and classical issues of low levels of political literate, moreover to achieve the goal of creating intelligent and skilled Indonesian citizens. Political literacy is not only political knowledge, but the ability of citizens who qualified both in aspects of knowledge, skills, and values and attitudes. In learning of Civic Education, teachers are required to develop an interesting learning process, fun, challenging, and forming learners to be able to think critically and constructively. Civics teachers should be able to present contextual learning materials, relate subject matter with real conditions in the field, set theory with practice, between expectations and reality, identify problems, and encourage learners to come up with alternative problem solving.KEY WORDS: Curriculum Development; Teaching-Learning Process; Social Life; Citizenship Education; Teachers of Civics Education.About the Author: Prof. Dr. Haji Endang Komara is a Full Professor in Sociology of Education and as Head of STKIP (College of Education and Teacher Training) Pasundan in Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia.
