LES on ICT in Education
Exploring Best ICT Practices in Singapore to Impact Teaching and Learning Outcomes
Summary of LES
Background
ICT use is an essential feature of Singapore education system as it
- supports the needs and well beings of different groups of students
- transforms and extends the way and context of student learning
- empowers teachers to learn and innovate adaptively with system support to meet challenges
Key Insights
Effective ICT interventions
- [Students] Leverage pedagogical practices and student learning supported with ICT
- [Teachers] Build teachers’ ICT capacity, TPACK skills and negotiation of challenges in their roles as implementers, co-designers and (co-)researchers
- Strengthen whole-school engagement and partnership with external stakeholders in the system ecology – supporting teachers’ ICT competence
Recommendations
ICT leaders are recommended to:
- Leverage social media for both cross-contextual learning and responsible online behaviours
- Promote situated-PD for nurturing analytical, reflective and adaptive teaching
- Create opportunities and allocate time for innovating ideas to solve teaching and learning problems with partnerships
- Build multi-level leadership capacity for coordinated organization, resource distribution, strategic PD planning and building culture of innovation
- Support multi-disciplinary research on future-ready smart learning environments with emerging technologies
- Understand and (re-)design “less formal” or “mixed-formality” ICT experiences for lifelong and self-directed learning
