MODULE 1 Learning Plans in the st Context of 21 Century Introduction The basic education curriculum of
the country was enhanced with the implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program
covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of elementary education, four years of
Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS] to provide sufficient time for mastery of
concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level
skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. The implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum
is expected to contribute to the country’s development in various forms. It is believed to be necessary to
improve the quality of our education which is critical to our progress as a nation. One of the features of
the K to 12 curriculum is the requirement to equip every graduate with the following skills:    
information, media and technology skills; learning and innovation skills; effective communication skills;
and life and career skills

The development of these skills can be done with the aid of technologies for teaching and learning
which is the focus of this course. This course aims to present activities that will prepare pre-service
teachers to integrate ICTs in the teaching-learning processes in the various fields of specialization. It
aims to help pre-service and in-service teachers to expand the boundaries of their creativity and that of
their students beyond the four walls of the classrooms. It aims to enable teachers to discover the power
of computer technologies as teaching tools for greater learning.

The K-12 Curriculum Framework The implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum of the Department of
Education paved the way for the enhancement of the Teacher Education Curriculum of the Commission
on Higher Education (CHED). The salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum have been thoroughly
considered to ensure that all courses in the teacher education program will meet the demands of the
21st century classrooms. One of the considerations is the need to implement the following features of
the curriculum through integrating technologies for teaching and learning. The use of technologies is
done in the different levels of learning and in the various fields of specialization. 1. Strengthening Early
Childhood Education (Universal Kindergarten) With the Universal Kindergarten program of the
Department, every Filipino child is expected to have access to early childhood education. This access can
be facilitated using technological tools that are readily available to the school for teachers’ use. 2.
Making the Curriculum Relevant to Relevant to Learners (Contextualization and Enhancement) Research
shows that learners will value a curriculum that is relevant to their lives. Sara Bernard (2010) stressed
that students need to have a personal connection to a lesson material that can be done through
engaging them emotionally or through connecting the information with that which they already know.
Briggs (2014) shared some few tips for making learning engaging and personally relevant as cited by
Willis, Faeth, and Immordino-Yang: Use suspense and keep it fresh – Drop hints about a new learning
unit before you reveal what it might be, leave gaping pauses in your speech, change seating
arrangements, and put up new and relevant posters or displays; all these can activate emotional signals
and keep student interest piqued.

Make it student-directed – Give students a choice of assignments on a topic or ask them to design one
of their own.

Connect to their lives and to what they already know – Taking the time to brainstorm about what
students already know and would like to learn about a topic helps them to create goals. This also help
teachers see the best points of departure for new ideas.

Provide utility value – Utility value provides relevance first by piquing students and by telling them the
content is important to their future

goals; it then continues by showing or explaining how the content fits into their plans in the future.


Build relatedness – Relatedness on the other hand, answers the question, “What have these to do with
me?”. Relatedness is seen by many as having non-academic and academic sides.

To be able to apply the tips recommended by various experts and to allow students to realize the value
of their curriculum, technological tools can be used. 21 st century learners are expected to be
demonstrating 21st century competencies such as collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, and
problem solving to be able to thrive in this world (Rich, 2014). Contextualizing the curriculum of the
students for meaningful learning poses challenges in enhancing teachers’ pedagogical skills as well as
technological skills. 3. Building Proficiency (Mother-tongue Based Multilingual Education) To be able to
promote the child’s dominant language and to use it as a language instruction, maximum use of
technological tools is highly encouraged. Currently, a lot of teachers and schools are into developing
learning materials to be able to implement the MTB-MLE program properly especially that there is a
dearth of printed and e-materials in the mother-tongue of students. 4. Ensuring Integrated and
Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression) Learning basic concepts that lead to a more complex and
sophisticated version of the general concepts entail TPACK: Technological knowledge, pedagogical
knowledge, and content knowledge. Rediscovering concepts previously presented as students go up in
grade level will be fully supported if all the areas of specialization will be aided by technologies for
teaching and learning. 5. Gearing Up for the Future The K to 12 Curriculum ensure college readiness by
aligning the core and applied courses to the College Readiness Standards (CRS) and the new General
Education (GE) Curriculum. 6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and Livelihood
readiness, 21st Century Skills) To nurture holistically developed Filipino, every K to 12 graduate is
expected to be ready to go into different paths- higher education, employment, or entrepreneurship.

ICT- Pedagogy Integration in Learning Plans Teaching has always been a challenging profession since
knowledge has been expanding and essential skills have been increasing and changing. With these
challenges, teachers need to engage educational technologies to assist them in the teaching-learning
process. Engaging educational technologies in teaching are founded on principles and philosophies.
Understanding these will help you successfully integrate technologies to allow your students to
demonstrate the intended learning outcomes of your field of specialization. Integrating Technology in
Instruction 1. John Pisapia (1994) Integrating technology with teaching means the use of learning
technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement, and extend skills. 2. International Society for
Technology in Education (ISTE) Effective integration of technology is achieved when students can select
technology tools to help them obtain information and present it professionally. The technology should
become an integral part of how the classroom functions- as accessible as all other classroom tools. 3.
Margaret Lloyd (2005) ICT integration encompasses an integral part of broader curriculum reforms
which include both infrastructural as well as pedagogical considerations that are changing not only how
learning occurs but what is learned. 4. Qiyun Wang and Huay Lit Woo (2007) ICT integration can happen
in three different areas: curriculum, topic, and lesson. 5. Bernard Bahati (2010) The process of
integrating ICT in teaching and learning must be done at both pedagogical and technological levels with
much emphasis of pedagogy. 6. UNESCO (2005) ICT integration is not merely mastering the hardware
and software skills. Teachers need to realize how to organize the classroom to structure the learning
tasks. Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

The following are the definitions of ICT from various sources.

Module 1 – Learning Plans in the Context of the 21st Century MUCabuenos

1. Moursund (2005) ICT includes all the full range of computer hardware, computer software. And
telecommunications facilities. It also includes computerized machinery and computerized robots. 2.
Tinio (2009) ICT is a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, create,
disseminate, store, and manage information. These technologies include hardware devices, software
applications, internet connectivity, broadcasting technologies, and telephony. 3. UNESCO (2020) It (ICT)
is a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store, create, share, or exchange
information. UNESCO defines it also as a scientific, technological, and engineering discipline and
management technique. ICT also refers to handling information, its application, and association with
social, economic, and cultural matters. 4. Ratheeswari (2018) Information Communication Technologies
(ICT) influence every aspect of human life. They play salient roles in workplaces, in business, education,
and entertainment. In this digital era, ICT is important in the classroom for giving students opportunities
to learn and apply the required the required 21st Century skills. ICT helps a teacher to present his/her
lessons attractively and enables learners to learn at any level of educational program.
