It is expected that learners will be required to continue learning throughout
their lives in order to add to the quality of their own lives and the lives of
those with whom they engage.
Since teaching and learning are both on-going it
is likely to be worthwhile to adopt a systematic approach to their continuous
improvement:
- Schools, and school systems, want to provide improved educational
provision and services
- As professionals Teachers want to improve
their classroom practices and
- Ideally learners want to benefit by becoming better
learners
A Systems Approach to the above will
- Make the aims (purposes & outcomes) clear and shared
- Develop and maintain (exercise stewardship of) the infrastructure
that supports and enables successful endeavours
- Policies
- Facilities
- Equipment
- Organisation
- and so on
- Design the processes involved in order to help make the endeavour
easier and more successful
- Inputs
- Tasks & activities
- Outputs, eg, knowledge
- Promote the acquisition of the professional knowledge and skills required
to
- utilise the infrastructure
- and implement the the processes
- Attend to the culture which shape expectations, acceptable means
and values
From the observations made so far in this
project, the above seems to require simultaneous attention to the
use of ICT at three levels:
- The system and/or school in relation
to governance, infrastructure, staff competence and the application of ICT
- The class in relation to the teaching
and learning culture and processes
- The activities that involve the use
of ICT
Simultaneous attention to these three levels has
the aim of achieving alignment between the levels (more on system
alignment)
