UNIT 4 - Evaluating ICT Tools and Resources

How to ensure relevance and appropriateness of IMs and ICT tools in teaching and learning Mathematics (Essay)      The integration of instructional materials (IMs) and information and communication technology (ICT) tools has played a critical role in the evolution of teaching and learning mathematics in recent years. The use of IMs and ICT tools can increase student engagement, promote active learning, and aid in the comprehension of mathematical concepts. However, ensuring that these resources are relevant and appropriate is critical to maximizing their effectiveness.       Aligning IMs and ICT tools with curriculum standards is the first step in ensuring their relevance and appropriateness. Mathematical concepts and skills should be clearly linked to the curriculum's learning objectives and content. When selecting IMs and ICT tools, it is critical to consider students' diverse needs and interests in order to increase their engagement and motivation. Different learners have d

IMs and Technology Tools Used in Teaching and Learning Geometry       Technology has been used in everyday life during the fourth industrial revolution. Technology has also been used in the teaching of mathematics in junior high school. Even though its use in the classroom is still limited, some teachers can already use technology as a media. According to some researchers, the use of technology-based learning media is limited (Amir & Zari, 2018).      Technology is extremely beneficial to math learning. The use of technology in the form of instructional media has a positive impact on the cognitive and affective development of students. The teacher can use technology to help students develop a positive attitude toward mathematics (Lu'luilmaknun et al., 2021).     Some IMs and technology tools used in teaching and learning geometry according to Lolli (2012): 1.

UNIT 2 - Developing Project-Based, ICT-Integrated Learning Plan

1. How to Integrate ICT and Project-based Learning Approach in a Math Learning Plan      As teachers strive to prepare students for the twenty-first century, technology has become an integral part of education. Technology is a necessary tool for education to be relevant, productive, progressive, and proficient (Abbas, Lai-Mei, Ismail, 2013). The foundation of problem-based learning (PBL) is meaningful and experiential situations. PBL teaches students by solving problems, becoming active learners, situating them in real-world problems, and empowering them to direct their own learning paths (Hmelo-Silver, 2004). "Millennial students can benefit from this approach as they work collaboratively, construct integrated knowledge, develop problem-solving skills, experience self-directed learning, and become intrinsically motivated," say modern educators (Matthews & Dworatzek, 2012, as cited in Green, 2018).      In problem-based learning, the teacher serves as a facilitator of stu

What is ICT?      According to UNESCO Institue of Statistics (2009),  Information and Communication technology (ICT) refers to all the technology used to handle telecommunications, broadcast media, intelligent building management systems, audiovisual processing and transmission systems, and network-based control and monitoring functions.      In its most basic form, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) refers to a set of technologies that facilitate communication. ICT is frequently used to describe the convergence of multiple technologies, as well as the use of common transmission lines and communication formats to transfer various data types (Market Prospects, 2022).
