Revitalizing Teacher Training by Integrating Technology and Pedagogy
[7.5.2003 | Bangkok]
Revitalizing Teacher Training by Integrating Technology and Pedagogy 27-06-2003 (UNESCO Bangkok)
A meeting bringing together leading experts in the Asia-Pacific region in technology-enhanced teacher training for enriched classroom learning, an experts? meeting on teacher training in technology-pedagogy integration was held from 18 ? 20 June 2003 in Bangkok, Thailand. It was organized by the Asia Pacific Programme of Educational Innovation for Development (APEID) based in the UNESCO Bangkok office.
The meeting kick-started the newly approved project on "Training and Professional Development of Teachers and Other Facilitators for Effective Use of ICTs in Improving Teaching and Learning", which is run under a Japanese Funds-in-Trust programme to promote the use of ICTs for expanded access to quality education for all.
The project will focus on professional development, building on the capacities of teachers, policy-makers, school headmasters, technology supporters and providers, amongst others. It will attempt to find alternative strategies in integrating ICTs in the teaching-learning processes and at tapping the potential of ICTs to enrich learning through new technologies within a world in transformation.
Launching this project into action, the Expert?s Meeting reviewed the regional/international situation and existing resources, identified priorities and strategies according to the specific needs of the countries, while formulating guidelines and a conceptual framework for infusing technology within the training modules and educational software that will be developed.
