3. Adopting 21
st
Century Curriculum Through SEA Digital Class
The use of ICT is an effort to overcoming geographical dificulties. Furthermore, the research will involve the use of an ICT- based learning management system that will allow speedy and eficient transmission of Science and Mathematics contents
and teaching-learning materials, thus overcoming geographical dificulty.
Project Plan
A. Preparation Phase 2015-2016 Year 1
Conduct Online Diagnostic Test: 2 schools of each country for year 5 and 8
Establishment Task Force of 21
st
Century Skill Technical DomainBoard of Academia consist
of IBSE and Mathematics expert and IT Experts from SEAMEO Member countries
Develop Social Learning Community System and Information Management System
Learning Resources Production and Translation Capacity Building Program Structures
Quality Assurance Formulation Regional Wide Assessment Instruments
Development B. Selected Field Trial : 20 schools, 100 teachers, 5600
grade 5 and grade 8 student Year 2
2016 Review implementation of selected ield trial
Piloting Phase 1: 220 schools, 1100 math and science teachers, 44000 grade 5 and 8 students
Year 3 2017
Review and prepare for implementation Piloting Phase 2: 440 schools, 1100 teachers
88000 grade 5 and 8 students, regional test Year 4
2018 Relections and feedback and preparation for
massive usages as an open learning sources --- Open Learning Sources Launched
In order to support the needs of the new paradigm happens in teaching and learning in the 21
st
century; SEAMOLEC, SEAMEO QITEP in Science, and SEAMEO QITEP in
Mathematics initiated and proposed program to Adopt 21
st
Century Curriculum through Southeast Asia Digital Class to nurturing and enhancing the quality of science and mathematics
education. The project will leverage on existing connectivity of schools and institutions in SEAMEO member countries.
The competencies expected to be obtained are as follows: a.
To adopt SEAMEO Education 7 priorities 2015-2035 in mathematics and science education sectors.
b. To foster genuine and sustained communication among class, schools, countries through adopting the
new approach and technique in delivering science and mathematics teaching mechanisms and process.
c. To promote student communication among SEAMEO member countries that provides opportunity to cultivate
mutual understanding, diversity awareness and forming a global citizenship.
d. To mobilize the potential of SEAMEO centers and sharing best practice among SEAMEO member countries
in education development.
Outputs
a. Adopt SEAMEO Education 7 priorities 2015-2016 in
mathematics and science; b. New approach and technique in teaching and learning
on Science and Mathematics; c. The establishment on student communication among
Southeast Asia member countries.
Implementation phase: a. 2015 - Diagnostic Test as base line study to mapping
student skill in Mathematics and Science and readiness for adopting 21
st
Century Skills. The targets are students year 5 and year 8 in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao,
Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Timor Leste, Vietnam;
b. 2016 - SEA Digital Class Piloting I as an intervention study to examine the effectiveness of teaching and
learning models delivery that accommodate the 21
st
Century Curriculum concepts and philosophy. Involving 10 Primary Schools and 10 Secondary Schools of each
member country that implement teaching model during 8 weeks periods;
c. 2017 - SEA Digital Class Piloting II as validation study to validate the model by involving 20 Primary
Schools and 20 Secondary Schools of each member country consist of previous 10 Primary Schools and 10
Secondary Schools as control;
d. 2017 - SEA Wide Assessment in Mathematics and Science to detect the standard minimum of competency
in region relate to the 21
st
Century Skills;
e. 2018 - SEA Community Learning System as open
sources is available.
SEAMEO Centers that expecting to be involved in the future
Development of SEA Digital Class Towards Education Excellence
This model is collaborative project among SEAMEO Centre, SEAMOLEC provides the delivery system through SEA Digital
Class, and other SEAMEO Centre provides the materials.
