The study delves on the factors and barriers that contribute to the success and failure of ICT integration in Philippine public basic schools. The country is currently undergoing a major reform in its education system, from a K-10 system to a K-12 one encompassing an ICT module. Our case study, San Isidro, Davao Oriental is a partially rural region in the southern island of Mindanao that could be representative of a larger demographic. Exploratory mixed methods design was utilized to answer these questions. An ICT integration self-assessment matrix was constructed on the basis of previous research from UNESCO, The World Bank, OECD, among others. These standards for success were translated into a survey questionnaire distributed among the 21 schools in the municipality. Purposive sampling of schools was pooled for interview and detailed questioning, along with additional field observations. Findings show that human factors such as leadership and teacher motivation are key in realization of these goals. Faculty activity for any such venture, such as ICT integration and innovative pedagogy, is likely limited by the basic infrastructure available within campus grounds. However, as people have the capacity to go above and beyond limitations, it is possible to transcend these limitations and progress towards innovative pedagogy and consequently the next stage in integration.

Station rotation model has recently become a promising innovation in education in which learners lead to deeper learning and problem-solving development (Jones, 2018). The study determined the effectiveness of station rotation model with ICT integration to enhance the problem solving skill of ninth grade students of ARMM Regional Science High School during five weeks of intervention. The data of this study were obtained from the pre-test and post-test with open-ended questions from Control and Experimental Groups. These tests were administered before and after the intervention and scored using rubric. Moreover, attitude test was answered by the students to provide feedbacks on the use of station rotation model with ICT integration. Results revealed that there is no significant difference in the post-test performances under the Control Group (K-12 teaching instruction) and the Experimental Group (SRM with ICT Integration), t (25) =-1.324, p=.197. At the end of the study, experimental group under station rotation model with ICT integration does not significantly enhance students’ problem solving skill in Physics.

With the rapid development of ICT and its ramification in our world, especially education, can we envision how education will look like in the future, especially in Indonesia, and in the teaching and learning of mathematics? Employing Zappa’s Envisioning the Future of Educational Technology (2013) and NMC Horizon Report (2014) K-12 Edition, this paper will reflect on the effort of ICT integration in teaching and learning, especially in the teaching and learning of mathematics, in Indonesia. Taking stock of the existing Government’s policy on ICT and ICT in Education, also of the facts and figures of Indonesia’s ICT profile, this paper discusses initiatives, practices, and studies of ICT in Education, integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of mathematics, what technology and how to integrate in the teaching and learning of mathematics, and some future prediction on the evolution of teaching and learning due to emerging technologies.

Technology is known as part of tools in society and technology in education is the foundation for countries to improve students’ academic interests at K-12 schools. The research is to explore the teachers’ perception about factors Influencing ICT Integration in teaching and learning and students’ interest in lesson. The purpose of this study is to overview on the secondary school teacher’s perceptions on the practices of ICT usage in teaching and learning and the level of students’ interest in lesson. Better curriculum will be developed based on the teaching and learning using ICT. These researches were conducted in Selangor by using quantitative research method which is distributing questionnaire. The total respondent of teachers of this study is 150 teachers, who are teaching in secondary schools in the Klang district. Survey questionnaire was used as a main tool for data collecting. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between teachers’ ICT integration in teaching and learning and students’ ICT integration in learning, with the significant level of 0.01.

The major role of ICT tools is a means to communicate and collaborate in a globalized, technological world in the knowledge society. In education, the role of ICT is paramount, especially for supporting teachers in ICT integrated teaching. However, little research has been conducted particularly in Asia-Pacific, on the interaction between teachers and ICT integration influenced by their school’s stakeholder, which lead to successful implementation among teachers in teaching. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the challenges faced by teachers to ICT tools and how the schools' leaders and schools' stakeholders overcome these challenges. By employing a qualitative research methodology, data were collected using a multi-method of data collection, including in-depth interviews, non-participants observations, field notes, and document analysis. The findings uncovered three themes for existing challenges and overcoming challenges. Three themes for the challenges are the inadequate schools’ ICT tools, failure to commit to the schools’ regulations, and failure to comply with the schools’ regulations. The three themes for overcome challenges are assisted performance, sharing ideas, and distributed leadership style. This study can be an exemplar for other schools in strategizing ICT integration for teachers in teaching.

Little is known about the research characteristics of past women studies in engineering education. In order to add knowledge base about the advanced development of women studies in current engineering education research, the purpose of the study is to investigate research characteristics of past women studies published in three referred engineering education journals from 2000 to 2009 and to propose specific research patterns for engineering educators. This study adopts a four-stage model of content analysis to analyze the collected data. The model contains four major research procedures, including sampling, conceptualization, operationalization, and coding verification. The findings show that the research patterns of past women studies are: (1) The number of annual publication for women studies is limited; (2) Few scholars from South America and Asia-Pacific engage in women studies; (3) Mixed-methods methodology is the less used research design in women studies; (4) Female engineering faculty and K-12 female students are not focuses for engineering educators; (5) Researchers tend to focus on general engineering; and (6) The current trend of research topic centers on female college engineering students’ learning experiences. The research patterns serve as research guidelines for engineering educators who try to explore women issues in engineering education. It is expected that future studies may fill the identified research gaps. Additional in-depth discussion of women studies may be increased as a result of this research.
