We conducted a randomized experiment targeting 322 Japanese high school students to examine the impacts of a newly developed English-language learning program. The treated students were offered an opportunity to communicate for 25 minutes with English-speaking Filipino teachers via Skype several times a week over a 5-month period as an extracurricular activity. The results show that the Skype program increased the interest of the treated students in an international vocation and in foreign affairs. However, the students did not improve their English communication abilities, as measured by standardized tests, probably because of the program's low utilization rate. Further investigation showed that the utilization rate was particularly low among students demonstrating a tendency to procrastinate. These results suggest the importance of maintaining students’ motivation to keep using such information and communication technology-assisted learning programs if they are not already incorporated into the existing curriculum. Having procrastinators self-regulate may be especially crucial.

The study was conducted focused on the utilization of Information and Communication Technology in Technical-Vocational Schools in Region V, Philippines, School Year 2011-2012. It determined the profile of teachers, adequacy of ICT equipment, competence of teachers and their relationships. The data were gathered through a questionnaire-checklist formulated by the researcher. The validity and reliability of the instrument were ensured. Findings revealed that the majority of the teachers are 26 years old and above. Three-fourths of them have attended a very minimal number (1-3 times) of ICT – related training. Eighty-four percent of the teachers have master’s degrees; fifty percent of them have served the government for more than 10 years; fifty-eight percent were occupying Teacher I position; twelve percentage designated to different administrative functions. There is fairly adequate ICT tools and equipment and the teachers are competent in working with word processors only. Furthermore, the age of teachers and the competences is significantly related to using ICT tools and equipment. The researcher concluded that there is a dearth of ICT-related training for teachers of all age levels and ICT tools and equipment should be procured to sustain the development of competence among teachers. It is recommended therefore to implement the proposed ICT development plan and the conduct of further research on the extent of utilization of ICT tools and equipment along the actual teaching-learning process.

Abstrak:Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) memberikan kontribusi yang positif terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik. Tidak ada yang mempermasalahkan pernyataan ini apabila TIK memang dimanfaatkan secara terencana, terpadu, dan teratur di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Sekalipun demikian, hasil penelitian atau kajian tentang pemanfaatan TIK hanya menitikberatkan pada pengaruh/dampak terhadap hasil prestasi belajar peserta didik; tetapi kurang menekankan pada tantangan-tantangan atau kesulitan-kesulitan guru dalam memanfaatkan TIK untuk pembelajaran. Dengan kata lain, apakah TIK di sekolah-sekolah sudah dimanfaatkan secara terencana, terintegrasi, dan teratur? Manakala jawabannya sudah, langkah-langkah apa yang telah dilakukan untuk memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran? Manakala jawabannya belum, faktor-faktor apa saja penyebabnya? Mengapa ada sebagian sekolah yang maju dalam pemanfaatan TIK-nya dan diikuti dengan peningkatan prestasi belajar peserta didiknya (TIK memberikan dampak positif)? Tentunya ada faktor-faktor tertentu, baik peluang, tantangan (kendala/hambatan),maupun harapan yang perlu diperhatikan manakala akan memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Masalah inilah yang menggugah penulis untuk melakukan kajian yang didasarkan pada berbagai referensi yang didukung hasil pengamatan dan diskusi terbatas dengan pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui berbagai peluang, tantangan, dan harapan di dalam pemanfaatan TIK untuk pembelajaran yang dapat dijadikan sebagai rujukan/acuan untuk memfasilitasi guru dalam melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran melalui pemanfaatan TIK.Kata-kata kunci: Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK), pembelajaran, prestasi belajarAbstract:Information and communication technology (ICT) gives positive contribution to the improvement of students learning achievement. No one will argue on this statement as long as ICT is appropriately utilized (well planned, integrated, and sustained) in the instructional activities. However, most research or studies on ICT utilization only focus more on the impact of students’ learning achievement and less on the challenges that teachers face in utilizing ICT in their teaching learning process. In other words, has ICT utilization in schools been well planned, integrated, and sustained? If the answer is “Yes”, what are the steps that have been taken to utilize ICT for learning? If the answer is “No”, what are the causes? Why are there some more developed schools in utilizing ICT and followed with improvement of their students’ learning achievement (ICT gives possitive impact)? It can be stated that there are some factors of opportunities, challenges, as well as hopes that need to be considered before or during utilizing ICT in teaching-learning process. This has attracted the author to conduct a study that is based on some references and supported by some observation and discussion with some teachers and educational personnels. The objective of this study is to know some opportunities, challenges, and hopes in ICT utilization for learning that can be used as references to facilitate teachers in utilizing ICT in their teaching-learning process.Keywords: Information and Communication Technology (ICT), learning, learning achievement
