INTRODUCTION

Online Encyclopedia Britanica defines technology as “…the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.

It went on to narrate that it is

“ …the development over time of systematic techniques for making and doing things. The term technology, a combination of the Greek technē, “art, craft,” with logos, “word, speech,” meant in Greece a discourse on the arts, both fine and applied. When it first appeared in English in the 17th century, it was used to mean a discussion of the applied arts only, and gradually these “arts” themselves came to be the object of the designation. By the early 20th century, the term embraced a growing range of means, processes, and ideas in addition to tools and machines. By mid-century, technology was defined by such phrases as “the means or activity by which man seeks to change or manipulate his environment.” Even such broad definitions have been criticized by observers who point out the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between scientific inquiry and technological activity.

In our time, this “… application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life…” is immediately associated with new equipment, and in the field of education these pieces of equipment necessarily include computers. Computers have become necessities in facilitating the acquisition of skills and competencies in schools. The City Schools Division of Pagadian being an integral unit of the Department of Education has been optimizing the benefits of the Department Computerization Program (DCP).

I. THE SCHOOLS DIVISION TECHNOLOGY PLAN

whiteboardPackage b = 1 host PC server, 6 thin clientsand,

1 projector, 1 laptop and projectorPackage c = 11 sets of computers, internet

connection accessories

Package d = Secondary E-Classroom package – 6 host

PCs with 42 access terminalsB-2. Recipient Schools Counterpart:

1. Multi-media classroom 6. 50 pieces mono-block chair2. Computer tables 7. Air-condition, or proportionate

units 3. Windows and doors with grills of electric fans4. Proper electrical wiring and 8. Sufficient electric lighting outlets duly certified by Municipal/City Electrician5. Provision of appropriate security mechanism

As of 2013, 27 elementary schools had received the DCP computerization packages: 21 received package a and 6 received package b. Eight (8) will receive package a by the first quarter of 2014.

Two secondary schools received packages c and d. Six will receive package d by the first quarter of 2014. With Zamboanga del Sur National High School initiative constructing 2 laboratories with 40 computer units each, there are 3 secondary schools with functional computer laboratories.

It plans to computerize all schools by 2016: at eleven (11) schools every year in the elementary. It will optimize school, local and DCP resources to rehabilitate computer laboratories of the remaining 16 schools at an average rate of 6 schools per year.

With the available computer units and internet connectivity, the training of principals/school heads, ICT coordinators, and the access/registration to the Learning Management Resource and Development System (LRMDS), the schools can access the learning materials available in the web. With these, it is expected that the City Schools Division of Pagadian can improve its performance in many aspects, specifically in the National Achievement Test (NAT) in Grades 3 and 6, and in Grade 8 and 4th Year.

It also foresees, the increase of the level of competencies of the teachers which is very disappointing. There were only 3 out of 240 Grades 1 and 2 who had 75% and higher MPS in the Teachers English Proficiency Test and Process Skills of Teachers in Science and Mathematics (TEPT-PSTSM) in 2012, and there were only an aggregate of 6 out of 224 Grades 3 and 4 teachers who passed in 2013 TEPT-PSTSM.
