3. A. Definition 3

4. 4 CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION is, most fundamentally, a framework for teaching and learning. Based on this framework, Contemporary Education offers curricula, institutes and a blog to reimagine education for the 21st century.

5. VISION to transform schools into centers of meaningful reflection on how we respond to our human needs practically and theoretically, in the pursuit of healthier lives and more just, peaceful and sustainable societies. 5

6. 6 MISSION to transform education to empower students to make meaningful decisions in their lives

7. B.Contemporary learning and teaching 7 Learning modes

8. 8 CONTEMPORARY LEARNING prepares students across all curriculum areas and learning stages with skills and capabilities to thrive in a rapidly changing and interconnected world. It connects students and engages their sense of curiosity.

9. IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER: Teacher know and understand the needs and talents of their students. They are flexible and select from a range of effective teaching strategies. Environment inspire students to be leaders of their own learning. Students collaborate and use critical and creative thinking to solve complex problems and become mindful global citizens. 9

10. W hat is the most effective method and strategy in teaching? 10

11. There is no one single effective teaching method or strategy. 11

12. 12 ROLE AS A TEACHER/ EDUCATOR: proficient in many teaching practices and, more importantly, be able to assess their impact on students and adapt their teaching practices to assist students if they are not responding or engaged. highly proficient in assessing student needs and talents, evaluating their impact, intervening using multiple methods and providing feedback to students on their learning. – (NSW Government, “Great Teaching, Inspired Learning,” p. 6)

13. LEARNING MODES highlight different ways in which learning occurs. Each mode requires students and teachers to be interacting differently with space and each other. 13

14. 14

15. Authentic collaboration means students: work together on a common task, project or goal have equal contribution and accountability are dependent on the whole group. Collaboration includes the sharing and refinement of ideas, problem solving, designing, prototyping, testing, evaluating, recording and presenting. 15

16. 16 High quality discussion: takes place between peers in small and large groups is planned learning occurs frequently at key points during the learning sequence Discussion should be an integral part of learning to develop critical thinking, creativity, reasoning and resilience

17. 17 Thus, teachers can facilitate discussion by posing questions that provoke a response, reaction or deep thought. Throughout the discussion, they are a guide and prompt and should manage strategies that encourage equitable participation.

18. Feedback and reflection can have a high impact on student learning when : feedback is immediate, regular and relevant learners have planned time to receive, reflect and act upon feedback feedback is provided as a guide for learning, not just as assessment 18

19. Thus, feedback and reflection is an important part of student learning that should be specific and planned. It can be used as an opportunity for students to set learning goals and iterate on their demonstrated learning. Teachers act as coaches and mentors during feedback and reflection. 19

20. 20 Guided learning : provides opportunity for differentiated instruction can be delivered to large group, small group or individual learners should lead learners to increasing independence

21. 21 Thus, g uided learning should allow students to practice new knowledge with assistance from the expert, with opportunity for teacher and self-nominated grouping. Experts in this instance are classified as ‘someone more knowledgeable’ and may be a teacher or other adult, student peer or content expert

22. Explicit learning provides a platform for the acquisition of new knowledge where : learning goals and intentions are clear learners are generally directed to a central focus point new content can be delivered in a virtual or physical manner 22

23. Thus, exp licit learning should be provided in short, sharp sessions and may take place with large group, small group or individual student audiences. Teachers may have a more direct role in this mode where they are the expert and model new learning or provide new information. They may create or source virtual and digital content for students to view and save for later reference material. 23

24. 24 Students should have opportunity and experience in demonstrating their learning : in different styles to an audience as a learning opportunity for others . Thus, student learning is the focal point and may be a physical or virtual presentation, exhibition, performance or display.

25. Experiential learning : enables opportunity for students to apply or acquire knowledge in a practical context may or may not result in a completed product can occur in a virtual or physical manner . Thus, experiential learning should enable students to think critically and creatively about theories, understandings and designs and apply problem solving skills. 25

26. 26 Independent learning requires learners to self-regulate and make decisions about their learning through : self organization and time management choice in where they learn based on learning style and task accessing support and learning tools when required. Thus, independent learning can offer student choice in what they learn as well as the pace of learning.

27. C. Current trends 27 Top 7 Current Educational Technology Trends i n 2020/2021

28. 1.eLearning is education or training delivered electronically . it can be slide-based online activities, or it can also be an online course that helps a business train employees in necessary skills educational content is delivered to learners through computers, laptops, tablets, or smartphones many eLearning courses include animation, podcasts, and videos that create a multimodal and practical learning experience 28

29. 29 2. Video-Assisted Learning In recent years, video-assisted learning has become more and more popular as classroom displays This trend is also booming in distance learning conditions, which students learn through computer screens. Videos , especially animated videos, are extremely beneficial to enrich lessons and make content comprehensible . It improves students’ outcomes and reduces teachers’ workload.

30. 3. Blockchain Technology Blockchain technology is used in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and ePortfolios to verify skills and knowledge. The DLT systems will answer the problems of authentication, scale, and cost for eLearning agencies. Moreover , it can help student applicants publish their accomplishments during the job-seeking phase. 30

31. 31 4 . Learning Analytics allows educators to measure and report student learning just by the web. F rom that, it’s possible for them to better understand and optimize learning . helps educators identify blocks of students who may have academic or behavioral challenges. From that, teachers could develop a way to help students reach their full potential.

32. 5. Gamification If you are looking for a way to turn learning into a more fun and engaging process, gamification is the most suitable educational technology trend. The adoption of gamification is most popular in the K-12 education sector. It’s because kids are quickly engaged in gaming videos or getting higher scores in a game. 32

33. 33

34. 34 7. Social Media in Learning Many educational institutes have started using social media as a communication tool in which students can interact with others easily. Students can share study materials, discuss with others in a group, or easily comment on someone else’s post. Even an animated learning video could go viral on social media.

35. D. Issues 35 4 Major issues in education in the Philippines

36. 1. Quality of Education Decline in the quality of Philippine education at the elementary and secondary levels Results of NAT among elementary and high school students and NCAE were way below the target mean score . 2004 High School Readiness Test: 0.64% scored 75 % or better or 8,000 students out of 1.2 million examinees passed. 36

37. Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) as of year 2003 . Math: Philippines ranked no. 43 out of 46 countries Science: Philippines ranked no. 42 37

38. 38 2. Affordability of Education Big disparity in educational achievements across social groups . Socioeconomically disadvantaged students have higher drop out rates in elementary level . Most of the freshmen students at the tertiary level come from relatively well-off families.

39. 3. Budget for Education The Philippine Constitution has mandated the government to allocate the highest proportion of its budget to education Philippines still has one of the lowest budget allocations to education among the ASEAN countries. 39

40. 40 4. Mismatch There is a large proportion of " mismatch“ between training and actual jobs. This is the major problem at the tertiary level and it is also the cause of the existence of a large group of educated unemployed or underemployed.

41. CONCLUSION CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION is, most fundamentally, a framework for teaching and learning 41

42. There is no single effective method and strategy in teaching. However, teacher’s attitude( sensitivity) is one of the important element in an effective strategy 42

43. Adaptation is an important characteristic for survival 43

44. Strengthen collaboration between the government and teachers. Active participation and cooperation among students and parents. 44
